1)What happened to City Strike Firefly's suction cups?
2) Both Training Duke and Training Snake Eyes are MIA from Pursuit of Cobra but both boasted the same, very desirable training accessories... and the 25th Whirlwind was canceled and then popped up again as the Jungle Gun set which was also canceled... when concepts are scrapped multiple times, does it make it harder to try and push them forward say for a third time... or is it just a matter of finding the right place for these things eventually.

Any chance of adding an Underwater/Sea theme to POC?

Is there any chance we can clear up once and for all the design of the new figures; will they be realistic for the new line to go with the cartoon or more Clone Wars style in design? I know this was mentioned in the last Q&A but the answer is being read different ways depending on who wants what.

With so many great customizers out there, has Hasbro ever considered doing a "Design your own figure" contest in which the winner would have their figure put into production?

We have had numerous situations (not just G.I. Joe) where we have had a line tied into a Movie. After years of frustration, starting with Indiana Jones to the currenty Iron Man 2 figures. Retailers always order in large quantities of figures(mainly) to stock their shelves in hopes of selling all just because the product is tied to a Summer Movie. Years of experience, we as collectors know that there are numerous Waves of product to be released up to and beyond the holiday season. My question is, how can you sell enough product to retailers where both stores and Hasbro are both happy without saturating the pegs and shelves with the first couple of waves? Majority of kids (& COLLECTORS) get what they want within a months release of a Wave. After the product just sits until the Holiday season, in hopes of selling the rest from the inital order. For example Rise of Cobra. The first three waves saturated beyond imagination well into the Holiday season. Many, if any, never saw Wave 4 because the big three (TRU, Target & Wal Mart) didn't order due to large quantities of leftover product from the inital order. For future references, is there a way to get enough product per Wave to retailers for them to keep constantly ordering and making sure all planned Waves reach the pegs? Back to the ROC scenario, Wave 4 did reach pegs, but they were in stores that only ordered for the Holiday Season and sold for prices many people were not happy with. CVS, Walgreens, K-Mart for examples. Is it possible to get all planned Waves out and then during or after the Holidays release revision cases for those who missed out on previous Waves?
MODs: IF question is chosen feel free to reword to a less complex question from my babbling. |

I fear waves 4 or 5 (etc) gets cancelled or never has a chance to be ordered because of peg-warmers. We all knew how tough it was to get MASS Device parts 3, 4 and 5.
