Help...

What is a good size for an avatar pic?

Observation...

Along with killing Duke within the first 20 minutes, has "Retaliation" killed the GI Joe brand (retail)?

Decline in action figure sales has killed GI JOE more than anything, add to that a rise in production costs, Hasbro's focus on licensed properties and terrible distribution of new product due to retailer apathy. Hasbro can make it, but if stores won't order or reorder, you cannot buy it! Right now they have a backlog of Star Wars cases in warehouses and who knows what else. This has been this way for a couple of years.

Yes, poor distribution played a big part in this. TRU has been the only place I can find anything in my neck o' the woods & it's usually pretty sad. Maybe with the 50th wave, things'll pick up a bit (just got my Low-Light/Night Viper & Blowtorch/H.E.A.T. Viper order today :) )

The crisis of action figures + the problem that Hasbro does not believe in G.I.JOE = the decline of G.I.JOE toy line.
We must wait for G.I.JOE 3 movie toys...

:confused:

GI Joe 3? Is the Rock really willing to do another Joe movie? Who is going to lead the Joes if the Rock doesn't return? Maybe Snake Eyes, Ray Park's the only one who's been in both Joe movies so far. Giving orders would be like a game of charades :p "What? What was that Snake Eyes? Timmy fell down the well...again?" :D

Lol, ;-)
