I have a question.. .what will it take to get Chuck to go
to Joe Con? I ask because I could use a few days of
peace and quiet in my house...
-- Barbara K Emanuele
I have been listening to whats on joe mind and really
enjoy it. it reminds me of me and my friends sitting
around talking joe.
I do have a couple questions.
I your opinions (I already know yours Chuck, JK) do
you think that as collectors that we are a reason that
joe has not caught on with kids now days?
Now I am not saying we are the sole reason, but a big
factor.
When we go to the store and buy up most of the
product on the shelves, mostly figures, do we take the
interest away from kids? When they look up at the
pegs and see only two figures for the most part I
believe it wouldn't be that interesting. With our "need"
to troop build do we actually harm the brand for
future joe fans?
I was talking to a friend and he said when he was in
Wal Mart one day.
there was a kid who was going up and down the action
figure isle upset because there was a lone POC Dusty
hanging.
My friend told him it was because collectors like
himself buy them up.
The kid was upset and went off on my friend.
Then my friend told him the best times were to get
there when they bring the pallets out.
The kid said he couldn' t get there at those times and
his mom said they lived a town away and couldn' t get
there much.
I know this is a case of Wal Mart not Stocking enough,
But also it is our fault too because we usually have this
habit of not leaving anything behind.
I am also Guilty of this army building thing.
My Second Question is If Hasbro really wanted to
market to children why wouldn't they have good
commercials on television?
I know it worked for us in the 80's I am proof.
Look at other things like BeyBlade and whatever kids
are into now, They seem to do well with the
commercials.
With the new movie coming out this would be a
perfect time to start this.
I do have two girls myself and they like Joe,
When my kids see commercials for anything aimed at
kids they automatically want it.
Do you guys think Hasbro already has this planned or
do they want Joe to always do just enough to stay on
three store pegs?
Anyway guys keep up the good work. Obviously I
meant everyone but Chuck. Just ribbing you again
Chuck. You guys are Awesome!!! YO JOE!!!!!
