If I was a Hasbro customer service rep and I get an email from a 7-year old asking for a Renegades Storm Shadow replacement, I'll have the effort of sending him a a Renegades Storm Shadow packaging without the figure nor the accessories to piss him off with a little note saying "Nice try old man."
Hahaha!

As a kid, I got three free MASK figures by lying through my teeth in a letter saying "there was no figure included in the box". Their first response was "take it back to the shop", but I persisted and they sent me the whole boxed item as a replacement. Did it three times to different addresses over a long period.
I've developed a few morals since then... honest.

Great story.
Very doubtful that Hasblo even gives a damn about the ARAH Joes fans anymore. They are trying hard to get "new" younger fans ... I hope Retaliation succeeds. For the brand's sake.

Just like that Night Landing that's coming up. Or that Night Viper. Or the Crimson Guard Or the Alley-Viper The problem is that some collectors think "caring about" them means "cater only to us with every single figure at all times." Hasbro cares about ARAH fans as much as they're able to while keeping the fact that they're a mass-retail toymaker in mind, and that they want the brand to continue on-shelves rather than inevitably die off in 5-10 years. So yeah, they're gonna keep trying to get the kids, come hell or high water because that's what businesses do. Between 25th, PoC, and 30th the "ARAH Fans" got a hell of a lot of love from Hasbro, and the Retaliation lineup is far more "existing fan friendly" than RoC was by a country mile. |
