I saw this over at Joecustoms and didnt see it here anywhere so I thought I would post it here. Part of the survey does deal with AFA so whether your like them or not can we please not turn this into a AFA Bash. There are some very good questions on there would be very helpful to Hasbro plus a few places to leave a personal messages for them regarding what you would like to see.

Thanks for that link, its great to be able to tell Hasbro, what we want. Now hopefully they'll listen, LOL. :cool:

Don't worry. I won't bash AFA here. I bashed them enough during the survey ;) :D

Hopefully, whomever from Hasbro looks over the surveys will visit any links provided by those who respond

I gave them the suggestion to do a Headhunters theme for the next convention. It's probably the only subset they haven't done a theme for yet.

Just did the survey myself and they probably won't listen to any of our ideas.

I suggested doing more realistic vehicles, much like world peacekeepers and such. Also saw in another thread that Goldbug found out that Hasbro is holding Q & A with other fan sites like what they do with Star Wars!

I suggested a Joe Movie!

Mastercollectors designs and decides what are in those con sets more than Hasbro. You should let them know as well.

Hasbro put up a link today to a survey that asks questions about toy collecting. There are spots to tell how important certain criteria are when buying toys as well as places to type in specific comments.

"As a Collector, what suggestions, if any, do you have to Hasbro?"

I responded:

"Consider what makes the items from "yester-year" so attactive to collectors today and apply them to newly released products if you wish new items to be similarly desired (Alternators line is a prime example of this done successfully). Also consider increasing your reissue products and production lines (like the Transformers Gen 1 reissues and comic card G.I. Joes as well as increasing). Lastly, take into account that pricing is an issue with adult collectors as disposable income is decreasing under todays economic state i.e, the cheaper the cost, the more it would sell."

What do you think of my answer?

I posted this on my website too, we all let them have it.

Cool survey. I hope they actually listen to some of us. I suggested making toys that rival that of the 1980's and early 90's. I like the oldschool Joe's and Transformers.
