I'm stoked at what they're showing. And even more stoked that they would try and cram it into 2011 instead of having to wait. If they go ahead with Joe 2, maybe they'll take some lessons learned from, hopefully, the warm reception of the new ARAH figures and the Renegades and apply them to the movie. I'm more concerned about the Starscream Sky Striker than Zaranna...

Instead of preparing a good 2012 year celebrating the 30 aniversary, Hasbro shows again a big collector's menosprecity.
1- They will "celebrate" the 30 aniversary of the line only with repaint stuff (Hiss, Vamp...), Renegades Stuff (yeah, I'm idiot, Renegades has 30 years!) and only a very few figures and vehicles that could fit in the "30 aniversary celebration". All because 2012 will be the fucking year of the GI Joe 2 movie (I hope it will be better than the 1st one, but I really doubt it). For that reason (and merchandising reasons) they will have to sell on april 2012 the same awfull figures and vehicles that were the ones of RoC. So that brings us only 3 "30 aniversary celebrartion" waves, one in october, another in december and perchaps a new one (If Paramount agrees) in february. 2- The SDCC will again have a figure awaited for the majority of collectors. Thanks a lot Hasbro because you give a green light again to all the scalpels that will purchase the figures at $24 for selling them later at $240. It's really a too kindly operation for all the collectors, specially for the international ones. I thougth that the 30 aniversary celebration would be in 2012, not in 2011, perchaps you don't know to conut: 1982+30= 2012, not 2011, but Paramount is bigger and merchandising and "money rules" wins everything like nostalgia or aniversaries. What a pitty. This convention has made me very very sad, but I will have to see the good point too. It will save money.

I find all the Zarana complaints funny. There will be plenty available at HTS just like most years. Last year was the ONE exception, ane everyone is predicting doom and gloom based on one year and completely ignore the previous years.
Chill out about Zarana people. They misjudged Slaughter, the screwed up for just ONE year. It won't happen again, they learned from their mistake. |

Zarana as a SDCC exclusive, complete failure. I am sooo disapointed. Offering the number one requested 25th figure at a convention that has been sold out for months. So if you don't already have you tickets, you lose. Thanks hasbro. You really learned how to make fans happy with last year's Sgt. Slaughter.

I know I'm in the deep minority (my tastes always find me craving what's off putting to the masses) but I'm royally freaking bummed about the Mechs being cancelled...they add a fun element to the line. Am I the only one feeling this pain?
