We know that some things cannot be answered, but I for one am happy to get what insight we can. we never got this as a kid. And now the answers. 1) Will we be getting many more updated figures that are more accurate to who they are supposed to be? By this I mean any like the new updated comic pack Beach Head? We will not being going back and making lots of the same figures we have already done, but when we do, we always strive to make them better. 2) Although you cannot confirm this, is there a chance that we may see more Oktober Guard figures? Possible a 5 pack or at least Horror show and Diana. If not Oktober Guard is there a chance of any 7 pack extreme conditions for the Joe team, we love the troop packs. There is a possibility of a GI Joe extreme conditions pack in the future, but the Oktober Guard will not be coming to the line in 2009. 3) Can we please have some o-ring figures even if they are online exclusives, as long as they weren't overly priced and were not heavily over-used molds they cold make some money using molds they already have and give people who enjoy these figures a cheaper alternative to convention figures Hasbro is constantly trying to make our figures better, more detailed, and more articulated. We are now able to do better figures without O-rings, so we will not be going back and using old technology. But, the GI Joe Collectors' Club is always looking to deliver classic figures (O-ring and T-crotch) for the fans. 4) Will we see any more troop building sets like that of the Crimson guard, Greenshirts, and Cobra Nightwatch (specifically Cobra Blueshirts and Infantry Vipers)? Yes, in 2009 there will be more troopbuilders. 5) With the success of the line and the movie around the corner, is there now a possibility of getting some of the larger vehicles and play sets? Maybe a Joe Base, Flagg or Cobra Terror Dome, or at least some 25th accessory packs. With the movie, anything is possible. We are not ready to reveal our plans yet.

Maybe it is just me! __________________ "It ain't about how hard you hit, but how hard you can get hit, how much you can take and keep moving forward - thats how winning is done!" Rocky Balboa

Basically... we, the o-ring fans, have no Hasbro support. Ok, I will keep spending my money on eBay. __________________ HEROES DON'T DIE, THEY JUST RELOAD

i think their beginning to see that there is a lot of people who would spend big money for them. i think they already have the playsets in the works for thew movie so they will probably see how well they sell and then decide on the others.
