The real question is not if they are dead or dying. But what are they doing to survive.

Privately we don't know, but publicly it appears very little.

- 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? :oops:

why even bring it up if your not gonna spill? To make yourself look like the "guy in the know" :?
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" :P That's why someone should come on here and tell the rest!

Yes, that's a hint :P
and the answer is no, sadly :( unless you're talking about what Phantom and I are working on, then the answer is Yes, but that answer was already out there ... sort of :P Can I be any more :? :D

I'm proud to say I don't know jack *SQUEE* and don't give a *SQUEE*. :thumb:

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.

I'm glad I was able to add my constructive comments to this discussion. :thumb:

What I know is mere second hand info from people who think they are in the "know". And from past experiences with these people and what they thought they knew they know sh!t.

Word of advice to some of the newer members here, Half of what you hear is a lie and the other half is BS.

When it comes to jedimarley, the "marley" part is a lie, that's not his name, it's his daughter.
The "jedi" part is BS.

As harsh as the truth may be, I agree with this statement.
