G.I.Joe Question & Answers With Hasbro Round 4


The Wire

Recommended Posts

So, 5 PoP stickers from comic packs for a Doc, huh? Doesn't the first wave of comic packs only have 3 different sets?

 

 

Sooo, this Doc figure they are talking about...is it the male or the female?

 

I'm still hoping I don't have to fork out a million bucks to get the female Doc in that giant con pack.

It's the male Doc. He was shown at the hasbro round table.

Honestly...why Doc? I'm sorry but I don't understand why a lot of Joefans seem to be so infatuated with the figure (perhaps the character too?).

 

What is it about him?

 

Dunno. He 'won' the poll - so thats the 'why he is the mail-away'. But why was he chosen by the fans? Dunno. I also don't quite remember what the choices were. I like Doc. I want a figure. But they are many, many, many others I would prefer. Hell, I wish the mail-away figure was originally a mail-away ala Starduster, Steel Brigade, etc.. But I'll take what I can get.

Really? 5 PoPs from 3 2-packs? I guess I'll be buying multiple Hawks afterall.

What about those of us who do not want the comic packs? Most of them are just repaints anyway. @grumpy@

Maybe I will send them all of my 80 VvV battle points & hope they send me one Doc.

Well there's also the fact the other poll choices were craptastic.

I'm sure the comic packs will have like 2 or 3 points apiece so it isn't like your going to have to buy 5 packs.

Probably repaints, yeah. But think about this, they said they "confired" a Dreadnok pack. Which molds that we currently have would work for Dreadnoks? If they don't "resemble" the Dreadnoks well enough, that will be one of the worst selling packs ever and a LOT of people will be pissed.

I'm happy about the Doc figure, I voted for him. I just don't look forward to buying multiples of the comic packs to get one. It would be nice if Hasbro honored all the VvV and JvC PoPs.

Yeah, but we have to believe Hasbro wouldn't be stupid enough to do something like that....don't we? :unsure:

I'm sure the comic packs will have like 2 or 3 points apiece so it isn't like your going to have to buy 5 packs.

 

Well they didn't say "Battle Points". Proof of Purchase is usually just the barcode on the package. A POP doesn't have a vaule (points) system, so in this case I think it means you have to buy 5 of em to get 5 POP's. The offer to send off for Doc is good till 8/31 though so if you don't want to buy doubles of wave 1 then you should be able to wait till wave 2 comes out without any problem.

You know that the Dreadnoks have already been shown right????

and if you read the Q&A closely you may find another hint to what we might get for another comic pack.

Obviously I didn't know! @loll@ @smilepunch@

 

Thanks for the link.

 

That sucks they 5-packs will be released "as is", but oh well. Seems like a waste of a wave when most people already picked them up in the 5-packs.

 

But this:

 

TNI: Can you tell us more about the rank building evolution type sets to be released at TRU stores (as announced at this year's Con)? How many figures will be released in each set, what figures will be in the initial sets, and will these be new figures or just re-released ones?

 

What is it?

Thanks for the link.

 

NP. also Hasbro said at the con that any Comic Pack figures that had not been previously released would be done in correct classic colors and not the comic book type colors that the already released figures are being done in.

Well we don't know for sure. Hasbro at the con described them to being like the Star Wars evolution sets but dealing with evolution of rank. So we could have a set with a Cobra Trooper, Cobra Officer and I guess Crimson Guard or maybe a Cobra Viper or with Joe maybe have a set with Flint, Duke, Hawk or something of the like. Basically having figures that represent low rank to figures that represent high rank.

From what I'm reading, the POP will be just like the Star Wars one, you'd get a sticker inside the packa nd you have to collect 5 of them and send them in.. I'm sure, like the Star Wars.. if you bought 5 Hawk packs, you can send them all in and be set.. or you can wait and get one of each and then ewait for wave 2 and get a couple..

They changed this for SW when people were buying up all the scout troopers and people were having a hard time finding all 5 figures to send away for their Lucas Trooper, later, they changed it.. so with that, and with this sounds like, I'm guessing they'll do the same..

 

Kinda sad to hear about the single packs being the same thing.. guess I'll just go get the 5-packs and get that cool stand my son loves playing with everytime we go to Target, lol

I agree with Joe, if they say its POP's from the Comic packs, then they will have a special POP

for that specific target. Its away to help sell comic packs.. which works for me, means we will get more

the more they sell!

 

even if i plan not opening the comic pack, ill either sell off the figures, or just use a exatco to cut out the Pop

and leave it carded.

5 PoP from comic-packs is kind of a lot to get man. I wish it was 5 PoP from the single carded figures, or... dare I say it, FLAG POINTS!!!!!

 

didn't they say that they were going to find a use for our Flag Points?

 

 

anyways... with the system they used for Starwars, a lot of people were stealing the PoP certificates and using them... either by taking them from the figures in the store, or buying them and taking the PoP out and returning them. It would be better if they used the barcodes than cerificates.
