"Just in from UK Toy Fair 2012 comes word that there will be no GI Joe toys for the UK this summer. HISS Tank boards member DarkHorse was in attendance and brought us the bad news today. Support for GI Joe internationally has dwindled ever since the Rise Of Cobra line underperformed at overseas retail".

It's just as much Hasbro's fault for green lighting that travesty.

Those figures made it back here to the U.S. in Tuesday Morning discount stores.

ain't that a sumbitch? :mad:

well, to all our UK (and European) friends, this summer and for the rest of the year or so, if there's any GI Joe Toys we have available here, just let me know, i'll try and get it for you, and i will ship it to you guys. we'll do like a paypal thing, or trade, what-have-you. to the best of my abilities, of course.

there's just no explaining Hasbro logic. rat-bastards. :mad:

As a fan from the UK, I say it is a damn shame, but not surprising, since the RoC Elite Viper / Crimson Neo-Viper assortment only hit UK TRUs a few months ago. :D

this totally sucks. I get why the first movie figures sucked in relation to distribution we were stuck with wave one and only wave one for the entire duration of the life of the line
