So Hasbro announced a 50th line and its possibly going to be a Target exclusive? Interesting?

I wonder if any of the vault characters will end up there?

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 the issue remains that this line ended up competing with retail instead of supplementing it. And I kind of doubt too many kids were able to buy many of these figures. And I'm sure the added issues of distribution made Hasbro less interested. So why undermine retail? Why make a line that is so popular with adults that kids rarely see them?

it almost sounds like they think they can pull what they did with the line before the 25th started. I don't know if that can work twice. Unless every single figure is brand new and from the vault.

Ah, glad there was some final word about those Croc-Master and Blowtorch repaints. It would have been cool to have them, but they are pretty easy to customize ourselves (and both original figures were pretty common so I can imagine getting some to repaint wouldn't cost much).
As for a "hiatus", I kind of want one to catch up with all the other stuff I collect. I'd be content if after the Kwinn/Ultimate wave and the Night Landing, there was a full year with no new Joe products (still have the FSS2 and whatever Joecon offers to look forward to, at least). Then Fall 2014, Hasbro releases all the cool vault figures they've been clock-teasing us with, those zombies and ninjas, a new WHALE, etc. |
