Hasbro is *always* looking for ways to get you to re-buy the same figure!

Fine by me, I held off on or avoided many figures, especially a lot of those core characters that are going to get multiple versions anyway. I'll get my classic Vipers when they show up on 40th Anniversary card backs, heck yeah!

I completely disagree. I hate the events. I hate having to watch them stretch out two seconds of information into a half hour. I like Emily and Lenny isn't bad, but I would much rather they just send out a few pictures and tell me when preorders are going up. I'm not interested in marketing talk or hearing about how awesome the art is (particularly since the art is so hit and miss).
Just send emails. |

Just send emails. When they announce FFF's or Pulse events, we know to be on our screens at (usually) 11-12 Eastern, and preorders are likely to go up at 1PM or in the past, 5PM. That makes for easy scheduling. If we take that away,"just send the email" leads us likely to more moments like "hey here's an email at 2:32PM on a Tuesday, BATs and Alley Vipers are in stock, good luck and godspeed!" Perhaps there's a way to mix the predictability of ordering with the efficiency of shorter announcements for upcoming products.

I enjoy the live events. I like hearing from them what went into the design of the figures and what not.
What I don't like about the live events is all the people that don't watch them and then we get the same questions 50 times from those people. Or the even better one is when they don't watch and then argue with someone that did watch and get the information. I remember I had multiple people argue with me about the modern retro Walmart line being on hold. Well if you had just bothered to watch the Joe panel you would know that and now you look like an idiot trying to argue with someone that got it straight from the horses mouth.

My fear is that they will re-release almost everyone on cardback - and they will be BETTER on cardback... therefor making me have to re-buy my entire collection.
- Better Paint Aps (like Zartan got) - Alternate Heads (Duke, Lady Jaye, etc) - Removeable Helmets (BBQ, Unmasked Beachhead) - Corrected accessories (Roadblock with a M2) - Adjusted 'vests' (Firefly, Cobra Troopers) That's why I have so far skipped most of the figures I dont like.. I know eventually they will fix them |
