Here is the latest round, Round 1 2010 of G.I. Joe Q&A answers from Hasbro from questions we submitted. We did the best we could in submitting our 3 questions with the new restrictions set in place, so I hope you do enjoy them. Things were changed up for this year’s Q&A sessions with them answering at least one of the questions submitted on the day they are due, then the following Monday or Tuesday, we receive the remaining “best of the best” which could include the rest of our answers along with a pool of about 40 some questions and answers from around the community. Basically it will be a round-up all in one place but at ALL sites that participate. So, we got back 2 of the 3 submitted, let us know what you think!
And as with previous Q&A’s, we will be updating our G.I. Joe Q&A Round-Up Directory as other site’s Q&A answers comes in. You can also check GeneralsJoes’ Q&A directory for updates too! So be sure to check back often!

Well hate to be the bearer of bad news, but I just got an email from BigBadToyStore, they are saying Hasbro has officially cancelled the Rise of Cobra Wave 3 Alpha Class vehicles. Wave 3 consisted of the Lava Pod w/Volcano-Viper, Tiger Claw ATV w/Leatherneck, Polar Sharc w/Icestorm and Desert Rockslide ATAV w/Dusty.
Hi – Hasbro has just informed us that this item has been cancelled, and as a result they will not be able to fill our orders. We apologize for the inconvenience. We have cancelled all preorders and removed the item from our site.
Thanks

So whatever boxed production samples made their way out of the factory in China onto eBay or hit retail in the Philippines is it, at least for now. Hasbro may or may not still try to get some of these into the Pursuit of Cobra line considering some of the tooling they spent money on. Only time will tell.
