next questions should be:

when will you fix shitty distro

no but seriously will you please just fix the shitty distro

why wont you quit waisting plastic on snake eyes and cobra commander...do you hate al gore that badly.

do you hire people who never played with or collected joe to make such critical key characters like... serpentor.

if so why hasnt someone who "cares" corrected their third and final flawed abortion, (you know, that thing they call serpentor) yet?

oh and are you ever gonna fix that shitty distro.

ps instead of a another plastic wad mummy thing taking up space in a box set, could you maybe in the future ask the fkn fans what they want like ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhh dr mindbender or anything in there, even another cc would make more sense than atilas mummy...really? atilas mummy? godsdamnitalltohadeshasbro
ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh hhh

i really hope they do market research here, but then maybe wed all be happier if they did...fktards.

Yeah, I don't think they'll respond to such polite and well thought out questions.

[Viper6]

no, im sure they wont, but politeness has limits. when fan consideration and satisfaction has been so largely ignored they should expect as much. we are the very people that fattend hasbro up in the first place since the early 80s we have supported this BS tirelessly...i think its time they start to get more of a rub and a little shit talked up close and personal at conventions and the like. they shit on whats sacred when they could just as easily give a listen and everyone win. i think its time to go cobra on em

It has been said time and time again: Hasbro has ZERO control over how the figures are distributed. None, zilch, zippo!

The ONLY factor Hasbro has a hand in in regarding figure availability is how much is produced, but Hasbro can only produce what the retailers order. And if the retailers are caught off guard when a product is unexpectedly popular, Hasbro can only do so much to compensate.

Don't blame Hasbro, blame the retailers.

hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm, well surely they could allow a gijoe hasbro direct club for those of us willing to buy volumes, even an advance pay...they are Hasbro, they could if they chose make an inroad and do SOMETHING, i assure you, they have choices as a mega corproration...and distro aside, atleast let fans vote on what we want made...gi joe is an american hero, that should reflect a lil democracy in the damn process eh?

The number of collectors willing to do that doesn't even amount to 1/100th of the amount of product Hasbro sells to the big box retailers. Hasbro is a business, if they cater to ANYBODY, it will be to the ones that pay Hasbro to make these toys.

Hasbro tried to do a direct to consumer GI Joe line in 2005

It was a BOMB despite doing just about EVERYTHING fans wanted.

Since July 2007, we managed to get (in some form or another) more than 75% of the classic characters, most on single cards plus we're even getting comic packs, DVD packs, and vehicles. That isn't bad for toyline that was cancelled in 2005.

While I don't take Viper6's angry tone, you can't still be using the "hasbro/retailers caught off guard" excuse to explain the poor distribution. This line has been selling out for over a year now. Joe is popular, and it should be a surprise to no one at this stage.
