Actually man, I not sensing a lot of love for the meet this year. Is anyone actually interested in going?
If we don't see a lot more love on these here pages, I wouldn't be surprised if mike calls it off...

Well that would just plain old suck. I don't know how were suppose to show more love for the topic. Right now there isn't a lot of G.I.Joe talk going on in this message board as is, so should Mike stop selling them at his store? I hope not.
I think the problem is the product itself is a little stagnant. Without a lot of new product coming out and only on line, there isn't much fun in the "thrill of the hunt". Sure I heard the rumor that Toys R Us (U.S.A.) are starting to carry the DTC line, but will we get looked over again?
Then there is all the delays from the MC group. They only just announced the location for the Con, New Orleans and that is after so many people has said it was a good idea not to have it there after they announced it was going to be there at first but due to the hurricane they had to cancel that location. I think that was a bad move of their part. Plus I haven't heard anything about this years free figure for members and the 2 figure packs they keep talking about are taking forever for us to a) see test shots of, b)place an order for them.
Personally I think all these negatives are really starting to hurt Joe, so we need something positive to keep our own interest in the line alive. That's why our own Joe Canuck meeting is important. Sure it's small and under a bowling alley in a hall the is possibly haunted, but at least it is something we can look forward to. It just feels to me like G.I.Joe is teetering and could go either way but with the 25th anniversary of ARAH approaching I hope it can at least make it to that milestone before Hasbro packs it up for who knows how long.
