it's not that they can't, they don't want to. having the two lines side-by-side you run the risk of cannibalizing sales of one with the other, which is what Hasbro wants to avoid. they are much better off giving consumers one choice, in one packaging.

I like to think the movie lines is a way for hasbro to say "Come on adult collectors, give the kids a chance to buy some joes too!!"

That's not how it works in retail sadly. I wish it were true what all fans think of the industry, we'd have happy days all year round on the Tank, but we don't. G.I.Joe as a brand name has to sell in order for it to remain on shelves into 2010. That's all there is to it.
a buyer would look at the sell through of the 25th line, compare it to the sell through of the movie line, and then tell Hasbro they want that successful line back, or something comparable. |

Hmmm....Night Raven is $40, not bad for the price. I want to see more images of that thing. Hopefully there is a ton of $40 and $25 vehicles in the line. The more vehicles the better!

$25 was nearing my limit for vehicles, so I guess they made up my mind for me at $40 for a Night Raven.
Hopefully I'll be more interested in the figures included with the $15 vehicles rather than the $25 ones. |

I don't know man, if it didn't have all the lights, sounds and spring loaded gimmicks we could probably get it for 5-10 bucks cheaper. I wanna see it in person cause it seems small for $40. If it didn't look to come with the Strato-viper I wouldn't lose sleep missing out on it.

Am I alone in thinking the movie stuff looks like crap? I'd rather see more variations of Snake Eyes vs Storm Shadow and repaints than see a hold on the 25th line for this stuff.
There are still a good number of figures and vehicles Hasbro could put out, why not an original Night Raven instead of the weird mini with Night Raven stickers slapped on it? Last edited by CallMeRotten; 02-13-2009 at 08:59 PM.. |
