I guess because people are disappointed and need some where to divert blame beyond their own unfounded expectations.

I blame my self for being disappointed, but my expectations of what this would be was formed by the image of the O-13 jumping out of the Command Center that popped up a few times while Hasbro was teasing the line. I don’t know if that image was Hasbro’s doing or not.
Edit: my bad, it was a MOBAT & it’s still on the front page of the news feed. I swear I saw one with the command center too Last edited by txbart; 07-18-2020 at 03:46 PM.. |

Roni mentioned that more is coming in September. So does that mean we have to wait until then before we see W2 of this line, or are there leaks somewhere?

This line is "retro" to me in the same way TVC is "vintage" for Star Wars. It's about the packaging and presentation.
Hasbro should have just called it GI Joe: The Vintage Collection since there's already a precedent for what this line has the potential to become. Calling it "Retro", and they did call it that on the Live Stream, when the Star Wars "Retro" are vintage repros only confuses the market. Continuum defined as “a continuous sequence in which adjacent elements are not perceptibly different from each other, although the extremes are quite distinct.”

I'm not disappointed by what was revealed. But as the things went on, I was looking forward to a more cost effective approach to having that vintage carded look. I can't bring myself to drop current prices on vintage carded product knowing that much of the plastic and O-rings are deteriorating inside the bubble.

Because this line is picking up right were the 50th Anniversary line left off at the start of the hiatus, with many of the same action figures and builds even, I think Hasbro would be better off to call this line G.I. Joe Continuum.
Continuum defined as “a continuous sequence in which adjacent elements are not perceptibly different from each other, although the extremes are quite distinct.” Oh wait G.I. Joe Continuum. Has a nice ring to it. |
