Privately we don't know, but publicly it appears very little.jedimarley wrote:The real question is not if they are dead or dying. But what are they doing to survive.
- no regular revenue streams (three HC's doesn't count as regular for me, they offer a splash then a trickle of revenue)
- no other alternative media licensing on the immediate horizon that we know of.
- no ancillary merchandise to capitalise on the properties simply to generate revenue (t-shirts; other items capitalising on the iamgery that wouldn't be invalidated by any eventual potential relaunch).
...but then you were probably being rhetorical, weren't you?

Hey don't jump down my throat, I'm not the only one who said they "know something". Like I said it sounds like a lot of people around here know something, maybe we all know the same thing! I think it's funny that someone says "that's between you and me" and then proceeds to tell half the board and says the same thing "that's between you and me"Squirrel wrote:why even bring it up if your not gonna spill?

I'm proud to say I don't know jack *SQUEE* and don't give a *SQUEE*. 
If something happens and there is new Valiant product at some point, great, I'll evaluate it and decide if it is worth buying.
If nothing happens, no skin off my nose.
