Yeah, you're in the minority. While I don't hate Extreme, I don't love them either. However, if they do make them, I'll buy them. Just to show my support for the obscure guys. |

I have very little knowledge about Extreme at all, but the reason I skipped them is the form factor, not the characters. I'd be all for Classified releases, the more characters the merrier, in my book. |

I think he may mean the forearm guards, which they do have, they're just not pictured in the image he uploaded.

It's why in my own head canon the Extreme team is actually the pre-cursor to the classic team and that some of Cobra's tech came from the remnants of SKAR (the terrorist group from Extreme).

Amazon proper had Heavy Artillery Roadblock up tonight. I put an order in but it says the delivery date is July 11-12. Finger's crossed this time.

Well I also ordered one at MSRP due in July but apparently it's already been shipped. Hopefully yours will too.

I really feel like Extreme got the shaft. The cartoon was very 90s and as such, didn't age well, but I loved the mythos the comic started to build before it was prematurely canceled. The biggest issue is people just wanted the GI Joes they grew up with and weren't willing to look at anything different.

Yeah. It was very much a product of the Dark Ages of comics. It wasn't the worst comic of that time, that cake goes to Heroes Reborn. I liked that a faction that wasn't COBRA was added to the GI Joe rogues gallery. I liked that SKAR was actually a national guard for a foreign nation as opposed to a non-state terrorist group. The biggest problem Extreme had was that too many characters were just carbon copies of the ARAH characters, so it begged the question as to why establish new characters if their personalities were just going to be the same as the ARAH characters. In general, it just ended up being a wash. I did like that Iron Klaw and Sgt. Savage were featured in comics like IDW's Revolutionairies.

Word on the 'tank is that this wave is starting to ship across most e-tailers. Aside from a BBTS PO for Croc Master, I have no real skin in the game for this wave, but I am really glad to see them going out, I'm hoping it will assuage the constant bitching I see in regards to this line (predominately there, of course. You lot are like a damned oasis, which is why I sign in here. Us Joe guys are only marginally better than Star Wars and Nintendo fans, apparently).

Man, Pulse charged me for Croc Mater, Storm Shadow, Spirit, and my Cobra Troopers and then Amazon was about to do the same so I canceled everyone but the troopers.
And now appaently Amazon is going to charge me for some of the X-Men preorders. Too many preordered items coming in at one time.

HAHAHAHAHA!
I have to agree that is definitely one of the causes. And this one kitbasher that hijacks damn near every thread. |

I only try to stick to the Vintage and Buy/Sell forums over there since every other section just seems...........horrendous. But it's always nice to see Joe talk over here.

I've been playing catch up too. GI Joe Classified brought me back into action figure collecting as a whole. I started with the Snake Eyes movie figures and have been playing catch up since.
