I will absolutely not buy the movie figures.. They do nothing for me.
I was holding out for the night raven, but it was very disappointing to me. It's too small. I am also going to miss the classics line.. Foolish to end the line without making all the characters they could have made money off... Footloose, Airtight, LowLight, LifeLine, Law and Order, Jinx, Kamakura, Monkeywrech, Zandar, Zarana, Sci Fi, Sneak Peak..etc. I was even hoping for Comic characters like Ghost Bear, Kwinn, Sparks.. etc. |

I wonder if they are so concerned the movie won't fair very well they don't want to create any competition for it with the regular (or classic) line. Without any other options, Joe fans are more likely to buy movie figures than nothing at all - according to what I bet is Hasbro's logic.

Hiatus or ending, I think it is a shame that Hasbro is choosing to go this route. Even if they were to just keep it alive with one old school character per every wave of movie characters I would be okay with that...But, when my checklist is done...I'm done.

There has been so much contradiction with Toyfair regarding GI Joe between the movie and 25th Ann stuff.First wave 14 has presumably combined into two 7 packs and the vehicles wave 5 got cancelled.Its very hard to determine fact from fiction.

The line isn't ending. They know Its one of the more successful lines Hasbro produces. They're trying for a new ago of Joe fans. I'd bet that in October we see the classic line back in full swing with intermittent release from now until then.
