    Yes and no, if you read Griffins thread elsewhere.

    They have suggested they will keep Gi Joe around in Australia but in limited quantaties, so don't excpect to see everything.

    Frankly If I see any of the new waves online that are at least 75%+ win then I will order online to be safe.

    Wouldn't surprise me even though Hasbro has said otherwise. I've noticed that the figures/vehicles hardly moved at their regular retail prices but when they dropped under $15 for the figures and $50 for the vehicles, they started to move, moreso at $10 for the figures. I guess that shows that Hasbro Aus. has got to change the pricing structure of the toys here in Aus. As much as I love the Steel Crusher and the Night Raven, there's no way in hell I'd pay over $45 for the SC or over $60 for the NR. And when you consider that there are TFs which are much more harder to engineer for a lesser price, it really shows how much Hasbro has the pricing wrong. eg. Night Raven is $95 rrp, Leader Optimus is $90 rrp. On a separate note, 3 Kmarts in my area have close to no figures left on show since the clearance price was put into effect, no SC or Airships, and only a few of the Alpha vehicles left. Plenty of NR and Pits though.
    If I want your opinion, I'll give it to you

    Totally agree on the pricing structure as Fungal Infection Just said is overpriced. The retail price needs to be reduced, unfortunately this probably won't happen. But I think seriously the price isn't the only thing holding this line back. If only they made a successful computer game, unfortunately It wasn't a hit. It may of generated an enduring interest in the line.

    Strange... I thought Hasbro posted record earnings with the Joe movie line. All just a spin?
