Crimson twins on Amazon for $14 and $17 is tempting

Looks as if Tomax & Xamot are $12.99 each on Amazon (if anyone is still missing 'em).

I'm fairly sure Bazooka and a few of those figures are fixing to ship in the next few weeks. I got mine early. A buddy of mine runs a toyshop...I know I know, but seriously...his is actually very uneventful...Anyway. He got a little box of three figures from Hasbro...figured it was some other GI Joe figures he had ordered, opened them up...3 Red Shirt Bazookas. I have mine, another guy that is SUPER into Joes (has a HUGE '82-'94 collection along with all the 3.75 that came after and has actually built a huge diorama, has other Joe stuff like an original dedicated cabinet of the 1992 GI Joe arcade game...and a GI Joe logo Tattoo and the Arashikage on his arm.) has one, and the owner kept the last for himself. I can say with absolute confidence that this is a sign that this thing is coming VERY VERY VERY VERY soon. This could also be confirmation that these are shipping in cases of each figure.

The Monday Nitro Stage crowdfund failure makes you realize how better suited the GI Joe line is for crowdfund projects. Hasbro got people backing a $230 1:18 jet and a $300 1:12 Cobra HISS with a limit of 5 per customer, although I dont know why a crowdfund would have limits as to how many somebody wants to buy.

Just totally different collector bases. I'm excited for the HISS. But objectively it doesn't have anywhere near the value that the Nitro stage has. I selfishly hope they don't do too many large products for cost and space. But the line basically has a license to print money with various potential crowdfund projects. |

This certainly isn't news to anyone, but Walmart's preorder system is so broken. The Retro carded Classified Zartan I ordered back in July of 2022 is still "delayed", but the one I ordered this morning has already shipped.

I ordered them yesterday and they got here today already |

Ordered 2 Classified Arctic B.A.T.s from Amazon. The Tele-viper flight pod combo is nice, but I really only want the pod.

2 x Trubble Bubble
4 x Arctic B.A.T.
2 x PP Crimson Guard
1 x TF Dusty
I'm such a sucker for troop builders. And I especially love B.A.T.s.

Dragonfly with Wild Bill confirmed as next G.I. Joe Classified Haslab. Looks really great! Working winch and lights.
The price is reasonable at $275 IMO, especially if the other three figures get unlocked.
Already at over 50% of what's needed to make it at the base level.

I'm probably in on the Dragonfly. I may hold off until it hits the first stretch goal, but it's a solid value as is. Where I'm going to fit it into my collection is the biggest hangup for me right now.

This thing is probably going to fund by the end of the night. Crazy.

Joe, but I never imagined a six-inch line would be this popular. It's insane but awesome. I just hate that it's Hasbro because 25-30 per figure made me stop collecting Classified figs. Maybe only temporarily haha |

The movie and it's figures were bombs, and the early "re-imagined" designs for the Classified line were not well received. Thankfully Hasbro listened to the fans, did more traditional designs, and the line took off. |

I'm really liking the figs on classic cards with classic colors. It's nice to see Hasbro respond to our feedback before it was too late. |
