    G.I. Joe Classified Series (1:12)

    So I decided to try it: I cancelled my order with Cover Girl and Falcon and reordered with just Cover Girl and another item I needed from Amazon anyway and it got my free shipping. That leaves me with just Cover Girl from that wave. Falcon is just boring, dated and ugly (dat face! 🤢) and the...

    G.I. Joe Classified Series (1:12)

    Got my Alpha Commando SE today! It’s amazing how fast the USPS can be at times (made it here from CA since it was shipped Friday), and it highlights how often they are not nearly that efficient. Anyway, what a great figure! I kept the backpack and sword from v1 and assembled what I would...

    G.I. Joe Classified Series (1:12)

    You are probably right. Even without nostalgia, I usually end up with at least 2 figs from each wave, even if they aren't the main ones I'm interested in, partially to get the free shipping from AZ or whoever. I'm not a Prime member, so I have to get past $25. Not sure if I could keep something...

    One is his ghost... Look for an extra Doc and the BF 2000s too... :rolleyes: Lol, since you made me take a close look at it, it was so nice of them to include Bongo and the White Clown... :rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes: Sorry for the cynicism. I'm at a very weird place in my relationship with...

    I got my Stalker wave delivered by Amazon over the weekend. I haven't opened them yet, but Stalker looks great in person. The Twins look ridiculous (just silly), but let's be honest, they always kinda did. I could have skipped them, but I had them as a kid so... nostalgia. I'll pose them back to...

    Mega-Hiss is surprisingly spot on in vehicle mode!

    G.I. Joe Classified Series (1:12)

    And I got another “back order delayed” message from Target... Supposedly 10/21 for Outback now. Nobody has botched their whole process with Joe Class more then Tarjay. Apparently all the “Target Exclusives” have been sent to Toys R Us up in Canada to be sold for double the price...

    G.I. Joe Classified Series (1:12)

    So I came across an Alpha Commando SE today on Mercari and offered $24 and got it. He’ll be replacing the (approximately) v2 version I currently have displayed at work. My daughter will get that one with Timber, so she’ll have a good full Classified v2. I really like the AC version of SE and...

    G.I. Joe Classified Series (1:12)

    It's coming back to me a little now. We had another convo when the delivery estimate for SS and Zartan got pushed out. I guess I got confused and thought maybe they were realigning with the ones from Today. SE and CG are scheduled for June.

    G.I. Joe Classified Series (1:12)

    I got my CG pre-ordered and yes, nostalgia got the best of me (plus the fact that it got me free shipping -$7) so I pre-ordered an OG Snake Eyes too. He just looks too legit, and I still have trauma from losing the original at a park back in the 80's. :p If I come to my senses, I'll just...

    G.I. Joe Classified Series (1:12)

    I just found that the Retro CG and OG SE are up on Walmart.com. They currently show as Out of Stock, but might open up at 10am EDT if the rumors come true.

    G.I. Joe Classified Series (1:12)

    I agree that the Stalker definitely looks pretty dull in color. That is what you want for actual camo, but you're right, it looks grayish in pretty much every pic. His dark tone just blends in and makes it hard to see much detail as well. Hopefully it's better in person with normal lighting. I...

    G.I. Joe Classified Series (1:12)

    Got an email this morning from Amazon that the Stalker wave is now due to be delivered mid October instead of November. I wouldn't be too surprised to see the Dusty wave yet this year as well. I'm pretty sure that generally the remaining figs in plastic fronted boxes were supposed to be this...

    He does look a lot like a younger, skinnier me... with smaller ears... :p

    G.I. Joe Classified Series (1:12)

    Sounds like a great strategy. Can't wait to see the finished product(s)!

    G.I. Joe Classified Series (1:12)

    Of anybody, you would be a good choice for this, as you have the tools and know how to make it what it ought to have been. Any thoughts on which Joe body you'll end up on, which weapons, kit? I'm assuming not basic ninja Snake Eyes, though he's one of only a few w/o the shin guards you kinda...

    G.I. Joe Classified Series (1:12)

    I just checked and Amazon updated the Stalker wave to November, so that’s a couple more for ‘22. I had to go find this post to update my current pre-orders. Maybe we’ll yet see another wave move to late ‘22... Had to update this again. Tarjay sent me an update this morning that now they expect...

    G.I. Joe Classified Series (1:12)

    Pre-ordered Cover Girl and Falcon. No interest in the others in this wave. Looking forward to getting the Tiger Outback in the next couple weeks (already have a vest to cover that t-shirt). Next after that should be the retro CG from Walmart when that comes available. Everything I want after...

    G.I. Joe Classified Series (1:12)

    They’re likely in the same wave as the CG And SE. That’s the only thing that makes sense.

    G.I. Joe Classified Series (1:12)

    You can bet they're patting themselves on the back internally. You have to also figure they made bank on this offering. Let's hope they don't get cocky (looking at you, SW) and decide to drop a basic VAMP with mostly Breaker repaint Clutch, some strap on missiles, a BONUS blue repaint SE and an...
