It makes no difference. The figures cost less than a dollar to make, so it's all the same to us.

I thought the goal of Saga Legends was that it would be shipping alongside the main line, but wave 3 hit months ago and all I've seen since then is more and more Legends and no sign of wave 4. Um, what the fuck?

Bravo, Senor, we're impressed you can talk so clearly with your mouth full. The Legends line is just to keep you spending money on figures it takes no effort or money for us to produce - it serves no one any other purpose. Thanks for your interest in this, our favorite line! Wave 4 will be along as soon as you have no spending money on hand so that you can run up your VISA or Mastercard balance.

Has there been a fuck up this year with the distribution, or did you plan on having only 3 waves (2 in Canada) available as late as August of this year?

Wait, you're saying you've got two full waves in Canada instead of just the Vader coin album?

Barbara, get me Ralph up in Toronto NOW. Heads are going to roll!

Hasbro, I was really impressed with the 25th Anniversary Joes. Well, until I started opening them. The construction is shoddy, and the plastic may be the worst you've ever used. Snake Eyes' hand broke off immediately after I opened him. And the Cobra Officer has an empty knife sheath on his leg, but no knife to go in it.

What will you be doing to address problems like these in future waves?

Oh shit. We just gave away a pertinent plot point in the upcoming World War III story in Devil's Due's GI Joe comic. At some point Snake-Eyes loses a hand and Cobra Commander misplaces his knife. Hope we didn't ruin the book for you.

Parker Bros used to make the ROM toy back in the 70's. And they licensed Marvel to make a ROM: Spaceknight comic. Then Kenner bought PB, Tonka bought Kenner, and Hasbro bought Tonka. Then Hasbro got the rights to do Marvel figures. So can we have a Rom: SpaceKnight Marvel Legend?[/i]

We tried making CD-ROM figures back in 1998 but realized they were gay. Just like you, faggot.

Are you guys actually going to rerelease whichever figures win the current Legends voting? I have a hard time believing you'd actually sell Jorg Sacul in stores.

Eternal Padawan · Post by **Eternal Padawan** » Sat Aug 11, 2007 8:49 am

Well, we'll swap out the head and slightly change his name to Biggs, but basically the same figure...

Mattel AND MarvelToys now both make better super-hero toys than you. Any rebuttal?

anarky · Post by **anarky** » Sat Aug 11, 2007 10:51 am

Mattel? Ha ha! At least ours aren't exclusive to Big Lots!

I'm about to lose interest altogether. What are you planning to "wow" me?

Senor JabbaJohnL · Post by **Senor JabbaJohnL** » Sat Aug 11, 2007 4:11 pm

We let you pick which old figures you want to see re-released, we made expanded universe figures, and we made a Hermi Odle. God damn it, isn't that enough?

Are you guys gonna ship the final 39 figures from the 30th Anniversary Collection in 2007, or are there gonna be a shitload of 2008 figures with "77-07" printed on them?

Eternal Padawan · Post by **Eternal Padawan** » Thu Aug 16, 2007 10:10 am

Urhhmmmm......none of our toys have lead paint on them! Next question!

Whose fucking dumbass idea was it to put the Army Builder Cobra Soldier in the five pack? Do you really expect people to buy multiple box sets and have umpteen Destros, Baroness, Stormshadows and Cobra Commanders laying around in piles so they can have a decent army setup? Why are you guys douches?

Why not? It worked with Darth Vader and Episode 3 Obi-Wan in the Star Wars line.

How many more figures from the Fan's Choice poll that you plan on blocking?

Eternal Padawan · Post by **Eternal Padawan** » Fri Aug 17, 2007 1:59 am

We've already decided the rerelease another Vader, another Jango Fett, another R2-D2, and another Clone Trooper. All this "Fan Poll" bullshit is just to get you dumb fucks jump through hoops. Apparently, ONE of you bad-mouthed us on the interweb years ago and we've been taking it out on ALL of you ever since.

6" Star Wars Legends? Maybe?

anarky · Post by **anarky** » Fri Aug 17, 2007 2:06 am

We did that. We called them "Force Battlers." You told us with your wallets that you liked them. So we did what was logical, and re-released cool repaints, like Samurai Obi-Wan and Vader with Jetpack. For some reason, you seem to have all lost interest. Fuck all you hoes!

Why did you say the new poll was without any exclusions, and figures from 2007 were ineligible, then, after a few weeks of preliminary voting, suddenly say Jorg Sacul was ineligible and the Neyo, for some reason, was?

Senor JabbaJohnL · Post by **Senor JabbaJohnL** » Fri Aug 17, 2007 11:25 pm

Just to mess with you. But we're sure you're going to love all the repacks of stupid fucking figures that everyone already has. More proof that democracy works just fine!

Hasbro, why don't you just fucking re-release Sio Bibble? I don't want to pay $25 for him at a comic shop.

Eternal Padawan · Post by **Eternal Padawan** » Thu Aug 23, 2007 9:14 pm

Sadly, as stipulated in his contract with Lucasfilm, the actor playing Sio Bibble is entitled to 180% of any profits from figures based on his likeness or character after the initial offering. It would cost us money to sell him to you. There is simply no way around those figures. We can't even pass the overages onto the consumer, (and believe me, we thought of every concievable way to screw you guys in this whole thing) but nothing was feasible. Plus, he's not a CloneTrooper dumbass, so why would me make more?

Why are there STILL characters from the movies you haven't made? The fucking line started 12 years ago! That's more time than it took them to do the first trilogy! Or the second trilogy! Don't you think you could finish off the movie characters before delving into any more EU bullshit?

HA HA, JOKES ON YOU! I DON'T EVEN BUY STAR WARS ANYMORE! FUCKERS! 88.

Senor JabbaJohnL · Post by **Senor JabbaJohnL** » Fri Aug 24, 2007 5:20 pm

Sorry, could you repeat the question? We were too busy figuring out which retarded obscure characters we're gonna put in the next wave of Comic Packs. But it won't be Jaxxon or Teek. FUCK YOU!!!

Are you going to do something about the incorrect space between the sides of the cantina bar, or is it going to look like shit forever?
