Nope. No spirit in wave 4. You guys think there's a chance of another vehicle set for this year or is this going to be everything? Besides the terrordrome.

I'd certainly hope there'd be another set. 1 Big set with a wave of blind bags would be the smallest "seasonal" offering yet. Something to attack the Terrordrome maybe? Like a Mauler vs Stinger |

Seems weird to bring out 2 sets already, and only the terrordrome for the rest of the year. Of course it wouldn't surprise me.

I've heard rumblings about the Kre-o line not continuing much longer - and I've also seen images of D&D's Wave 2, so I'm not taking them too seriously - but I wish Hasbro would be a little more transparent with their plans. Making customers nervous about your products doesn't really help sell them that well...

Exactly. Every time something new hits, you wonder if you'll see another wave of it or is it done. I was very nervous before toyfair about kreo, but they surprised me with their joe offerings. I'm hoping if sales are good again this year that we get another couple of waves of it. I mean it's the only joe product really selling well at all.

The Star Trek line has about as much hope as their 4" and 12" lines that sat on discount forever. D&D, IMO, is 25 years too late or Kreo is trying to compete with Lego Hobbit line which is still 2 years too late. Is D&D still popular? I recall it when I was in middle school. Now, I don't see the Kre-o Joe line going forever but they have plenty of characters to draw from and costumes and vehicles. New parts are being created for 2014's line which is only the second year being available. They have not been tied to the recent movies either. As long as TRU wants to carry them, I will buy them. Heck I just picked up someone else's collection and have had offers to part it out. As for 2014 - I don't think we will see anything beyond the wave 3 and 4 plus the three sets. We were leaked the Wolverine last year and I don't recall anything else. ToyFair seemed pretty comprehensive. Save your stacks of $100 bills for this fall's Terror Drone and Collection 4. |

I love all the doom of the line talk. Please state your source of the rumbling...

I'm merely saying that I think Hasbro could be a little more open with their plans and, given that in the past they have had problems with delays or cancellations (and I know Mattel is guilty of that, too), it does make buyers a little nervous when they're not sure what's coming next. We're actually in agreement. I think there IS a future for Kre-O and Hasbro should be exploiting it to the maximum. I'm just saying that they should let us know that's what they're planning. Not because we're ''entitled'' because we're the fans who ''kept the line alive'' or whatever but rather because in this economic climate the more you can reassure your customers, the more you'll sell. Which is good for everybody.

Well, I will agree with you on that Hasbro has a horrible PR program to lay out future plans. It makes me wonder if they have a long range calendar. The 50th Ann for GI JOE did not exactly sneak up on anyone and this seems like they went back and said, "hey, whats still in the back that did not sell?" Blowtorch? well, lets throw in a SE repaint with a vehicle repaint. Yes let's go with a few from the concept vault too"
