So I went to an out-of-the-way WM this morning, and they had two beat up, crushed by a forklift Shipwrecks for $14 (still on the pegs, not in the ad hoc clearance section that moves around the store), so I grabbed them and a $29 Scrap Iron. Never know when we'll get another Classified figure...

I'm guessing the exclusives cost retailers more than mainline... one because they're paying for that exclusivity, and two, the production runs are much smaller. So a retro figure would have a higher baseline cost to WM than Dusty or Zarana. As for the eternals, no doubt those figures cost more...

$14 Shipwreck is an illusion. His page lets you add him to the cart, but when you go to the cart, it tells you he's unavailable (but a 3rd party has him for $30!). I got bit by that once before with WM. Same with $15 Destro. They sold him to me, told me it was out for delivery, then never...

Yeah, I do wonder what Target is thinking every time they cue up a new TF/PP exclusive. I think WM has done better, given that retro Lady Jaye is the only thing mine seem to be stuck with. They "clearanced" Scrap Iron to $38 this week... no dice, WM.

Yeah, I'll probably get one, but I don't feel the need to army-build sub-team repaints. I can use the NF SC helmet on this guy with my Vala night-time Steel Brigade figures, make him an officer or something. The $55 pricetag is a kick in the nuts as well, given that the last cycles (regular and...

They should have made that!

Quite literally all Buzz parts except the head and a couple extra hoses. I bought the figure because I needed the jetpack w/ wings for my Plague AVAC... so the figure was surplus. But he looked so close, I couldn't resist. Not my finest custom, but considering Deep Six is a tertiary character...

I love SAW Viper, even if they make him hot Barbie pink. He was so insane in the comics, I couldn't pass him up. In the DTC era, they put out a good SAW that was mostly brown and black, with just a hint of the pink, and it looked great, so I'd be fine if classified went that route...

I hear you. Classified is putting out a lot of great stuff. Even the stuff without a lot of nostalgia pull is worth picking up at discounted rates. When any of them get sub-20 or especially sub-15, where else on the market can you find something that fun for less? I managed to PO the 60th...

Oh, and name-only reveals of SAW Viper, Frag Viper, and Dialtone. Dialtone is automatic, assuming it's the male version, none of that IDW gender swap nonsense. The two vipers illustrate the best and the worst of hasbro's imagination when it comes to Cobra. SAW viper is a heavy gunner, makes...

As for Hasbro's financials... I don't worry about Joe too much. Sure, they might have to scale back on the number of accessories or something to cut costs, but in my head, they'll always have to do far worse to Marvel Legends and Star Wars because those have license fees on top of them. I...

The Eel... I'm only getting one to keep carded, but there isn't enough difference to bother adding any to my shelf ranks. The Snow Serpent... I might get one or two to open, let the brighter colors be the officers or something. Definitely don't need a bunch though. Beachhead, yeah I'll get...

Ah, I never saw them as a band. Cold Slither was a funny one-off episode, but just that. The biker gang structure worked better in my head. But I can see where a four-member "band" wouldn't appreciate all the new additions. I think Gnawgahyde was the first 'Nok that I didn't own originally...

I get it. I never had Gnawgahyde, Night Creeper, or Range-Viper as a kid either, like you, well before my time ('89 was my final year of collecting ARAH the first time around), but all three were in the comic, so I was aware of them even if I didn't own the toys. But when I got back into Joe...

I'll PO all of them, because I'm such a mark for these. I mean, Gnawgahyde is dumb, but you can't have too many Dreadnoks, and come on, he comes with an angry monkey with an eyepatch. If that's not funny, I don't know what is. My only complaint is that he uses the shitty w1 Gung-Ho buck with...

Russian pirates?

Idk, it's been too long now. Never saw a pirate playing the long game that well. They're more the right-here, right-now types. "Arrrgh, I'll talk them up on the interwebs for FIFTEEN YEARS, and THEN I'll make my move. They'll never see me get their Monkey Depot booty! Arrrrgh."

I didn't lose my love of 1:18th... I just gained a greater appreciation for 1:12th. But it was easy for me, as I'd been collecting marvel legends since about '07... so I always had a foot in both camps. I love the detail of 1:12, but the vehicles are a problem. I have the Haslab HISS, and I...

I 'm REAL!... I think... :unsure:
