My College Field Trip Tommorow...

[n8dawgaic]

I'm shocked! Apparently I skipped the class when it was first announced but I actually showed today and the Professor is like now let's not forget to be on our best behavior at Hasbro tommorow.

 

Any gripes you guys would like me to bring up?...er, wait, nevermind @firedevil@

[Ccav]

dude, two words!

 

TERROR DROME!

 

@smilepunch@

[SKARAPZ]

pimp this site out to them to come check, and answer all of our questions lol

[Ccav]

what he said^

[teruo313]

bring a jacket with lots of pockets and your largest bag and take your own "personal tour" of the place. You never know what might be lying around. @firedevil@

[Doc Evil]

PAINTED DETAILING: Theyre saving loads of money repainting molds already. They least they could do for us is provide competent detailing on drivers and re-issues.

 

Bring one of the RAH Vipers as an example. Be sure to point out the pants and gloves

 

FIGURE STANDS: Should be available with each and every figure.

 

WEAPONS FOR DRIVERS: Even if its only weapons that already exist

^ That and tell the that Action Attack & T-crotches suck, and if they don't stop we will boycott Hasbro all together. @grumpy@

 

Oh yeah, and have a nice time on your fieldtrip.

[Behold, Galvatron!]

Tell them we want some more DD designs like Storm Shadow, Xamot and Tomax, Cobra Commander (with two heads: hooded and helmeted and can be switched) and Serpentor

[Ccav]

here print my list out and give them this letter:

 

Dear Hasbro,

 

I have been playing with the 3 3/4 G.I.Joes since I can rememeber

I remember watching the TV show..because almost all the stuff on TV

I could find at the store..and could tell my Parents to get one.

Now I am a Collector and enjoy the fandom, but with thier being no Cartoon to bring more buisness in..I am wondering why you do not

sculpt these figures more like the comic series by Image.

 

Which is the only true way of knowing what is going on in the

Joe universe..I only offer my wishes to salvage the line to be more profitable..so it does not end like its first coming.

 

I can only give you some minor "thinking Ideas" for your creative design team.

 

1: Serpentor

2: SAW Viper

3: Cover Girl

4: Skystriker

5: Destro ( the way he is supposed to look)

6: no more Attack chopper molds

7: bigger Cobra vehicals ( Patriot Grizzly CAT III)

 

just a couple things that would grab more attention,

more people will notice original character names from when they were

kids. Please no more Action Attack or T-crotches...they take away what G.I.Joe origially gave us. The New articulation ( ankle,rists) are great.

colors need to be more original...kepp military with military...and space toys with space toys.

 

sincerly

You honestly think that they are going to have college kids talk about GI Joe???? What class is this for anyway???

[Violentfix]

I could see anyone going to school for Toy design going on a trip like that. I wish I was going. It sounds like a lot of fun.

[n8dawgaic]

Oh no, the professor wont *let* me sneak around I am sure but I am going to get conveniently lost and see what i can find/meet!!

[Forcehunter]

If they have the Cobra pack there, steal a few for me.

[custo]

Give them a list of the forum sites so they can stop by and see us.

[Behold, Galvatron!]

they do it for the TF ones, I'm suprised they don't do it for GI Joe

[Marvel_Joe_Spider]

I'm with the guys on the Terrordrome and RAH re-issues but I doubt you will be able to talk to them about this

[Tazzzman]

I hope most of you guys are going to the convention next year, there you can express all of your concerns (last year they had a round table and a lof of comments came out) they really appriciate it.

......And from what we're seeing thats coming in the future it looks like they really listened @grumpy@ ..........I'm sure everyone there was asking for Ninja Force to make a return........ @firedevil@

[Doc Evil]

Id like to see Ninja Force CHARACTERS come back.

 

 

Give them a list of the forum sites so they can stop by and see us.

 

Ehhhh... Maybe not a good idea, we want them to think FONDLY of the fans. They might not be too receptive to us if they see the slamming we regularly give them.

[n8dawgaic]

Don't get me wrong guys, I'm not promising nor prediciting I will be able to do anything, originally I said the gripes thing as a joke just because I know many of you have so many. I will try to speak to someone, anyone, just for the sake of doing so. I doubt I will be able to however I just wanted to share my excitement with you guys about going!

[Lucavi13]

write a list down of all the complaints ...somewhere in the field trip ..there will be a top executive that will discuss about hasbro... when he says "any questions?" thats your cue

 

and if you get to talk to him afterwards tell him to add repeater cover girl and hit n run in the next few waves

Well thats a great idea but I don't think he would want to be embarresed about talking about G. I. Joe in front of his peers who probably don't care. I would wait till after whatever meeting you have with whoever speaks and come up to him after and either tell him our complaints/request or give him a list

And then he'll throw them in the trash. C'mon now. He's at the top of the food chain, he won't give two sh%s about it. Try to find someone from the Joe department or sales and have them look at it. Their passing it on will have more weight...if any

Or you could just print up a bunch of copy of the list of complaints and put them every where you go on the tour, on desks, tables, all over the place & anywhere else that you can think of.

[firestongue]

Yeah emphasize that they need to come by and check out the boards more.

 

Suggest that they make more creative backpacks and weapons like back in the day--the ones now are getting repetitive.

 

Thank them for the army builder packs and suggest MORE.

 

I know it might be kind of awkward to talk about all this in front of college folks, but

 

a) maybe you can buddy up with an employee there and find a direct connection that you can contact later,

 

and

 

chics dig guys talking to big corporations about toys! Surely the hot babies in your class will cream when they see your interest

 

 

Be sure to tell them that their distribution RULES and thank them for not following MOTU's lead!

 

What class is this you are going with anyway?

 

Have fun and I hope we get a good report from it!
