The one that will allow us to continue to use the trademarks: Duke, Snake-Eyes and Stormshadow. Beyond that, they're monkeys banging on typewriters I say.

Is for constructive criticism (will even settle for destructive) just anything but "Nice shot" or "Awesome".

That's how I see it. BUT if they bring in 'specialists' who actually push the line forward, cool. I talked a LOT about this on the JBL years ago, how hasbro should do short stories and cater to them. That "Colton Captured on Cobra ISland" was the bomb. It had SO many of us wanting a RESCUE Colton (and GI Jane) 6-pack and what not. Short scenarios are cool. Give the fans figures that didn't get love from the 25th era or the whatever the hell it's considered now.

Anyway, I put forth the concept of short stories over 3 years ago. Everyone else might see it as the 'environment' series, but I'm not sold on that yet. Unless they can actually support it properly. Otherwise, it's just a holding stage till the next movie.

There were some good questions asked, though some seemed to be a bit wordy so the asker could sound more intelligent I guess. Since I got back into Joes about a year ago and started reading thes Q & A sessions, I can say that Hasbro's answers have definately gotten better. These are far less aloof and evasive than I've seen in the past. I read a lot of positive stuff that I, and I assume other fans, wanted to hear. __________________ The United States will conquer Terrorism with the help of God and a few Marines. Some people, when trying to avoid thinking about those things that cause them pain, turn to drink, or perhaps food, or drugs... I turn not to any of those... I collect action figures, turning my mind to the hunt, so that I might find a mote of peace... Over the years, I've found that alcoholism is much more socially acceptable by far.
