and there's no push to get a third movie made.
Oh, really?

I don't know what you guys expect?... There's no toyline due to there being no cartoon or movie to support a line for a major retailer.
Major retailers set the standard for what toys will be bought nowadays. It's obvious. Walk down a toy aisle, and you'll see only currently produced TV/Movie/ etc brands lining the shelves.
In the case of Sideshow - why would they put out a line that most Joe fans don't support, with no tie-in to help promote them?... G.I. Joe isn't Star Wars, and never will be at that iconic level.
If you want to join the lemmings and bitch about how there's no Joe product on the shelves, and dump your collections and say "Screw this line", then why did you even bother to collect it in the first place?... You can enjoy a line of toys, etc without having to buy everything from it. I know people that HAD to have every figure and every variant... never understood the mentality of that. I don't own every Joe figure, or vehicle - and in truth, I trimmed my Joe collection down to what I LIKE from it, and that's it. I own no 25th, no movie figures, and no 12". I enjoy the hell out of G.I. Joe still. I can watch those cartoons and re-read those Marvel comics over and over - and enjoy them.
I don't read the new IDW stuff, and have no urge to do so.
I enjoy the live action movies for what they are - Blow up shit, action flicks. Seriously... Do you REALLY want to see a movie where a sailor is talking to his parrot all the time?
If everyone thinks Joe sucks now, then why not look to yourself to see what made it so enjoyable for you in the first place?
....and if Joe dies?... SO WHAT? Maybe it NEEDS a break.
My Little Pony, Star Wars, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, and even Star Trek were all "DEAD" properties at one time.... how are they doing now, after taking a break?
Joe "died" before, then it got SUPER hot, and that's most likely when you guys all got back into it... it happens.
I'm tired of reading about people whining about it.
