Pre ordered SE & Timber this evening from Big Bang Comics here in Ireland. The weaponry really put it over the top for me đź‘Ś Glad you're able to get them. It always seems like Europe, Australia & Canada always get left out.

It always seems like Europe, Australia & Canada always get left out. PJ got me Beach Head man but aside from that I've thankfully been able to get them all no fuss 🇮🇪✊

I have this preordered with Big Bad. It’s 1/12 scale saying it’s 6”. So I am hoping it’ll scale well on the shelf with the GI Joe’s. They posted this on their IG a while ago so it looks like they should blend in well. In addition, he’s using Classified Joes to show off a bunch of the prototype gear and it appears to fit them properly. I have the entire first wave preordered so I too am hoping they mesh well. For example:

For example: Gotta remember though, Gung Ho is a beefy boy. Stuff that fits him this well would look a little big on the other Joes. Not that that is a dealbreaker to me though. One thing I like about the Classified line is the height differences in the figures. It adds a bit of realism to it. If the AF Slaughter figure comes out a little bigger, I'm good with that. Dude is big in real life, so having him be imposing works.

LostHawk05 are you in the process of turning your Gung Ho into a more traditional look? Because I wish his attire colors were more in tune with the original 3.75” colors. As for the Sgt Slaughter I actually canceled my preorder yesterday. I decided I wanted a Dynamite Kid in my Mattel WWE collection more than I wanted a Sgt Slaughter (with a coat I wasn’t 100% sold on) on my GI Joe shelf.

So going through things, I came upon some figures from when i was a kid, and I was hoping I could get an idea of what they'd fetch at a local vintage toy shop? They all are "as is", no accy's. The figure on the far right is obviously broken, so it's not part of the lot. I'd really appreciate any info/help.

So the figures that will fetch you a decent price is that storm shadow because it still looks pretty white, and you’ll probably want to fix that broken figure because it’s snake eyes v2 and he is very popular. Firefly (the grey camo ninja looking dude) looks like he’s in good shape too. However as none of these come with accessories, don’t expect top dollar. While the other figures are popular characters, their value is low because it’s just the figure. Like you have a Tomax but no Xamot. Oh and the Hannibal from A-team (guy in blue) is not from Gijoe and wouldnt have much value. Oh and that rifle belongs to Outback (the guy in the white SURVIVAL shirt)

I'm still on the fence if I'm going to fix up the Gung Ho. I currently have the classic accessories preordered from Big Bad but would still need to pick up a second Gung Ho to do it. I'm more leaning towards canceling as the more classic looking Roadblock coming makes me feel like they'll probably circle back and give the same treatment to many that have already been released.

My Target got six more Major Bludds this morning. He wasn't on the pegs, but the app and price scanner are showing stock. Most of the local stores have him too. This is his third restock at my store, that I know of. He was stocked as recently as Monday when my store near work had a full case on the pegs and my home store had two. He's been an easier find than Lady Jaye or Flint. I haven't seen them anywhere, had to get them online.

It’s refreshing to see this many people finding Bludd. Hope this trend continues moving forward.

whatever they did with major bludd, this is how it SHOULD be.
wish they would re-stock beach head, firefly, baroness, etc.

Found the Cobra Troopers earlier this week - they had two and picked up both. Left the two Stalkers as I already picked him up, however I wont get anymore Cobra Troopers going forward since I already commented on how people are probably getting them to build their own Cobra Army...guess I'm not helping either haha.

I think, to a degree, the rarity of both Joe lines right now is making people buy more when they find them, especially Classified. I've noticed a lot of people mentioning buying more than one when they post that they found them (not just troopers). Unless they're all both MOC and loose collectors, it seems like something is persuading them to buy multiples (for trades, for friends/family, for reselling, out of excitement, whatever). You just don't know if you'll find them again if/when you see them.
