The Official Hasbro G.I. Joe Club has sent out a new email updating club members on how JoeCon 2015 Registration will be implemented and you will need to pay close attention. Getting this sad state of affairs sorted out is not going to be easy.
- Can you sign up to be a member when Registration goes live? The Club email says no, then it says yes all in the same paragraph, it’s very confusing.
- There are 2 different sites for JoeCon 2015 Registration one for Dealers one for Attendees!
- It may take as long as 3+ days to confirm your Registration?
- Some G.I. Joe Club Members including myself are not receiving the Club emails.
- Because of the dock workers slow down and the back-up in China, the Official Hasbro G.I. Joe Club will not ship the non-attending sets to you until June.
There are also a lot of people who have not tested their user name and password because the club store has been down and they are unable to do so. I would also hope that all the exclusives that people are coming to the show to buy, will be available at the show to purchase, and if there is a problem the Official Hasbro G.I. Joe Club would give us notice and clarify that situation. Lets hope the dock workers slow down and the back-up in China did not effect the show exclusives in anyway. The good news is, all of the waiting should be over today if you even qualify for JoeCon 2015 Registration!
**UPDATE** The Official Hasbro G.I. Joe Club has responded to a few of our questions.
Will the all the Con exclusives be at the show?
We have gone to GREAT expense to fly everything in.
Can you sign up to be a member when Registration goes live?
Yes
You can read the complete Official Hasbro G.I. Joe Club email after the jump.
“Hello everyone,
As we prepare for tomorrow’s registration. Just a few additional notes:
Please note that there are NO non-member options this year (even though it’s in the brochure, the backup solution won’t support this). Everyone will have to be a member of the Club in order to register for the Attending or Non-Attending packages. Exhibitors, you will only need to be a member to register for packages. Booths and Tables do not require a membership. If you are not a member, you will be able to join at the same time.
There will be 2 different sites. One will be for the Registered Packages. The other will be just for the Exhibitors to register for their booths. Exhibitors, if you want convention packages as well, you will need to use both sites. For the booths and tables, there are no worries as we have enough space to accommodate everyone that needs an Exhibitor package. The Exhibitor site may not come up at the same time as the Registered Attendee site.
Please ensure that you go slowly and pick the correct items. The only way we will be able to make changes for you is to cancel your registration and let you start over. This is a limitation of the software. Again, the software will let you break every rule as there is no way for it to limit anything. However, as stated yesterday and earlier today, we will be reviewing every registration before we approve it. Tomorrow’s instructions will tell you how you can tell if you have been approved as there is no way to send you an approval email. There is no need to call or email us until after Friday if you have not seen your registration approved. You will be able to tell this by logging back in. This system will take us longer than normal to check so for tomorrow’s registrations it may take as long as 3+ days to review them all.
Attending registration will only be available for 5 days. It will be turned off on Sunday night around 7pm Central Time.
Non attending: We will get to you next week. We are holding back an allotment of boxed sets and some loose sets for you as well so there will be some available. Please note that most of these items are allocated to the attending members. If there is anything left after the convention, it will go in the club store. Because of the dock workers slow down and the back-up in China, we will not ship the non-attending sets to you until June.
Again from yesterday:
Unfortunately the backup solution doesn’t have total flexibility to edit registration mistakes as it is half computer and half manual. Therefore, please read the brochure again. Go slowly during the registration process, and please DON”T pick the wrong items that are not allowed per the brochure. We will review and approve or disapprove each registration. The only option we have for errors is to delete the registration and let you start over, which could cause a supply issue if someone else gets the item before you re-register.
Just a quick note on some of the rules:
Golden Ticket packages can only have 1 GT Aide with them.
Golden Ticket packages can order the other boxed sets as well if they want more than one boxed set.
American Hero and/or General’s packages can have up to 4 aides.
For the 3 3/4″ loose sets, you are only allowed one loose figure set per boxed set.
Don’t pick the Thursday Class and the Thursday Walking Tour as you can’t be in 2 paces at the same time.
Please make sure you put in the proper field (on the registration) all of the package holder’s name(s) and which package they are assigned to.
The software doesn’t know any of these rules, so it’s up to you to follow them (as we do know the rules).
Thanks for your patience and we apologize for any issues the delay has caused you.
Brian”

Yojoe77 says
As long as I get a repaint of bazooka, lifeline, Recondo, and roadblock, ill be happy. They could make a tiger force snowcat, since they have the mold. If they show a tiger force frostbite, then that would maybe reveal the 13th figure.
Formulazl1 says
Ok I can save $400 in 2015. I will most likely pass on this one.
46 Zone says
Maybe they will make 30th/POC/50th style Duke without Tatum Channing's head. Make a new ARAH style head sculpt for Duke. If we get a TF Duke in this way, then we can get a reg Duke this way.
Bub says
We can probably guess some of the Joes and vehicles...but what about the Cobras? Seems like there has been multiple troop builders the past couple of years. At east two troops....any guesses?
I think we will see some Laser Vipers
ozzie92 says
Noooooooooooooo! :(
I'm attending , and was so hoping for a Springfield related set: Billy, etc. well...still maybe Serpentor and Bludd...?
Outbackman says
i always liked tiger force as a little boy, but idk if it fits into my modern collection. really depends on the molds they use. wouldnt mind a tiger force vamp and snowcat, but lets remember those last club tiger force figures are horrible!!
Yojoe77 says
I'm excited!!!! A water mocasin repaint, quad repaint... already have my rattler repaint, and my tf duke and flint. I don't need an updated tf duke. I need the arah repaint listed above. I agree about the laser viper, though. I think we'll see them. Unless it's tf vs cobra la
Trigue says
A tad disappointed that it isn't Sgt Savage, but hey if it really is Tiger Force then I'm okay with that. Like YoJoe77 said, finally getting all the repaints we should of had years ago will be great.
More so if they also update Flint and Duke for the set. And just think of the vehicle repaints! It'll be a good con set I think!
zbs says
I'm happy with tiger force. I hope they give us Lifleline, Bazooka, and Blizzard. Please give us Tiger force Blizzard. Oh yeah and I would also like to see tiger force Eagle Hawk please LOL
