Actually,I do think the GI Joe guys do care about the fans.

Truth is,ARAH style Joes weren't selling enough to please the big-box retailers.But Hasbro is trying to make what we want-shown by the increased hip articulation 25ths are showing up now.

This is a cool question When I was at SDCC I told a few Hasbro guys about the site and asked if they had been there. They said they hadn't at that time, but thought it was pretty cool, and encouraged people to do things like this site. But I'd be interested to hear their feedback on this site too.

General Scarlett Hell hath no fury.... Offline --> Posts: 7,646 --> Join Date: Dec 2006	Got the answers tonight...........here they are........... 1. Being that this is the 25th Anniversary of ARAH, why aren't the Sunbow Cartoons being Released? Great Idea. We are looking into this already and hope to have some more defined news at ToyFair. 2. Why are Waves 2 & 3 so are to find in the stores on the east coast, concidering Hasbro's Corporate Office is in RI? While corporate offices are here in RI, our products are manufatured in China and clear customs in California, before being distributed to retailers, who distibute to their stores nationally. With increased production, it should be easier to find what you are looking for. 3. -Will they retooling the vehicles so they can fit the current figures? Yes, all the Target vehicles will fit current figures 4.Ask them if there creative team ever comes to joedios.com We check out almost all the fan sites on occasion, including dios. We also keep an eye on the boards to hear what is going on. 5. How do they decide on what products and prototypes they put into production, for instance, test groups, surveys, etc. and how can you volunteer to be a part of it? The Joe Team works with a variety of test groups to decide what products we put into production. We also have some of the biggest Joe fans right here in the Hasbro officers. But, Thanks for the offer, we know where to find you. __________________ Non illigitamus carborundum~Vos mos non effrego mihi Coming soon: 'JoeSpecialOps'

Sonneilon aka 'Paul WS Anderson' ;) Offline --> Posts: 7,751 --> Join Date: Jul 2005	Wow... they answered a question by ME! Well, I think it was by me. It was hypothosized on the JBL that the vehicles being released will be able to fit 25A figures. Which probably means, the guys at Hasbro KNOW that 25A can be a hard fit for ALL vehicles so they are picking and choosing and using what is still available. But seriously, you tellin' me that a 25A can't fit into a HAVOC??? Funny they reference the Target exclusives but not TRU? This might be info that needs to be told on other sites. GenScar, make it so!

Sonneilon aka 'Paul WS Anderson' ;) Offline --> Posts: 7,751 --> Join Date: Jul 2005	It's pretty much the truth. I think it was at the con that the different employees will check out the sites. I know they hit the JBL but the JD, I don't know. As for their 'test' groups, it's nice to have fans IN the company but that can also create a microcosm where... Well... Look at the 25th Anniversary. Surely, none of those guys were like Craig or Frank in that they are trying to push the series forward with new characters and whatnot. Then again, most fans are ARAH oriented so that 2002+ stuff probably didn't float with them all that well. But man, the DTC stuff, most of it, was pretty darn good.
