I said Good Day!
Seriously though, I kept them MOC because I wanted to collect them. Yes, I lot of the figures were looking pretty stupid, but I had faith in Mr. Lucas. I was wrong. Funny story- about a year ago, I was with my soon to be wife, we were in a toy isle, she looks at a Naboo Soldier and says- "Who's that douche bag?" It's the only time I ever heard use that word.

Yup challenging the whole thing (I could careless what ONE website has to say about any movie for that matter, none of it would hold its water in court) since were are getting so in depth serious on this topic, lets up the the playing field and put some money where our mouths are, if you got supporitng evidence that be 100% proved great, if its from an internet site its kinda to easy to fudge the numbers to meet a specified means...
Why do you not consider ROC a success? |

To make a profit in the capitalist society we live you have to make double the money you put into the project. The cost of the movie was around 170 million so to break even it would have been great to make 300 million the first weekend. It did not happen and the joe movie did struggle to get to the top the whole month of August. It could have done Transformers numbers but it didn't. Which hurt it in the long run.

Okay, I think that is wacky but I will go with that. So as far as you are concerned then what does measure success? If we are not going with numbers that we cannot prove then you tell me so I have a starting point of what movie you do consider a success and why? (or can you not do this?....bet you cant!)
Why do you not consider ROC a success? Also where are all of these new fanbois and supporters to dirve ROC into the next millinium as "thier brand, their joe". I don't see it and see no evidence of it anywhere. IN the en dit is just tose who have always been there either from the begigning or from the 25th/ME reboot. The measure of the sucess of ROC to me is how well it sells it's toy line. I have seen soo many people on here use that as an excuse as to why the changes were made and why 25th/ME was cancelled. Well you got the changes, why are the toys not flying off the shelves? Someone expected it to do that and guess what, it did not happen. And don't blame the economy an dove roradering we have already gone round and round on those excuses. Other movies do not matter at all cause all that matters to me at least is Joe Toys and the future of what is to come from Joes. The sooner Hasbro makes that determination the better and we can move on. ROC has clouded the water pretty vividley and the future is uncertain. Even my magic 8 ball does not give me an answer in regards to POC ever emerging from all of this unscathed.... |

And here I learned in microeconomics that once you made back your investment, you had a profit. Learn something new everyday....
