G.I. Joe: Classified 6" figures

[Buttmunch]

Why is it the exclusive figures get the retro accurate guns?

 

[IdeaOfEvil]

So, are the retro figures just re-releases of the 25th anniversary ones? Or are they entirely new sculpts/creations?

 

[Buttmunch]

Just rereleases with new printing.

The exclusive looks great guys, thanks for posting

Too bad Target went belly up in Canada but these look awesome regardless

I would trade all of the Targets for your 1 Toys R Us. Any day of the week!

All saying sold out right now. Why are they making this line so difficult to collect? I still don't even have my wave 1 order from BBTS.

The site was sold out at 09:01, which is technically impossible. I am thinking that there are no "pre-orders" actually available, but will go up for real sale on 08-14.

Nah, some people actually were able to buy. The majority are bought up by bots

I was able to snag a Roadblock but the others had already sold out after less than 10 seconds. They either had very little to sell or bots swooped them all up.

I had 1 Baroness in my cart as the rest sold out. When I went to check out the cart was empty. The sad truth is that Hasbro already got their fat checks from Walmart and Target and could care less if the collectors end up with their product or not. Sadly, it's some collectors that pay these ridiculous 2nd market prices to keep these scammers/bots/scumbags in business.

I am considering just canceling my BBTS preorder for the first wave and bailing on this line. I don't have the intestinal fortitude to deal with this and NECA's Turtles line chaos.

Found this on Twitter with the DCPIs. Apparently, they've already showed up in stores. I don't know if I can believe this.

 

[mikedanger]

What the hell, lol

 

[screamingmetal]

Huh, found out about these and they've been sold out for hours, great.
They all look really good! I'm not happy with the unnecessary shin armor but the Cobra Trooper and Beachhead are faithful to the originals. The changes in design are subtle enough to change things but still look very much RAH.
Beachhead is an extremely popular character and Cobra Troopers are popular and massable, odd to make them exclusive. I have a feeling they'll get a repaint and re-released eventually, if so I hope BH will not change because he looks fantastic.

 

[screamingmetal]

Looking at Roadblock, he reminds me more of Heavy Duty with the backwards cap. I still like the look, hopefully they don't change Heavy Duty much to differentiate the two. The Baroness looks pretty damn close to the original Rah. I wish the shoulder pads weren't there and she had her classic round glasses, but still looks great, not liking the look of the bike at all though. Too sci-fi looking and not enough of a military ascetic. Still really liking both, wish I could order.

I am still waiting for my wave 1 order from BBTS too. I thought I was the only one!

Hasbro needs to change their website name because they certainly do not have their finger on the pulse of collectors and what we want. They’ve completely bungled the relaunch of GI Joe by severely underestimating demand and thinking they needed to beg target to carry the line with an exclusive wave, that is also probably under ordered. I can only pray Target demands more figures produced because they’re literally saying no to money if they don’t. Walmart and Target clearly still don’t understand collectors either.
