The 30th Anniversary SkyStriker is obviously a new mold but replicates the original almost perfectly.  Can you give us some insight into how you reverse-engineered the original so successfully?

Will the G.I. Joe Retaliation figure line see any big vehicles like the Pit for ROC?  Or will the focus be on the smaller Alpha wave vehicles?

Other than the action figures, will there be any other merchandise celebrating of the 30th anniversary?  Maybe a trading card series?

The re-released VAMP has the Steel Brigade DELTA Driver--is "DELTA" a squadron designation for this, like a Land trooper, or Sea trooper? What would Steel Brigade Alpha, Beta, Gamma troops be analogous to? Sea? Air? Space?

It's been a while since Hasbro ran a fan poll for what we want to see made next. Is there any plans to run another survey "fans choice" but this time for medium size vehicles?

Really I'm just looking for a way to tell Hasbro I want to see a new Killer Whale and I think the best way to do it is via a Hasbro endorsed poll

Any chance we'll see more of Slaughter's Marauders past the 7 pack?

How likely are we to see a 30th Night Raven based on the original, much like the Sky Striker; or did the RoC version kill it?

Are there other sub-teams in the works? Iron Grenadiers or Night Force would theoretically be well recieved...

With all the requests from fans on the Master Collector boards asking for a Night Force set along with the Night Boomer, I'd bet money that we'll see them produce a Night Force set in the next few years (and I'm really thinking 2012 will be the year for it). Look how well Mission Brazil / Python Patrol did for them. It was a total sell out.
