Okay, the last news I gotz was on May 24th at link Transformers DVD news: Hasbro Answers Questions About the Sunbow Acquisition | TVShowsOnDVD.com .
Anyone have any further news since on reissues? And why is that article specifically mentioning Transformers? Were they more popular than G.I. Joe? ETA: If no news means this doesn't belong here, mods/admins, feel free to move this to the TV/DVD section. Sorry, still getting used to around here.

I think Transformers is, was, and remains a "hotter" property than GI Joe. But that's just my experience.

Yeah, Transformers is bigger they account for something like 10 percent of hasbro's revenue last year where Joe was practically nothing.

As of right now, without a doubt. Transformers has both a movie and a cartoon out that helped make it a huge juggernaut again. If the Joe movie is a decent hit at the box-office and the new cartoon proves to be popular then GI Joe will become a huge brand as well (although I still think it won't be able reach the level of Star Wars or Transformers).

Nothing will reach the level of Star Wars.

The article mentions Transformers because it was one of the most anticipated releases that didn't make it due to some division of Sony folding and other reasons. Hasbro did get the license back for G.I. Joe too.

I believe it's everything in the Sunbow library. Now all we need are reissues!
