2009 has already started off with a bang with the great Super Bowl ad for G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra, as well as the unveiling of many of the movie figures and vehicles at Toy Fair.

For those of you worried that the Q&A program was in limbo or disappearing, fret no more. We’re back!

Attached please find this year's schedule. The first round of questions is due THIS MONDAY at noon - no later (or your questions will need to wait until the next round). Sorry for the late notice - we're just getting over our Toy Fair hangovers.

Because the interest in G.I. Joe is so high this year, two changes have had to be implemented::

1. We have to limit the number of questions to three (3) per outlet, per session.
2. We will get the answers for each session back to you in two (2) weeks, rather than one (1).

These changes will help guarantee the most thorough and thoughtful responses possible for each submitted question.

**Lastly, if, in your first submission this Monday, you can preface the three (3) questions with your name, the site you submit on behalf of, and your mailing address and phone number (cell, home or work – whichever you prefer), that would be great. We like to keep track of the folks that help us out – and you are all clearly among that group.

We look forward to a great year and the beginning of a great 2009 Q&A program.

Thanks for your continued support.

Yo Joe!

We have seen the Quarrel ( UK ACTION FORCE ) inspired repaint of pilot Scarlett in toy form as well as the cover to the Scarlett vs Cobra Commander Resolute comic which cleadly shows her on it. When is this COMIC PACK due to be released?

I'd really like to know the answer to this one too..., but going on their track-record whenever we've asked questions about comics instead of toys, we've never had a conclusive answer :-(

I guess it's because Hasbro don't have much to do with the publishing process...

Perhaps we should try three corking questions that'll help to revive the :enemy: , :sas: , :zforce: , :qforce: , :space: , and now :fforce: toylines instead! :mrgreen:

Well... I suppose if we present them with Dave's findings on the true :af: heritage of :bombardier: Bombardier, maybe we could ask them for a new version of him? Sort of cement the ties between Action Force and GI Joe (as long as they promise to print on his card that he's an :af: character!!! :lol: )

There have been a lot of hits lately that they might be bringing back :enemy: ...

Maybe we ought to ask them if they're if they're also going to bring back the non-GI Joe :AFLogo: characters invented by Palitoy. If they're not... does that mean they're absolving themselves of all responsibility to these classic characters? :eagle2: , :skip: , :levi: , :skyraider: , :boffin: etc.

Of course, we'd need to word it politely :mrgreen:

Exciting times ahead for :enemy: !!!
