GI Joe 2011 Q&A Round 1 Answers
1. What is the status of the POC Alpha Wave 3 vehicles?
• HISS Attack Scout w/Cobra Hiss Driver
• GI JOE Transformable Cycle Armor w/Ashiko
3) I know that this was submitted before the JoeCon and I answered it there, but to restate – there is no 30 for 30. We are celebrating the best of the last 30 years. We didn’t want to limit our best to just 30 items. Also – 30 for 30 is a registered trademark of ESPN and we would never want to step on their toes.

1) We are currently looking at the possibility of placing these at one of our retailers as an exclusive but we haven't worked out the details yet.
2. At Toy Fair, the prototype figure of the Renegades Snake Eyes had ne warm tooling with swivel+hinge. Can we expect future assortments to include figures with swivel+hinge?
2) Some, but not all, new figures will include this new articulation.
3. If you can't give us the complete list for the "30 for 30", can you at least let us know which items we have seen are for the "30 for 30"?

By the way - loved the March Madness! It is a great idea. We should do it every year!

Hasbro Q&A Session With The G.I.Joe Brand Team - SDCC Exclusive Skystriker Details & More - GI Joe - ToyNewsI.com
SDCC Starscream Skystriker only 49.99!!!!!!!!!
Joecom says
Awesome price! This part made me laugh
Hasbro: The Sky Striker will be sold at $49.99. Most of our SDCC exclusives will be available on HTS the Monday after the close of the convention. However, there will be limited quantities so act fast!
Sgt. Slaughter all over again it will be sold out in 2 mins after it appears on HTS.
Troynos says
At least they specifically said "limited quantities" and "most".
So no one can complain when it's sold out.
There's no gurantee that SDCC Starstriker will make it to HTS or in sufficient quantities to match the demand and Hasbro has in effect said that.
Jmacq1 says
Slaughter didn't even last 2 minutes. He literally lasted all of 3 seconds. Mainly because there really wasn't any leftover stock to begin with.
I suspect Hasbro will up the production of their Joe-based SDCC exclusives this year and/or will "hold aside" some stock specifically for HTS. Slaughter was unfortunate, but was also probably partially based on how slowly the SDCC Exclusive Destro 2-pack (which despite being a RoC product was pretty freaking awesome) had sold the year previously. They had that thing for months after the con. Same with the 12" Baroness...so the "higher ups" probably figured Joe exclusives weren't as popular and made less of them accordingly.

It'd be nice if HTS could pull a "Mattycollector" and just let people know when and where everything will pop up, but that doesn't seem to be their style.
