We'll see 'em. The problem is that alot of places don't even have Wave 2 (Snarler, Skysweeper, etc..) yet. So retailers aren't ordering the Wave 3 stuff, at least not yet.
It's that damn retailer overordering that's "killing" (figuratively, not literally, at least not yet) the line. There should be no panic at all until after the holiday season. And then it wouldn't surprise me to see Wave 2 and Wave 3 showing up on shelves at the same time. |

It's the overordering that's the issue right now, and hopefully lowering the prices and the holiday season will take care of that. Again, quality or lack of (it's all opinion) of the RoC product is not the issue. It's that the stores ordered too much.

I know. The writing's on the wall...price drops, (rumored) canceled waves etc.... it's not a good sign. It sucks but I'm not gonna buy stuff I don't want just for the slim hope Hasbro will one day return to the redone "classic" stuff. The ROC figures are HORRIBLE!!!! They make the DC Infinite Heroes look good. If Hasbro ever releases the vehicles I named or gives me a classic Low Light, Sci Fi, Lifeline, Footloose..etc, etc. I'll be back. I'm sure I'd even fork over $10 a pop to get them. But until then no thanks. I'm done.

So we don't get a bunch more repaints. Meh, I haven't bought a single ROC vehicle (save for the little "vehicles" that came with the Target ex. Eel and AVAC). Unfortunately, Hasbro couldn't come up with anything worth their prices for the ROC line (IMO) and hasn't done anything significant with Resolute. I think this is indicative of lousy product development at Hasbro. There was a ton of potential for both of these, and the screwed the pooch, twice.

Cut your losses Hasbro! Go back to re-issuing vehicles from the 80's.

I'm starting to lose my optimism. I do agree that the Holiday season is critical and the price-drops at Target seem to have helped (maybe take a hint, other retailers and Hasbro?), but this is starting to look an awful lot like what was seen with the tail end of the 25th/ME line and the Indiana Jones line.
If you think about it, there is no competition for Transformers (no Go-Bots or anything of the like) and outside of the Star Trek figures there's none for Star Wars (sci-fi figures). Joe has CORPS, Bravo Team and all those others. Are they the same quality and coolness as Joe? Hell no. But sometimes that doesn't matter.

Wow.
I actually cancelled my pre-orders for the Lava Pod and SHARC on BBTS just a week ago. Now it seems I wasn't going to get them anyway. Weird.

Right, for the most part, retailers don't care about the "what" (what particular vehicle is in the wave, 25th/ME or RoC, etc..). They just care about moving G.I. Joe branded product off the shelves.
It's the overordering that's the issue right now, and hopefully lowering the prices and the holiday season will take care of that. Again, quality or lack of (it's all opinion) of the RoC product is not the issue. It's that the stores ordered too much. Meanwhile, Hasbro's Q&As, as with Indiana Jones, will say, "The Rise of Cobra line was very successful for us, but collectors just didn't seem to latch onto it the way we'd hoped they would. Those awesome Pursuit of Cobra figures will be the first thing on our list to come out if the sequel to Rise of Cobra comes about, though!" |
