With so many of us (Outrider and I) on here NOT impressed with the 25th in Particular and Hasbro in General, and everyone tired of us taking the opportunity to bash them on EVERY THREAD, EVERY Chance we get, I figured I'd post this thread where we could pull posts from other threads over and bash the uber-megaconglomerate that is Hasbro and it's evil Cohorts...Walmart and Toys R Us, this way the other threads aren't clogged with our rantings!
So, to start, CaptMax stated this over in the questions to hasbro thread;

Come on! Hasbro has shown more love for GI Joe then anyone has a right to expect.They've brout the line back from oblivion over and over. It's obvious that someone in Corporate has a real love for the brand.
What other toy line allows a Collector's Club to produce exquisite and resonably priced versions of it's toys for fans? How many toy companie's allow fan-sites to submit questions about the line?

I'm assuming the above was a joke, but if not, here's my counterpoints;
The problem is, they would make oodles more $$$ if they would listen to what fans want and quit coming up with this crappy off the wall stuff!
The reason they bring it back is because
we keep buying it....no matter HOW Crappy it is! If you can produce crap and make a profit...wouldn't you? We need to hold these clowns to a higher standard and stop buying whatever crap they decide to mold and slap the GI Joe Logo on!
The collectors club "reasonably Priced"? Even with my membership, it costs $20.00 for a crappy new sculpt figure! And Con sets, you need a co-signer for! The only reason I like the club is they are gonna keep producing ARAH and Nu-Sculpt figures and not those delicate little 25th things!
Yes, they allow us to ask questions , to which they never answer and if they do answer, it's some double talk, like "It's in the works", "we're working on that" or "That's something we're considering". In 2002 when I got back into collecting, it took me about a week to figure out by looking on forums and Ebay, what would sell and what wouldn't......
And another Storm Shadow, Snake Eyes, Duke and Cobra Commander isn't gonna cut it!
