We just received a Press Release from Hasbro regarding their presence at the International Licensing Expo 2013 (June 18th to June 20th). In the release there is zero mention of G.I. Joe.

According to the PR, the following Hasbro Brands will "take center stage" at the International Licensing Expo 2013:

• Transformers
• My Little Pony
• Littlest Pet Shop
• Nerf
• Play-Doh
• Magic: The Gathering
• Monopoly
• Furby

TRANSFORMERS

Hasbro's iconic TRANSFORMERS brand has become one of the most successful brand franchises of the 21st century and features the heroic AUTOBOTS and the villainous DECEPTICONS engaged in an epic battle on multiple storytelling platforms, including film, television, digital gaming, publishing and theme parks. Hasbro and its licensees provide the avid TRANSFORMERS fan base with high value, age-appropriate merchandise including digital gaming, toys, apparel, sporting goods and more. DeNA and Hasbro recently announced the launch of TRANSFORMERS: LEGENDS, an action card battle game based on the TRANSFORMERS franchise, which is now available on the App Store for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch and on Google Play for Android devices. TRANSFORMERS: The Ride - 3D, currently open in Singapore and Hollywood, will officially open on Thursday, June 20, 2013 at Universal Studios Orlando. The thrill ride is a mind-blowing, action-packed experience that pushes the limits of technology to place guests in the middle of a larger-than-life battle between the AUTOBOTS and the DECEPTICONS.

In 2014 Paramount Pictures will release the fourth installment of the hit "TRANSFORMERS" movie series on June 27th. Based on the Hasbro property, "TRANSFORMERS 4" is directed by Michael Bay and re-unites the filmmaking team from the hit franchise featuring new AUTOBOTS, DECEPTICONS and cast members including actors Mark Wahlberg, Stanley Tucci, Kelsey Grammer, Jack Reynor, Nicola Peltz, Li Bingbing and Sophia Myles.

Tomorrow brings us 3 new issues to pick up from IDW!

GI Joe #5
HOMEFRONT reaches its explosive conclusion-and we do mean explosive: If BARONESS can't hold the city of Warrenton, no one will! And the fate of the entire G.I. JOE team rests in the hands of its newest -- and most inexperienced- member, HASHTAG. What will she decide?

Plus: The return of a fan-favorite Cobra character YOU'VE been clamoring for since he first appeared!

GI Joe A Real American Hero #191
G.I. JOE goes to the jungle! LADY JAYE's team is led into the jungles of southeast Asia for a mission that will pit G.I. JOE against an enemy they thought long gone: MAJOR BLUDD! Will fortune smile on LADY JAYE and her team or will the ruthless mercenary gain the upper hand? It's kill or be killed in G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero #191!

GI Joe Cobra Files #3
SNAKES AND TIGERS! FLINT's plan to trap the team's new, elusive enemy may be crazy enough to work: offering up a target too irresistible to pass up, he thinks they can draw their opponents out. But when things start going south-fast-it's up to CHAMELEON to salvage the mission. Will she put the team in danger in order finish the job?

Since gi joe has been canceled in France (it's not on hasbro home page anymore) I wanted to know if Joe Colton is a rare figure or is there any chance they will re release again so we can have a chance to buy it online for a decent price? 35 dollars on amazon at the time...
Thanks!
