I don't remember if it was Justin, EEJ or AdrienVeidt over on the JBL (or someone else even), but the 3.75" Joe fans are about 15% of the market. TF has a larger fanbase and SW, iirc, was between 60-80%.

In the end, the 'fans' alone couldn't support the online-only Joes. People can blame it on prices, weird frankensteining, online-only, lack of proper ads or whatever. But everyone knows that for a toy to succeed, there IS a formula. TV show/movie, ads and toy product. How did Hasbro think GI Joe would sell just to 'collectors' online???

A lot of us tried to do our part in helping the line, but the 'collectors' and 'fans' money can only go so far.

But here's a question I don't know the answer to. How come the Viper 6'r and the SB vs Plague pack isn't available on HTS???
