Upcoming Dates To Remember!

Just a head’s up for everyone because there are a lot of things coming up in the next few days:

  • Sunday November 1st: Daylight Savings Time ends, so remember to set your clocks back one hour before you go to bed Saturday night.  It’s also a good time to change out the batteries in your smoke alarms.
  • Sunday is the deadline to have your questions submitted for the next round of “Ask Hasbro”.
  • Sunday is also the day the TRU Toy Book comes out with some Joe goodness on sale.
  • Monday will be the submission day for the above mentioned questions.
  • Tueday—now what is it that is supposed to happen on Tuesday……………?  Oh wait isn’t there supposed to be some new DVDs coming out that day like maybe Resolute and Rise of Cobra?

Wave 3 Alpha Vehicles On Hold

JBL member Bacasino broke the news here yesterday that he received an e-mail from the G.I. Joe Collectors’ Club stating the Alpha Wave 3 vehicles were cancelled.  I called the club and they confirmed this was the case.  I asked if they were cancelled or merely postponed, but couldn’t get any further confirmation.  I also asked if there was anything else on the chopping block, and was told that this was the only thing for now.

 There are a lot of fans weighing in on this topic, and some burning questions such as was it the price?  Did they over-produce?  Or maybe it’s the uninspired repaints that are coming with the some of the less-popular vehicles.  Whatever the case, I have to think we’ll see some of these down the road, since the money’s already been spent on the tooling.  Jump in and leave your thoughts here.
