Ooo... that list is fascinating. So they are sticking with 3 man waves then. And I thought Mindbender was gonna be the last CI exclusive, but I guess not.

[Raine24]

Still no regular release for Baroness? I got lucky and was able to grab the reissue last month, but it's ridiculous to have two years straight of her being a store exclusive (in a double-priced set with a vehicle that isn't an updated classic and most people don't seem to care for). I dropped the line over this stuff, and only got Baroness because it'd let me finally display what I got before quitting, though my brother did get me Zartan and Lady Jaye as birthday presents. Good kid

I was going to commend them on giving the Viper a regular release, and in a two-pack no less, the way army builders should be released! But it's a Viper/Viper Officer two-pack? How are you supposed to army build these if you're stuck with a commander for every grunt? Why haven't they done barebones versions at a lower price on Pulse like their AIM troopers? It's like they're ideologically opposed to making this line easy to collect

Or fun :/

[MeLikeJinx]

^ I want to drop this line too since most of it I can never find at retail... but they are only releasing 3 new figs every 2 months... at that rate... I might as well just stick it out and see how it goes.

[Dr Kain]

Fucking Amazon. They forced me to approve a delay of my Roadblock until the 27th. -_- WTF? How come people who preordered after me got their's last week while I'm still waiting for mine to ship? Even if I was expecting a delay it's still bullshit. They better compensate me when I contact them in a bit.

EDIT: And they weren't helpful for shit. One of them even hung up on me, as it were. The second guy said he keeps being delayed because the stock hasn't hit my local distribution facility like. I'm like, "What the fuck does that mean? Why are people who ordered him AFTER me getting him BEFORE me??? I don't give a shit about their distribution facility."

[Dr Kain]

Good news, Roadblock arrived today.



Bad news, his arms are super loose and he can't hold his gatling gun up because of it. It just slants into his pelvic area if I don't prop it up on something. -_-

[Raine24]

Is there any way to guarantee that Amazon will ship you another one if you send it back or do you risk them going "Whoops, guess he's out of stock, here's a refund instead!" and losing out on him altogether?

Nope, the only option they are giving me is to return him for a refund. No replacement option at all.

I kinda want an updated jet for Haslab. Just like some Classified figures have modern updated designs. I can see a Skystriker paintjob on a Yf-23 jet looking pretty awesome. A sticker sheet for an updated Skystriker or Storm Eagle can be like Haslab Sentinel with Master Mold or the Galactus with Doom noggin. A cool YF-23 jet can make for an updated Skysriker or Storm Eagle,

I agree they should have an updated Skystriker, but if they make one, it would be the F-22. So it would be more like the Thunderwing.

FINALLY had the chance to sit down and take some pics of the new Roadblock and Snake-Eyes:

[MeLikeJinx]

^ Great pics! That first headswap looks really nice... I much prefer the beard on the HA Roadblock.

Thanks.

As for the Roadblock head, really? I hate the beard.

[MeLikeJinx]

^ That HA Roadblock beard is the same type of beard Roadblock had in the '87 animated movie I think. I don't recall him ever having that more modern Lebron type beard that the regular Classified Roadblock has.

Also just found a HA Roadblock at a local shop... had to pay scalper price, but that's fine since I probably would have never gotten him otherwise. I really hope that Gung Ho is the next one to get the classic redo treatment.

[Sataninjaku]

I think you guys are agreeing, in that the HA head is both superior and the most accurate to the OG RB look. Pardon the Cali dust, it never sleeps:

[kenm2474]

Storm Shadow Complete.


Added his Arm Sleeve tattoo from the Classified Artist Rendering.

[bumblebree]

How dare you!!! I've never used filters nor photoshopped any of my IG/FB post.... EVERRRRRRRR!!!!!

[jwyss234]

I stopped by a couple of Walmarts today and was surprised to see that they were overflowing with Classified figures. The piles looked like they were just CC, Lady J, Flint, SE, SS, and the Baroness though.

[GizmoTron]

Every Walmart I've seen a ton of Snake Eyes and Storm Shadows with varied amount of Baroness. Not sure why the sudden flood.

[Cyclopswc]

Yup

The movie was a flop so those movie G.I. Joe Classified’s are not near as wanted as the regular classifieds I mean arctic storms Shadow looks a lot better than that movie storm Shadow in that piss yellow outfit of his

That only explains the future lack of potential sales, not why Walmart everywhere suddenly has gotten in a ton of them.

Exactly. And a lot of Target stores in my area are getting 12-24 copies of Breaker. Which is insane.

Lucky you. The only Targets here so far that have gotten any in are an hour+ away from me. None of my closes ones have them.

[Dr Kain]

Well shit, look what they did have at one of my Target's today:



They would only let me buy one, but I'm okay with that. If I see another in the wild later, I'll grab it. If not, not biggie.

I just know that I have counted without even trying 45 people who have said they are not adding the movie Figures to the Collection.
