Do you think Hasbro moved the release date of the Rise of Cobra DVD and blue ray discs to November 3 instead of the previous December release date to help the sale of the ROC figures? If they waited until December to release it parents would be too tempted to just buy the movie for kids for Christmas.
By releasing it earlier more kids will see the movie and start wanting G.I. stuff for Christmas. I'm hoping this will clear out all of the stuff that been stuck on the pegs and make way for the newer releases. |

Kinda connecting random dots here but I see where you are going. Stranger things have happened so you might be on to something.

I suppose it is possible. More than likely, they just wanna get it out that much sooner.
Unless there is a special giftset planned for Xmas, which would actually be cool.

It kind of makes sense. They should get it out so that more kids can see it and bug Mom and Dad they want GI-Joe toys before the Black Friday shopping mania. Plus they probably want to get the early Christmas shoppers who may start shopping after Halloween.
I wonder how this all fits into the Resolute DVD release since the rumor is that it's also Nov 3rd. |

I'm sure it something to do with it but almost all of the summer blockbuster are released in Nov... just in time for Christmas as they say.

Question is, what will they put out to help sell the DVD of a POS movie?

I think you are basically right. Lots of folks didn't see this movie in the theater but might see it on dvd - including kids. By releasing it so early, it might rekindle some excitement for the line. The BIG mistake was putting no extra material - even a teaser for a new cartoon - that could have connected the Pursuit of Cobra with the movie and next year's toy line. THAT would sell both some DVDs and some toys - maybe.
