ZOMG! LE DETH OF LE LYNE!
50th Anniversary is next year. We will get a product offering. *Does unmentionable things to everyone's panic button.* Tell you what though, vintage is going to see a sharp increase in pricing as everyone re-directs their focus to filling holes in their ARAH collections.

So Hasbro gives everything to Transformers. But for G.i. Joe we get all must nothing. Not cool hasbro. If they want G.i. joe to have sells they need to make a new cartoon that last longer then one season & give it a big toy line.

It's not like Hasbro just flipped a coin and decided that Transformers was going to get all the focus

Let me guess how this will go.......Death of teh line? It still cracks me up that some people would rather be negative and get nothing than get a little product. After all, being right is way more important than a line you supposedly are a fan of, right?

What cracks me up is how some people are supposed to be this toy production/marketing geniuses until the second a former Hasbro employee post something about actual productions and then they're like "I never knew that, post more!" SMH

For those in the know, was anything Jurassic Park shown/discussed?
Toys R Us memo from May mentioned a classic collection for 14/15- I also wonder if the current wave will see more releases, possible expanding upon the unreleased Jurassic Joe figures. |

I really don't feel the same gloom and doom as most. Yes 2014 will be very light for 3 3/4 figures but de priest has already said we will be getting something. Then we have the awesome kreo line going strong and should see some great things for that, which I'm very psyched for. Some cool sideshow figures coming as well. It should be a pretty fun year even if its light. Gearing up for the next movie and hopefully cartoon, we should hopefully see a great line of toys to go along with it. I'm praying they get their act together as far as distributing and focus.

I think the writing has been on the wall since that lackluster Joe Con. I felt so bad for everyone that paid good money to go and see something awesome revealed and saw NOTHING.
And San Diego Con was an even bigger bust, considering it's a much much bigger audience. No new product. I also think DePriest's promises were extremely thin. "Oh yeah, we have stuff coming but it's a secret." He had to be coaxed to even admit that. If there were anthing coming, we would have seen SOMETHING. It's why those amazing figures were relegated to "unproduced concepts" and not the upcoming figures. They aren't getting made. GI Joe has had lulls before. We are going into one again, no doubt about it. Who knows what form Joe will take on the other side. I can only speak for myself but I don't mind really. I have almost everything I could have wanted and I collect plenty of other lines to keep me satisfied. Like someone said, now is a great time to go back and get some vintage stuff or fill in other holes. Look on the bright side...we got Kwinn and the rest of wave 3.5, we got the Eaglehawk, and we might even see SOME distribution of wave 4. I'm happy for what I got and I think the designers really did some of their best work on these recent figures. That Firefly from the 3pack is a damn work of art. If the line ends, it's ending on a high note. |
