>>11148814>The vehicles that everyone complains about being hollow plastic shells?I don't get this complaint. They're no more hollow shells than most Hasbro vehicles and they don't even have the negative undersides like so many Hasbro vehicles.
Even that monster truck that McFarlane made wasn't a hollowshell, because it has the same interior that real life monster trucks have.
NEVERMIND the fact that most people wouldn't really give a shit anyway if they are hollow or not. Quality scaled vehicles are always welcomed, hence all those GI Joes with negative undersides still being loved.
>Anyway, there are easier ways that Hasbro could get their shit on retail shelves for cheaperPoint of the matter is that they haven't. 4 years into the toyline and it's still a trickle.
>I'm sure people are "joking" when a bunch of figures that were supposed to be spread across like 3 months all end up dropping in two weeks or whateverThe posts I'm thinking about were clearly joking, but how many figures are we talking about? We used to get 6-8 figures per wave back in the day. A new wave every 2-3 months, and with more popular lines getting half waves during busier months (summer and holidays). See pic as example for how a line was formated every year.
I'm getting sad just remembering how fucking good we used to have it and the fact I have more disposable money now but less to spend it on.
>Not hard to decide to continue on selling the line at basically the same size that you already have been for....25 years.Don't be dumb. The 25th line came AFTER Hasbro decided to kill their 1:18 line for Sigma 6 to gain sales and AFTER Sigma 6 FAILED to gain an audience. By all conventional wisdom, the 25th line shouldn't have been as successful as it was, which Hasbro was prepared for, hence planning only two boxed sets.... yet, it was a gigantic hit.
Anyway, point of the matter is that Hasbro is ignoring what makes GI Joe a gigantic hit and is struggling with Classified.
