Now that you see the news being reported, those are some cool preview images right? It's especially cool to see the retro style packaging. On the side of a coolector, this is really great. Single pack figures with card art has been begged for by collectors for a while now. It sounds like everything that collectors have wanted. many of us have suggested the idea of buying online. I've actually talked with Hasbro at a convention about it one time. It sounds great ...

... BUT I can't help looking on the down side. Hasbro is a huge corporation. They always look at numbers and have killed lines for not selling their expectations even though the line might be selling well. How can an online sales bracket aimed at collectors generate the sales bracket they normally look for? This is good news, but how long will it last? I'd rather look at it that way until we know more. The last few months they have been saying "hiatus" but now they're throwing this out there as if to say they were joking or something. It just leaves lots of questions and Hasbro isn't one of those companies that's usually willing to answer. I guess we'll have to wait for the G.I.Joe convention for more! - Joe
