They still need to keep all the same language/warning garbage to sell them. But they could have that layer peel off revealing the vintage file card bellow. Easy fix. They already do this, they have the 40th sticker removable on the empire strikes back packaging. |

To be honest, given the level of revisionism that would probably go on, I would prefer NO file cards. Just let me imagine my own lore. The MOTUC bios soured me on any kind of "official" story for revivals of old toy lines.

I'd love Larry Hama to write new bios. And maybe pull in information from the comics (I haven't read the comics, still on the to do list).

The solution for this is to keep the ID file cards on the packages!

Thats the point of the removable layer... You don't need to have multiple languages on the bottom layer. And people don't care if it's english only as long as the top layer meets all modern laws. (everyone knows G.I.Joe was originally a U.S. brand). Have You ever bought food from other country? I bet they put stickers on them, making them legal in your country, whats underneath... Oh it's the original language! As for cost and environmental impact, the carded package is a fraction of plastic and paper than a big box. Everyone wants the original looking designs, this is how we get that. New ideas can work. And we would get amazing designs from Hasbro again.

Yes sure people from other countries don't care. Sorry all the Spanish and French speaking fans out there.

They did an order a while ago and they are doing the cobra robot next. (the one figures go in). I've checked the secondary market for the Lg snake robot and I can't find anything. Hopefully they make it again, it's a beautiful figure. I wish hasbro would do one with articulation like the upcoming X-men sentinel figure, or maybe they can upgrade the figure they did.

Agreed. The file card concept pretty much ended and the revisionism started in the 93 battle corp era, like Duke recruiting OG Clutch from an Indy pit crew. Anything showing Duke being on the Joe team before the OG 13 has always been something I couldn't stand. I think Hama even went that route a few times over the years.
