Give us the vault figures and I'll be happy. Destro, Flint, Lady Jaye, Gung Ho, Tele-Viper, Cobra Officer, etc...

No, Hasbro specifically stated when they revealed them 2-3 years ago that they would be a running change in the line, a PP-like Croc Master and a Blowtorch based on concept artwork coloring. To me, the Blowtorch was the gem of those two. I'd actually like to see the Club do it in the FSS line.

Phillip: And lastly, people are still wondering wondering about that Croc Master/Blowtorch repaint release.
Derryl: They're not gonna see the light of the day. At least, not for the forseeable future. Some of the vault figures are gonna stay in the vault until we have a chance to release them. Hopefully someday. So one thing we've learned never to rule out out is that a figure in the vault could be coming into the line at some point, but no immediate plans. |

Just speculating and reading between the lines, but my tale on it is that Hasbro is under contract with paramount, to only push the retaliation line for the rest of 2013. In 2014, they'll transition from the retaliation line to a 50th anniversary line. Only new retaliation product will be available for the remainder of this year. Again, just my inference and speculation based on what was said and not said.
[QUOTE=Caravankidd;4420738]Kind of disappointing about Dollar General. I liked the figures and would have gladly purchased more from Dollar General if Hasbro had produced more waves. Quote:
I understand the brand taking a hiatus. I understand that most big retailers have no faith in the brand. What I don't understand is the situation with the basic wave. They sell good, the discount chains wan more, collectors love em, and I would imagine some kids are buying them too. They're all re used parts so there's no new tooling costs for hasbro. It would seem keeping this line going is a no brainer. Doing 1 or 2 six figure assortments a year would seem to be a good thing for hasbro. I'm not saying I know more than hasbro, I guess they have a reason, but it sure is hard to see what it is. I am happy that it would appear we will get something, sometime next year, although it'll probably be later in summer or fall. That's okay though, as my wallet needs a good rest. Plus, these motuc hitting big lots has got my attention now.

Someone correct me if I am misunderstanding what he said about the dg or basic line. He suggested that discount retailers want more waves of these but that they have no plans to do any yet. So let me get this straight, one of the problems joe has is that retailers don't want it. Well, this wave, retailers do and hasbro won't make em? I think it's safe to say the basic line has been a success so instead of riding it, they're gonna let the line fizzle out? I'm confused.

But when it came to the exclusives for Marvel Legends, Universe and on top of it all Transformers, Hasbro did kicked some ass.

Depreist wasn't questioned about the night Landing Raft. Everyone is chomping at the bit for that one.

I think Hasbro doesn't want to dilute the brand image more and compete with themselves. If we all know we can get a modern era fig for $5, then everyone is going to question buying a comparable toy for twice that, ref as regardless of the accessories and a movie licence. Remember those accessories are there to increase price and drive up margins and give the customer a sense of value. They honestly probably did not do enough volume with discount retailers to change their whole business model.
