"Just in from UK Toy Fair 2012 comes word that there will be no GI Joe toys for the UK this summer. HISS Tank boards member DarkHorse was in attendance and brought us the bad news today. Support for GI Joe internationally has dwindled ever since the Rise Of Cobra line underperformed at overseas retail". http://www.hisstank.com/gi-joe-news...s-summer-11010/ __________________ My collection: http://www.joedios.com/dioramas/bro...r&imageuser=444

It's just as much Hasbro's fault for green lighting that travesty.

Those figures made it back here to the U.S. in Tuesday Morning discount stores.
