Hasbro keeps putting out star wars and most of the new figures are just older ones on a new card! why can't Hasbro do this with GIJOE ? put out some old 25th on new cards. I would buy them! Hasbro also does with star wars is the crossover with the Transformers. why can't they do that with GIJOE? i would love a transforming Hisstank

Star Wars sales are up here.
Transformers sales are here. Joe sales are here. That should answer the questions.

I know we've discussed the cross over with TF before. To me, that is the only cross over that makes any sense, because there is actually a comic that goes with it. (and if it ever happens, please let it be a Joe/Cobra vehicle that transforms into an actual TF character and not a Joe/Cobra character...)

As others have said, Star Wars sells better. Besides, look at the way GI Joe fans complain about repainted figures, do you really think the same fans are gonna buy the exact same figure? This would really only work with the hard to find figures and that's basically just a small handfull of figures (maybe a wave's worth)
As for the Transformers crossover, Hasbro has said in the past the reason Star Wars and Transformers are crossed over is becasue they're sci-fi lines and apparently GI Joe isn't I think it would be a great line (especially if you had Transformers characters turning into GI Joe vehicles) |

I'm still holding out for something like this:
GIJOE/Transformers Crossovers: Transformers in 1/18" scale (or close enough) with GIJOE/COBRA pilots. I would love it if Hasbro would at least experiment with a 1/18 transforming Seeker mold. They could get several items out of it. If it does well, do more. If not, at least they tried. WAVE I Starscream with COBRA Commander Skywarp with the Baroness Thundercracker with Wild Weasel WAVE II (Conehead Kitbashes) Thrust with Strato-Viper Commander Dirge with AVAC Commander Ramjet with Aero-Viper WAVE III Jetfire (red/white/black Seeker done as an Autobot?) with Ace Decepticon Warrior (the purple jets from the original mini-series) with COBRA Pilot Sunstorm or Acid Storm with ??? ::shrugs:: I think it would suck in both Joe and Transformers collectors. My only thing is I would rather see 3 3/4" action figure scale Transformers in their original shapes rather than the characters done as Joe and COBRA vehicles. If they did do transforming Joe/COBRA vehicles, I would suggest new characters for them.

I'm not interested in any crossover toys but the Transformers did make appearances in Marvel GI Joe so if they wanted to make crossovers, I see no reason why they wouldn't.
