Ok,
on the back of what has been discussed about "What's keeping you in GI JOE at the moment" and baring in mind what was discussed in that thread and mentioned by both myself and Ender098.

So i got the new Hasbrotoyshop catalog in the mail today. Nice full color slick catalog. Great features on star wars & marvel but........1 crappy page on joes.
Whats worse is it only shows the first 2 five packs and 2 sigma six figures, leatherneck & desert wolf. They don't mention who is in 5 packs.
There is no mention of single carded figures at all.

Hasbro released their toyshop catalogue. . it's let a few people down already on Yojoe.com, the 20 or images of Transformers & Star Wars and apparently.. get this 1/2 page of GI Joe stuff.
The shocking thing is.. when the line gets canned hasbro will say its because of poor sales and lack of support from the consumer, hasbro won't mention that their p*ss poor marketing and advertising and rather shoddy product design are what killed the line before it got going.
For what it's worth has anyone seen this catalogue, what did you make of it?
I think most people that have access to the internet would of seen the toys in there as old news anyway.. however what about the casual parent, surely if GI JOE is being outgunned and outnumbered to this staggering ratio it can't have a hope of surviving?
