Yeaaahhhhh....if the biggest outstanding issue in your life is a plastic cocktail bar, then you need to go out and get laid. And to answer your question, the bar in question is IN THE MOVIES and we only deal with comic books and EU stuff now, so no.



No question here. Just a hearty FUCK YOU to everyone who works for Hasbro. Suck on it. 72.

We know you don't collect Star Wars anymore, but we'll be more than happy to butcher the Marvel line just to tick you off.

Is Gothiczartan some sort plant you guys sent out through the web to get the fanboys all riled up?

Uhhhh...who? :wink:






It seems you guys are a big fan of crossing your properties to come up with new Toylines E.G. Star Wars Transformers, etc. Which two properties does it seem most likely will get this treatment next? Star Wars/G.I.Joe? Marvel/Transformers? What do you think? 56.

Thanks for asking! We're actually planning a new cross-brand strategy for next year. Simply put, every original new figure from any line will come with an army-builder from another line! And it'll only be twice normal retail for these masterpieces, which will all be store exclusives. (The stores just love their exclusives, and we know you do, too!)

We've also been listening to you fans, and hope to satisfy your wants! Here are some of the many figures we plan to release next year:

Yarna d'al Gargan with Masterpiece-Scale Seeker Jet (KB exclusive, retail $150)
Forge with Unleashed Shocktrooper (Wal-Mart exclusive, retail $35)
SA Qui-Gon Jinn with 25th Anniversary Stinger Jeep and Driver (Target exclusive, retail $50)

And you'll especially love our Toys R Us exclusives! An entire wave of Clonetroopers in our many beloved "exclusive" color schemes: black, metallic silver, clear white, clear blue, and "pimp daddy" leopard print, each packed with an exclusive Cybertron MiniCon re-re-re-release. Each will retail for the low (for TRU) price of $30, and include a part of the most highly anticipated Build-A-Figure of all: Uatu the Watcher!


Exclusive free Transformers figure with the purchase of a fucking car? Are you mad?

What? What's the big deal? Sure, you pay almost $13,000 for the car, but you get the figure (suggested retail $9.99) for free!! This is our best idea since Galactic Choppers!

So now that you'll be making assloads of money from the bastardization "G.I. Joe" movie, will that finally make you stop procrastinating and give us a Yarna? Or an AT-TE?

Hell no. We just plan on stringing you guys along until the line ends.


Have you guys figured out what you're doing with that Star Wars Legends Fan's choic poll yet? Or are you too busy trying to figure out a way to eliminate Ephant Mon?

Oh, Ephant Mon is already eliminated. You just don't know it yet. We created a new rule: No figures with knives in their pimp canes, as they're bad influences.

Hasbro, why can you not, as a whole, come to the relatively simple realization that we pay your salaries, and we want essentially the same things that kids want, and just actually listen to us for a change?

We know that both you and kids want Clone Troopers, and lots of them. Look for solid cases of the ROTS Trooper in a few weeks, since we know that figure is already selling like hotcakes!

Will you release a retooled Dutch Vander just to shut Gothiczartan the fuck up?
Shit. I can't think of a good signature.

Did you base the female Mandaloreans (in this stupid Entertainment Earth set) upon real-world women in the hopes that they'll be impressed and sleep with you schlubs?

No, we totally based them off of your mom, whom we totally fucked last night! Aww yeah!!!



Actually, your answer was correct. :oops:


Speaking of the Mandalorian sets, why are half the figures the same?
Shit. I can't think of a good signature.

So they only cost us .13 cents a figure.



Why bother anymore?

Your hatred fuels us. Your hatred keeps us going. (Much like the Sith in that respect).




Nova Prime from the IDW comic Spotlight: Optimus Prime looks like a cool design. Any chance of him being made? Any chance of him NOT being an impossible to find exclusive, you assholes?

We are making him, but he's only available through your local Chevrolet dealership. And you have to buy a Chevy Aveo in order to get him.

Which one of you fuckers has a raging hard on for the Revenge of the Sith clones?

Darryl dePriest. He'll show it to you if you ask nicely.

Once again, since you're doing Marvel Legends, and you own the Transformers, any chance for a Circuit Breaker figure?

Excited that you should ask! We've reached an exclusive agreement with a realtor in midtown Manhattan. If you lease a Park Avenue condo for $180,000 a month, you'll get a limited edition Circuit Breaker Legend FREE!!! She's limited to 14 pieces, so act now!!




Disney Star Wars? Really? How gay are you guys? I mean, Darth Goofy? WTF?
