He goes to the club store and puts in a quantity until the system tells him there isn't enough quantities left. So you put in 50 and the system okays it then you try 60 and then so on and so forth... |

The Recondo quote on the exclusives page makes me think otherwise.
It says there was no vehicle for Recondo so they had to change his color scheme and MOS. That to me says no Tigerfly/Hawk. Why would they say otherwise? Makes little sense for them to say that if they are including a Tigerhawk/fly this year. I see the Eaglehawk as the big vehicle, the Cobra Fury (Rage) as an IG vehicle, with a driver, maybe Ferret or Wild Boar. The Free vehicle will be a TF polar Sharc. The two pack will be Skysrtriker and Torpedo (drivers), although Skystriker can then be paired with the Tiger Rat, and WIld BIll can take the Eaglehawk. The three pack will be TARGAT. The parachute figure, TF Ripcord. I think some other additional items are possible too. With all the undertow figures in the IG side, there are no water based Joe figures in the set, so it stands to reason that there will be in the additional items. The polar sharc has not been reused yet, so it would be a good choice for a freebie. The TF team needs a way to get to the island, so that is where the Eaglehawk would come in. I just picked the Fury because it would look good in IG colors and it has not been used yet. |

Wow. Their explanation is just a lie - clearly inconsistent with their own posted quote. In the same sentence he's referring to the club exclusively as 'we' two other times and only references fans/club members separately as 'ya'll.' Now when he's called out for it he's trying to redefine his words and justify his actions. Seriously, that's awful. Any chance an attending delegation of 'tankers can take the time to respectfully communicate to Hasbro the concerns with how the club does business? The new brand head seems great and if done in the right way (honest and factual with supports) they really might listen. Quote:
I just feel lucky that I have the opportunity to actually buy GI Joe toys and y'all should be thankful that there is an organization out there that is making these for the bagin price of $600. Fucking ingrates!!!

I would not put much faith in that. Recondo is first and foremost a Jungle trooper. The fact that he came with the TigeFly was just cause they changed from the planned Wild Bill. SInce TF Wild Bill did get made several years ago, and came with the Tiger Rat, they do have a pilot for a TF Eaglehawk. What other big vehicle is there really? There has never been any doubt that the Eaglehawk mold would be used again to get more money out of the investment made in designing it. It may be Hasbro that made it, but they still see $$ from what the club does. (see the Night Boomer...)

You hit the nail right on the head - In this industry, having an honest opinion can come and bite you square in the ass. That's why I'll be stepping down soon. I don't want to risk any ill will pointed towards DESTRO and HISSTANK, but in the same respect, I'm not going to support something that I think/feel is complete and utter bullshit. When we have to deal with the scenarios that we deal with, only to be told "Hey, we're offering you shit service, but FYI, we're going to be charging you more, too"...Well, that's a tough pill to swallow for me. Club members pay dues. Those dues are supposed to go towards the cost of running the Club. I completely understand that things like Air Freight cost an arm and a leg (I was in logistics for a long time). I also understand passing those costs on to your customer base. That all said though, it's not what is said, it's the way it's said. Issues are always positioned as though we're at fault for them. Sorry for making you read such a long winded post. I'm just as frustrated as you are. |
