What happens to our community after The Club loses its contract? Does anyone really think that Hasbro has plans for anything? Will it go back to 'unofficial' GIJoe Conventions like in the James DeSimone era?
I say we, as the community, seize control. Not sure what the entails... |

After the club ends and no other Hasbro product related to G.I. Joe hit shelves people will have to live of their memories of the good times, collect what already exists and make conventions out of the nostalgy.
In the other hand you can turn your eyes to other companies that are producing compatible toys to enlarge your G.I Joe world such as Chap Mei, Lanard, Marauders Inc., NewRay and enjoy what we have now instead of mourning what maybe will never return. |

I thought that the reason the club license wasn't renewed was so that Hasbro would put out their own HasCon exclusives?

Do we know for sure the club won't get another extension after 2018? I haven't seen final word one way or the other yet.

That's unfortunate. A LOT of 80s and 90s Joes won't be made then. Let alone guys like Extreme, Sgt. Savage, or the JvC/VvV/ST era guys. Very disappointing.

I think it'd be pretty cool if we had some third party companies similar to what's happening with transformers where we get the figures we want made and honestly prices would probably be comparable to what we're paying now with club figures.

I think fans are already doing "unofficial conventions" - COIL Con comes to mine.
This fan will probably sell off some of his collection, as I get older, I realize i have a lot of "stuff". I want less stuff. I am still in the Army and now at the rank where we move often, 3 times in the last 4 years. All of this "stuff" is a hassle to pack, unpack, inspect, display, repack... I have sold off half of my 90's era Star Wars collection in the last six months and the last of my vintage. Joes and Joe related "stuff" are next. I have bags of stands and boxes of bubbles for example, carded figures I will never open... I gave a bunch of boxed vehicles, 50th figures and SW deluxe figures to Toys for Tots this year (filled a bin) I think I will downsize to the 1982-1986 era and maybe keep October Guard and some of the 25th/30th stuff.

I'd be all for this. The 3rd party masterpiece stuff for transformers is amazing.
