Picked up another Breaker today.
In other news, the Walmart I went to last night had 16 movie Snake-Eyes, 3 Storm Shadows, 2 Baronesses, and 2 of that other lady from the movie. No Scarlets.

^ That other lady from the movie has really great box art... like I almost wanted to buy her just for the box art. I love lining up my Classified Joes on the shelf sideways with the box art side facing forward. Anyway I saw her and movie Scarlett today at Target and got the Scarlett. Didn't see any Breakers though... not that I really wanted Breaker.

Found a lone Breaker at my Target today... probably only found him because they stuck him on an endcap in the video game section with the Cyberpunk toys that nobody cares about. Still though... from watching toy hunt youtube vids it seems like Breaker is not as popular as the other Cobra Island exclusives. Or maybe scalpers are laying off Joes now and it is mostly just collectors buying them up now.

^ According to the Target website Breaker is on sale now for $20.99 until Tuesday. Damnit... just missed the sale.
EDIT: Went back to Target today to get a price adjustment and so I ended up getting my Breaker for $20.99! Woohoo! Makes up for paying scalper prices for HA Roadblock. Last edited by MeLikeJinx; 10-10-2021 at 06:29 PM.. |

You can count me among them, although I've been tempted to pick up the Akiko (to fill in as Jinx) and Baroness (to swap out with the COIL Baroness as the bike's rider) figures. As for Fake Eyes and Yellow Snow Storm Shadow, though, not in a million years.

I'm down for Spirit and Storm Shadow. Not sure on Croc Master, though he looks awesome.
No interest on the Python Patrol, Tiger Force, nor BAT.

Good set of reveals. Despite Emily's attempt, it is pretty obvious that they do not have a lot of general faith in Target and their pre-orders or general distribution. Sometimes I like having a communication background since I pick up on vocal tells.
Revealing the standard BAT teaser ahead of the Target exclusive was a smart move so fans knew the regular version was on the way before being told of the Python Patrol version. Fiona looks fantastic! They are doing a stellar job on the animals. |

Yeah, I'm glad that the Target Exclusives are repaint teams that I have no interest in. Even when I was a kid I didn't dig the idea of buying redeco teams. Except for that Outback. Hopefully they release him later in his regular colors.
Sorta surprised about the Skystriker Haslab. Not that it's the Skystriker, but it's for the O-rings and at that price. |

I know a lot of people want them but I cannot see Hasbro doing any large scale vehicles for the Classified line simply due to the overall scale involved. I agree that the price for the 3.75" HasLab seems rather steep.
It seems Hasbro may have finally learned their lesson and listened to the fans regarding only giving Target repaints. I expect we will see a traditional Survival shirt/red hair Outback sometime next year. |

Agreed. Smaller things like the bikes are fine and maybe even VAMP size vehicles, but anything bigger just seems too much. From a size/space and cost standpoint.
I'm also wondering if they're scrapping their previous "Retro" line for this new O-Ring line. Which I wouldn't mind, but they only really announced the two figures. |

It looks like I’ll be making my first 6-inch Joe purchase tonight. I’ve resisted the line until now, but Storm Shadow and Spirit look too good to pass up. ’84 Spirit was one of my favorite figures when I was a kid, and this is exactly what I’d want a Classifieds version of him to be. Same with SS.
I'm surprised they're running two Haslab campaigns concurrently. |

I'm going to be broke tonight if I manage to order everything. Hopefully they are relatively easy to obtain.

I never really liked BATS... even right now I have zero 25th BATS. SS and Spirit are homeruns though.

Man, I can't stop looking at the promo shots for Spirit. It's a great up-sized & modern take on the character, while managing to hearken back to the original figure just enough for me. Picked up him and Storm Shadow. I guess Imma be hangin’ out in this thread now.
Side note: I pondered getting that O-ring 2-pack of Snake Eyes and Storm Shadow until I saw the cost. I seldom gripe about pricing, but $40 for two 3.75" figures? No thanks. I don't care how closely they (and the packaging) resemble the originals. |

I really wish Hasbro would sell us those dioramas they use for the Joes. They are amazing.

What an awesome day to be a Joefan- talk about a a franchise resurrection. I preordered everything shown aside from Zartan (the original was perfect as is), and the o-ring two pack (I have the V1s already). I even liked the Python BAT. I really didn't think I would. Also, I am definitely backing the Sky Striker.

Sure, if you have the skills of an architect. I do not. Every time I've tried to make a diorama it doesn't even look like a quarter of what I intended it to look like. You ever see the cake making TV show Nailed It? My vision is the cake the contestants are supposed to make, my final product is what they end up making.
Like last year. I spent nearly $100 in materials to make a forest diorama and this what it ended up looking like: It's awful.
