It's because we all had those extra hours to get online while waiting on our significant other to get ready to go out for dinner.
You and me both. Although, The excitement for me has mostly worn off on those since I know I'll never get the Zombies now. Still a few in it I would like to have.
If you want it, it won't be released. if they show something, it may get released depending on if it's popular, then it won't be released. If it's guaranteed to be released, it will be pushed back for several months or a year and then won't get released.
if it's something stupid, it will be rushed to the stores in huge quantities and then poor sales will be blamed on collectors and the cool stuff won't be released.

Need real bad.
I think this one is a no brainer. It will come. They release so many SS and SE that this one will hit a wave some day.
Might as well drop these here then, although some of you have seen them already:

I'm not expecting much in 1/18th scale. Hopefully we get a few surprises like that Lost Planet line.
I'm betting that's the way things are gonna be for any figure that isn't a 5 POA piece of crap with lousy paint apps. We collectors are probably going to have to accept that costs are on the rise unless we want to keep seeing Retaliation Wave 1 quality figures. Not that I like playing Devils Advocate, but I fear the case may be so.
Yeah, curious to see what the production runs will be. Hell, the OurWar Germans are $10 each now and those seem relatively basic, and thats coming straight from China.
If we actually see something new and interesting, I might not have to customize every damn figure I get.
But those odds are small, almost non existent

I find myself wishing more and more G.I. Joe would go the way of the "low-run boutique figures".
Word!
I feel the same way. Right now the only thing in 1:18 that has me even remotely excited are the 4 inch Alien figures we have been reading so much about lately.
Seriously.. the (shitty) club is basically "low-run boutique figures" to a tee.. but they turn out terrible 9/10ths of the time.
You all give me a hard on. The amount of shit we get handled to us is unfathomable. I wish we could get something "reinvented". It's been stated 1000s of times here. But if Hasbro would do a sub line of modern military figures (I mean holy fuck, they have a stock pile of usable parts for just that) with paint detailing somewhere close to BBI, I'd be ALL IN.
Damn pipe dream.
Damn pipe dream.
Hell, if BBI would just re-release their shit I'd be happy.
Someone here (who's reliable..) needs to win the lottery so they can give us our own figure line.

Pretty much the gist of it.
If the standard for decent figures increases to $20 then I think I'll just stop collecting. I have a bunch of stuff as it is and I think there are only two figures in my collection I paid $20 for. In all likely hood I'll miss out on Acid Rain and Lost Planet, which sucks because they look awesome and t would be neat to throw them into the 1/18 fray.
They really need to take more advantage of stores like Dollar General and Family Dollar. A 5-6 dollar line of basic Joes that cut the ninjas and bright colors out would be excellent. Just look at how much people wanted the green "Dukes" and green Ship Wrecks. They release modern versions of the original 13 through these sort of stores. But of course, they won't.
There are a lot of brands and figures that I wish would get re-released. As mediocre the Unimax bravo team figures could be, they were still worth getting. The paint apps on their modern figures were rather spectacular, and I miss being able to buy $20 Sherman tanks.
Probably a little.
But more so towards all the half finished projects we all end up having sitting around waiting for "the right part" or "time" or whatever.
Yeah... but that would mean that the machined parts would be damn near perfect and available, for the slew of workers to assemble them.
How many of us have had the lottery dream?
I'd be putting Obi and a few others on the payroll pretty fast if it happened. Not that I've ever bought a lottery ticket, mind you.

All of us probably.. but if it really happened I'm sure we'd disappear faster than a sex toy at Ewoks house.. everyone would be asking for $$$ and handouts

Eh, as long as we go into it fully knowing this is a short-lived venture to give us some cool plastic toys it'd be alright.
I'd hire Obi, but unfortunately he'd likely feel stifled when I told him he wouldn't be working on any modern tier one badasses.
