Weird that those are listed as arriving in August while the first wave is listed for September. Seems like the shipping issues really jacked things up for this line. Or maybe it's just WM.com being its usual wonky self. You'd think a corporate giant like WM would be able to have a reasonably...

Thank you sooooo much. I'll be sure to jump right on that... :LOL:

Lol, wouldn't be surprised. As long as it's been, I was hoping maybe the Recondo and Bazooka would end up dropping at the same time as Outback. I suppose the PP Viper and BAT might be (didn't PO them).

Funny that I just mentioned it, I got a notification overnight that Outback should be dropping in October (if it sticks).

Lol, well at least you should have plenty of storage space the stuff you are still getting! I've always been pretty particular about my toy buying, often not as much by choice. I think that comes from growing up relatively poor and then being the single income for a 6 person family. I certainly...

Yeah, you gotta wonder if H'bro missed their window of opportunity. With all this Bide-flation happening now, I'd imagine most people have a lot less cash left over to use for nostalgic impulse items than they did say two years ago. I'd imagine a lot of that cash is now going to paying double to...

Totally with you on the pricing. I am already past my limit on anything I’m not at least significantly enthusiastic about, unless it’s on sale. At up to $25, I’ll pick up most figs that I have any interest in, but have passed on everything I’m not crazy about. I have bought zero “deluxe” figures...

Yeah, I also always thought the use of Spirit to counter SS in the cartoon was ludicrous. If I had him as a kid, I really don't remember using him significantly. But he is iconic enough in the JoeClass version that I figured I'd pick him up. He doesn't have much of a role in my display other...

So my Spirit, SS & CO arrived yesterday. Generally very nice figures - the Cobra Officer being better than expected, so all in all, a pretty nice group. Only real disappointment is that Spirit's backpack peg was size about 20% too small so it wouldn't stay in at all. Weird because that has...

I don't mind Mindbender being a deluxe exclusive. I have no desire to have him in my collection anyway. Zartan/Dreadnoks are about the extent of weird I am willing to include, as they are displayed on my shelf at work. I'm sure there'll be a regular version at some point down the road if you...

Seems plausible. They did emphasize the hook. Hasbro also knows two things: 1. This is one of, if not, the best performing Haslab offering so far and 2. They could certainly use a home run with the fans to build up some good will with all the issues they’ve been having with the Classified line...

Oh yeah, that’s the origin of those circular tech things on some of their kit too, isn’t it?

Ah, I had wondered about that odd logo. I think they are really going after the completists with this offering. Video game?

Agreed. Four figs and a bunch of bolt ons doesn’t quite get me there either. Here’s hoping they surprise us with a decent towed #5 upgrade. Need somewhere for that 4th figure to sit... What’s the Mickey Mouse reference?

Yeah, if it gets more people on board, it would still benefit them to toss in a freebee or two toward the end anyway, if they can come up with something. Could be something as simple as a BAT repaint to deploy from the troop compartment (since it only houses one figure anyway). I do like that...

Oh, I was most definitely not aware that they would keep adding. I'm assuming that means without altering the price?

Ok, H'bro has one more chance to finally make it (a little more) worth the cost. The 3rd figure (a girl one!) adds a little more value, so there's that. And I think they've now filled up every bolt on spot imaginable to turn the thing into an impossibly over-armed tracked fortress, like...

I'm also in. Let's keep the lights on!

I do like those (better than the “upgraded” red gull wing version and the bolt on missiles), but they don’t really add value like the Hiss Tactician (black and silver FTW! :LOL:) does. Here’s hoping for a big finish with #3 and #4, assuming it hits all of those. That’s what will make or break it...

Huh, 12,102 backers and the #2 info isn’t yet posted. H’bros off for the weekend?
