JoeDios.com Forums - View Single Post - Bash The 25th and Hasbro Thread!!

Well, I just went on Hasbrotoyshop.com and looked for GI Joes. For a dying Line, Sigma Six seems to still be going strong! Out of 26 listings, 24 of them are Sigma Six! ONLY TWO of the 25th Anniversary Joe line sets...and they are both sold out! Maybe that shows how fast the stuff is selling out...or maybe it shows what I knew all along....if you want a line to die...offer it ONLY on your obscure website!

I see it this way, if the 25th is Suceeding, it because of the impulse buyers in the action figure aisles in the big three.....maybe if they had done this with the DTC line, I would be sporting my Munitia Figure and Cobra Officer right now!

Even if I WANTED their crappy 25th figures...where could I get them? I have 16 Walmarts, 7 Targets and 3 TRU's within 30 min of my house and all only have the 5 packs and a few hooded Cobra Commanders. (I know, because I've been looking for a IG Destro to do a head swap on my Pimp Daddy..LOVE that Golden Noggin!!!). I mean they're already on WHAT? Wave 5? 6? and If I WAS gonna Collect them, I'd have missed out on 95% of the single carded figures!

I hate Hasbro...I really do!

Oh, and checking Amazon.......

Hmmmmm...most Army builders are going for $12.99 whereas regular figures (With the exception of Flint (WTF???)) are less than $10. Hmmmmmm.....Could it be that Army/ Troop builders are more in Demand??

Nah! THEY WANT COBRA COMMANDER, DUKE, STORM SHADOW AND SNAKE EYES!!!God, with that classsical bounding leap in logic, I should work for Hasbro!!!!
