Now I don't mean to complain, but why should Star Wars get top billing and GI joe gets a limited run and limited distributors? Yes, I know us GI Joe collectors are a rare breed, but why not make it easy for the next generation of GI Joe fans to find the figures like we did in a corner store toy isle all those years ago? I stand down from my soap box my bretheren.  |
Because of George Lucas. Back when SW3 was released and for X-mas, he wanted nothing to compete with his action figures. Lucas has the money to push it and Hasbro figures, "why not?" Sure, H wants GI Joe to be their flagship toy and with SIGMA6, they are pushing hard. 3.75", well... Uhmmmmm, uh....
