The only reason why we "bitched about the club" on the Tank is that whenever you gave constructive criticism on their forums, they would delete it. And their forums were so messed up that whenever you quoted someone, it would list their email address. When people asked them to fix that bug on their forum, they were politely ignored.
Sorry, I'm bitching about the club again.

I think the lack of word from FP over the last few months of speculations was confirmation enough. I do think it is a sad ending. Even when I bitched about the club for whatever reason or another I have always enjoyed the Cons. I may not have agreed with everything they did or didn't do but the Cons were always a great time. It sucks that I will be missing the last Joecon but I will at least try to attend Hascon with an open mind. I am a bit concerned about the future of the exclusives as I have really gotten use to the extra 30+ figures a year.
I don't think it was the bitching about the club that led to its demise, I don't think it was the clubs flaws either. Things just run their course. I'm sure Hasbro just probably has plans for the brand that no longer required them to license the product out. I am sure they will use Joe as kind of a platform to build off of with the cinematic universe they are planning. But yes at times the constant bitching got a bit old.

Frankly, I'm glad to see the back of Funpub. My first convention was 2013. I'd never even heard of Joecon before that year, so I was completely open minded when I arrived. I got there and promptly came to the conclusion that Savage and the other lame-o were a couple of complete pr*cks. They had just the right mixture of derision and arrogance that put a dark cloud on my attitude that first day. And I didn't know these guys from Adam. I met several great people that weekend and ended up having a great time (and in the years since). I just don't like those Funpub guys (bearded guy ain't so bad) and am glad to know I don't have to spend any more time with 'em.

With all due respect, this news should come as a surprise to no one.
I know there are some that wanted to remain optimistic, but the writing on the wall was quite obvious. I'm hopeful for the future and can't wait to see what's next for G.I.Joe. |

Agree. It's just written in print what we already knew. I can't see why it's been so hard to acknowledge. Yeah it sucks and all but it is what it is.

^^^I agree. GI Joe has been around since 1964, and is older than most of its fans. It will be interesting to see if Hasbro takes the brand in a new direction. This has the potential to be an exciting time for collectors.

I doubt anything will change with Joe at retail or otherwise. This most likely happened because some corporate suit decided they were devaluing the brand or not marketing to the right target market with the convention deal. It's highly unlikely this is part of any master plan to relaunch G.I. Joe. It's much more likely that it's part of a desire to take Joe off the market until they believe it can sell to a bigger audience, which means we're still waiting for the next movie to hit for more toys, which means we're in status quo. And the loss of the club is a big net minus, because we would've gotten those movie toys anyway.

When they come up with a plan. They will tell us at Con that as soon as they have something concrete we will be the first to know! LOL
