Night Landing Set
- Thread starter Monkeywrench
- Start date
I'm saying "No". WM's in my area have already pulled the Joes off the shelf that they brought back last month. A sad time for Joe fans.
I would love for this thing to come out, but the odds of me seeing this in person, or at a normal retail price, aren't good.
KT is probably going to stay the hell away from this thread.

Theoretically I should have, but there is a superior boat (no, I can't help you with a diver figure) sitting at Big Lots at this moment and I can't resist the chance to dick slap Hasbro fanboys for their stupidly placed loyalty.
IF it comes out all, it will at best be at closeout retailers. I'm starting to think Hasbro is worse than Mattel when it comes to lame ideas. Anyone NOT have those fucking motorcycles stinking up the pegs? Anyone? Anyone at all?

It's situations like this that makes one wonder WHY Toy company suits have the gall to ask why their merch isn't selling. It's cause you release shit that don't sell and hold back the stuff that will you medieval dickweeds.
Yup. W.1 fucked the entire line. Thanks, Paramount, for your inability to A: get the final designs to Hasbro in a timely manner, and B: that wonderful 9 month delay.
Hasbro, you are not blameless. Reduced articulation on the single-carded figures, 5 PoA on the vehicle drivers, and those fucking motorcycles should have never been cleared. You ought to be buying back that wave one shit, too. I swear, it's like a compulsion with you, loading the back-half of a line with great product, knowing full well the line will have long stalled at retail.

Considering the boats you can usually find at Big Lots, I could care less about this one. Odds are BL stuff will be cheaper and you will get more bang for your buck. Nostalgia only goes so far with me and I rather something that has a bit more function. Plus, you can get twice the boat most likely for less than what the Night Landing will be. Hell, with BL stuff coming out once a year it is almost better stocked than GI Joe.
I could give two dicks for the actual boat, I just want the figure. Seems like I'll just have to grab some ultimate SE figures and make a team.
Just read a post elsewhere with this response from Hasbro customer service:
How those clueless cumbubbles can set out prototypes and put up signs and give out dates at Conventions 3 times in a row, and then something magically disappears after they've sworn up and down things like "Oh yes, half will have the Cobra sigil, half won't... It was a production change", blows my mind. It can't be that easy to fuck up that often. If something "was" a production change, then it had to have been produced.
If you can't get a retail buyer, slap that shit up in your own goddamn online store. HTS would sell out in hours, especially something as golden as the Night Landing.
Personally, I couldn't give two half shits about the boat, but like others I'd have bought several for the figure alone. You never go full retard Hasbro.
Big Lots had the PTE version of the NLC.
And 3 divers, too.
Bahahaha. Ass.
I might just take the initiative and grab a few SE's and just make my own. The diving gear that comes with the PTE stuff isn't that bad either.
Meh, those figures look like reject practice dummies... I either give away or throw away those shitty figures. I'd rather have an absurdly undersized boat with one excellent figure than a great boat with 3 retards.
It was good of you to stop sucking Hasbro's dick long enough to comment, Thank you!
No one said anything about using the figures, they said the accessories, which will do fine with the 95% Ultimate SE buck that is the proposed Torpedo/Eel.
Uh okay Aunt Crabby Panties, you're the one who mentioned 3 figures like it was a fucking selling point.

We can all agree, PTE offers much better vehicles, especially when you factor in the price. But the figures blow ass.
Ok?
Ok?
Hasbro is honestly pitiful. They promised all this shit, saying how much it'll be available. Now look at it.
