Post Your Questions Now For The GI JOE Q&A

M3T4L V1KING · 10-01-2011, 08:41 PM

The 30th Anniversary and Renegade figures have been appearing at US retail now, but from what I know, they haven't been spotted at Canadian retail yet. Any plans to improve distribution for these new series of Joe figures for Canadian retail?

Is it possible to retool the new sky striker so that the wings can sweep without retractiing the landing gear?

Reccently small numbers of the Iron Man 2 Mandarin wave have been showing up at discount retailers. Is this retailer stock liquidation or direct from Hasbro, and if direct why not sell the figures on Hasbro Toy shop so they are available to all instead of sold at a discounted price to scalpers who then charge six times retail?

Thanks for summarizing my question.
I firmly believe that pre-orders during an item's production will not hurt the sales of the additional thousands produced for show attendees only.

Many thanks for posting the answers there, Shin... Kinda disappointing about the lack of commitment of the Renegades question though. So far the only way I've managed to find them is in overpriced comic book stores, so I hope I can see them at regular retail soon!

Yeah, and it's not always a guarantee that one can get it at the show either.

Q) When are 30th Anniversary/Renegades figures planned for release in Canada?
A) No Answer

Dumb ass fucking Hasbro sons of bitches think they are to damn good to give a god damn fucking answer. Corporate fucking whore mongering sluts. An answer is "whenver your county orders, we will ship" or some fucked up lame answer than that is fucking more respectful than no answer at all, fucking mother fuckers.

I am expecting some sort of action to be taken against my post but I don't really give a shit, nothing pisses me off more than not giving an answer at all.

Hey Hasbro!

Is there any chance of....what? Oh...no answer, huh? Ok.

Spacemafia · 10-22-2011, 10:14 AM

I've noticed that JoeCon and club member exclusives work very differently than Hasbro SDCC exclusives. I would not make suggestions to change they way those real exclusives are sold.
Most SDCC exclusives are sold at Hasbrotoyshop.com so they are not entirely exclusive. If you read a few post back, I touched on this a little. So I think someone could ask Hasbro ;
Why not just call them SDDC premier items, or SDCC commemorative items? Something like that.

Solrac333 · 10-22-2011, 04:37 PM

(sigh) I didn't even think of ordering Zaranna from them. Shoot!

Waspinator · 10-24-2011, 02:01 PM

I asked Hasbro about taking preorders for SDCC items at NYCC. The rep. I spoke too said they discussed it but in order to keep the items available at the convention, they cannot sell anything in advance.

I do understand the purpose of a convention item but it still sucks. Esp. with scalpers cashing in...

An answer would be APPRECIATED this time.

BUMP! Need questions before Monday!

Snowflakian · 10-27-2011, 08:59 AM

Can we get any word on what has happened with the Ashiko with motorcycle armor vehicle set?

I know this one is kind of skirting the rules when will X toy... But we haven't heard anything on if this thing is even going to be released anymore.

Darkspeed · 10-27-2011, 12:23 PM

Regarding the current and upcoming line up of GI Joe Renegade figures, where did the decision come from to release early characters like Airtight, Firefly and Law & Order - Good looking figures, but with relatively small roles in the show - Than focus on more central characters like Destro, Baroness or Roadblock?

BlackMagnus · 10-27-2011, 12:31 PM

Will there be any more crossovers (of any kind) with the Transformers brand, ala SDCC Starscream?

Agreed, not giving an answer is just rude, Hasbro you are not all high and mighty as you may think you are, without collectors you are fucked. With that being said, answer the fucking question with a real god damn answer.

Wow, really? You do know that we (collectors) are not their target demographic right? We make up, IIRC, between 4-7% of their sales (it might be less then that), they could cut out all of the "collector lines" and still make money hand over fist. I feel any line that is geared to the collector is a godsend. While I agree that an answer for things is nice, they can't answer them all.

Well soooooooorrrrrry

Yes they can, with a "sorry, we do not have an answer at this time"

apocalypse · 10-28-2011, 08:38 AM

What I'd like to know is if they have any plans on reinvasioning any of the Dreadnok vechicles or any plans on adding any new Dreadnoks to the clan? BTW, love the BBTS exclusive!

omega145 · 10-28-2011, 08:59 AM

How about a 30th Flagg or Defiant?

behindthemask · 10-28-2011, 10:13 AM

My question is, can you see to it to donate at least 1 extra weapon from the 20 you supply your joes with and give it to the Marvel Universe Line. I mean Hasbro you make both lines, they're both at the same price point yet 1 gets 20 guns and the other gets 2.
