I'm sorry you feel that way, however I have to add, that's why one should always be informed before buying. Ask any Joe fan and they would have told you what to expect, the new vehicle drivers are being cut down on articulation, not the entire line. The single card figures will have knee and elbow joints, some, like the ninjas, will even still have ankle and wrist joints.
I hate to see someone base this line entirely on the vehicle drivers. As some of the single carded figures have actually turned out surprisingly well, in spite of Hasbro's moratorum on fifteen points of articulation for all.
Sadly I fear that we won't be seeing much in the way of Joe products for the rest of this year, which is why I'm glad I've got at least some of these figures. With a bit of luck I'll manage to score all of the ones I'm interested in before they vanish utterly from retailers shelves.
Unfortunately it would appear the TRU are the only stores stocking these things, Wal-Mart and just about every other chain must have sent their unopened cases back to the manufacturer instead of even trying to make some money back on them. Which is a real shame, as I'm certain they could have sold them even without the movie. If nothing else, loads of scalpers would have swooped down on their stock like vultures for the carcass of a dying animal.
