Yeah I don’t get those either. I was bored with plastic army men 30+ years ago as a kid.

It has been so long since anything new has shown up in stores, most have completely given up and stopped looking. Consider this as well- what is driving interest in Star Wars right now? The Clone Wars last episode was shown on TV in May 2013. The Rebels show won’t be on until October 2014 and the toys won’t show up until December/ January. You can’t use the holidays as a gauge because anything and everything sells during that time because all parents are at the toy store.

Yeah. Somehow they’ve convinced retailers that these aren’t army men spread out in blister packaging instead of bunched a bucket.

I think all Hasbro cares about with the Command line is to get retailers to order big for the launch – Hasbro gets their payday, retailers take a bath in it.

In related news, everybody’s favorite Hasbro Toy Shop has just posted clearance prices on a bunch of Star Wars Angry Birds and Telepods items. When will they learn?

All of this could move before then, but still it could mean nothing would be for sale that collectors want to buy

I’m going to mock up something soon for a way for another company to maybe bring out some playsets… I think it would be a major hit…
