As you know, Hasbro Canada will be once again attending the CJC this year.
They want to know if you have any questions for them! Submit your questions here, we will send them off to Hasbro and they will answer as many as they can during their presentation at the show!

Great, thanks for doing this! Here are my questions (which probably echo the sentiments of alot of us):
When will the Wave of “Dollar ” GI Joe figures (available at Dollar General stores in the US) be available in Canada and at what stores?
Will we see any waves of figures available in Canada before Christmas? Specifically any more 30th anniversary waves / figures (Sci-Fi, Renegades Storm Shadow, Lifeline, etc).
With TARGET about to open in Canada in 2013 can we expect better GI JOE selection on their shelves?
GI JOE always seems to be the least restocked Hasbro Action Figure line (when compared to Star Wars, Marvel & Transformers) at Toys R US, Wal-Mart and Zellers. Why is this and what can we as fans/collectors do to help GI JOE be more available at retail in Canada?

will they fix the articulation on all the movie toys now that they have almost a yr to do so. also will they release some of the 30anny figs we saw at the con.

Great set questions so far.
My first was similar to one previously asked: Will we see any new product for the remainder of 2012?
Second: Will there be any SDCC exclusives brought to CJC?

Mike - you and I talked about this once, but you wanted to cover Hasbro's role in the CJC sets WITH THEM...e.g. the 'ole "is it approved, authorized, official, etc." questions that you routinely get.

These are fantastic and cover the question I was going to ask.
-
-Can we expect some 7 packs of the most wanted figures from the JoeCon Concept Case Survey running at generalsjoes.com?
-Is the futur waves of figures will have the same articulations you did with POC line?
-Something special or unexpected for the Gijoe 30th anniversary?
-Will we get a Flagg?? ...Just kidding!
-
My question would be, Is there any chance Hasbro will be releasing any further 82-89 characters on the original 80s card art or are those figures relegated to the fan clubs at this point? These figures seem to be still very much in demand.
-
Fan Expo has grown so large it now runs 4 days in Toronto. What would it take to have Fan Expo get product similar to the Hasbro toys sold every year at SDCC? Can we expect anything unique from the Hasbro booth this year?

Seconded.

Great question!

will they fix the articulation on all the movie toys now that they have almost a yr to do so. also will they release some of the 30anny figs we saw at the con.
I can already tell you no to articulation on this one Sean. On Pt 2 Hasbro will be holding some kind of vote on the unreleased concepts but it is unclear when it will be or how binding it will be. A good question for Canadians is if they will be eligible to vote online when it is held.

GeneralsJoes.com is the one doing the vote on the concept case. I am unaware of any "official" vote Hasbro would have. Hasbro DID say that they would heavily factor in fan feedback on what, if anything, was released from the concept case.

Just a note to everyone that they have 1 more week to submit their questions. Questions will be sent to Hasbro at 8am Monday morning, the 23rd.
-
Only a few more days!
-
I know they will not answer this but I have to ask.....
Does it Drive you Crazy that Zellers holds stock in their warehouse for months and they only put it out after Winners puts out the same stock at half the price? I would gladly buy GI Joe at Zellers but how long can we wait? Twice Zellers had stock of vehicles we wanted to buy, but they held it until Winners put them out at half the price.

1- Will we get a Canadian exclusive like we got in the past (80's) with the Black Mobat and the MSV set (Black VAMP + Black Heetseek).... since these exist in the 25th line it would be easy to do.
2- Is it true the 2013 exclusive (US Joe con) can be in o-ring?
