I'll work on it boss. 
I am a good bullshit artist so I'm hoping my skills will come in handy on this one.

GI Joe Q&A
- Thread starter MAJOR BLOOD
- Start date
make sure if the "head" question gets asked that you say "besides the upcoming CC, SS, Sci-Fi" or they'll just give those examples...
i guess really, anyway you word it, the most likely answer will/would be simply "yes!"

Yeah, add in a "can you give us any hints or sneak intel?" type disclaimer with that.

i went with 5, 2 and 8
the HTS question, like you said MR will prolly be a waste...but i also see the answer to the Rex question being "yes" in some form or another...either it'll be that short or something like, "yes, you will see something more like this in the future"...any further info like which characters is a pipe dream as we'll be lucky to not see half of what we are already expecting canceled
way to think it thru...
really, there are no good questions...wait, let me correct that...there is almost always no good ANSWERS...we can come up with the most bada$$ questions ever and end up with a "no" or "not planned, we'll look into it" or "stay tuned!" "have you seen the great stuff in the movie line?!"
its fun to come up with them, but so discouraging and frustrating come answer time

Seriously! We need to go to some other sites and steal ideas!
Well they have answered the suit question in the past. May be another throw away. In the recent Q&A there was a question on allspark that asked the ROSS question. Pretty interesting. They said "a ROSS buyer must really like GI Joe"
I was hoping my Renegades question would have been picked. You know that no other joe sites will have the balls to ask it the way I did.
Yea but other places will have Renegades questions. Doesn't matter how you ask it they will still say "It's on hiatus"
but i wasn't asking if it was on "hiatus". I was asking if they realized that there a bunch of fucking dipshits
Some of the current Q&A replies that interested me are ones like this (from Parry Game Preserve):
Preserve: Does the team keep vintage figures and vehicles around the office, or do they prefer to be inspired by the new media of Renegades and the movie(s) to keep the ideas fresh, only dipping into the past for special projects?
Hasbro: Great question. Actually, it's a careful balance of both, at least for the design of the 30th anniversary. We do have a reserve of old vehicles as well as some recent releases. Oftentimes an old vehicle is "hacked up" to create a new vehicle. It is a strangely satisfying feeling to send a small plastic tank through the bandsaw, knowing that it's demise will lead to a new and possibly more awesome new vehicle.
They're ones that nobody else is going to ask. It also looks like they got decent feedback, too. Not saying this is exactly what we should submit, but it's a gauge of the replies that they can give.

Gah, $49.99 for the SDCC Skystriker? That's a pretty big jump from the reported retail of the regular version.
I love this one:
1)The Zarrana figures shown at Toy Fair are simply amazing, but why is it figures we have been requesting for years are only showing up as SDCC exclusives,will there be an increased production so there will be more to go around? Any update on TheSgt. Slaughter figure that we are supposed to be getting this fall?
A) Only showing up as exclusives? What about Lifeline? What about Sci-Fi? What about Kwinn? There are in fact some characters that we reserve for exclusives but we have been working very hard to get as many requested figures out into mainline. Keep your eyes open for great figures this Fall! Unfortunately, due to contract issues, Sarge will not be one of them.
Way to have some balls in the response.

im happy i got one of my ? to be asked number 5 was mine. it will be nice to get a answer from them on that one. also when will we get the answers for these?
man i can tell you from my tour of hasbro last yr that they do have the new and old stuff on there desks .
I'm still waiting on them too. I'll e mail them tomorrow but I think the holiday weekend may have messed things up. They said we got in this round so hopefully they didn't jive me. Fockers!
What are we going to do? Burn bras?
I don't see any up on other places yet so I'm wondering if they might be behind. Not sure how the other sites do it if they put them up right away or not.
Well I did get confirmation that things were delayed. They forgot to add me to the roster to notify about that but now we are on it. So go back to eating, at least until we see what the answers are.....
how would you feel chasing Scarlett around to constantly be overlooked for a horrifically deformed mute?
