Is not even a forum. The message boards were killed a while aback.

Officially at 12PM PST, myself and the volunteer team of YoJoe.com have resigned and no longer have any relationship with Vertical Scope.
Due to their plans to turn the site into nothing but a forum, and do something similar to the database content, YoJoe.com no longer belongs to the G.I.Joe community at large.
I have fought for nearly three years, doing everything from trying to repair the site, to outright buying it with the help from some in the community, there is simply no way that we can pay what they are asking.
I encourage the development of some type of alternative database be constructed by the community, for the community, in the same way that YoJoe.com has, for the past 23 years.
I personally have now lost 15 years of work, 15 years of my life is gone, taken by a Canadian technocrat who eats up thousands forums and websites of every imaginable type, strictly to absorb the ad revenue. The owner of Vertical Scope moved from Canada to the Caribbean, where they run the company from the beach.
It was fun while it lasted.

« on: October 26, 2023, 04:34:13 PM »Is there an online checklist of all the Classified figures released? I am not going full hardcore on collecting these and only buying figures that look "cool" and available in local retailers.
I reference this site
https://www.actionfigure411.com/gijoe/classified-visual-guide.php
This will do. And holy crap, I am way behind. I really don't want to use ebay in this day of age as paying for shipping is beyond brutal. Looks like I will have to in order to get Snow Job.

You're best bet is probably Yojoe.com or 3DJoes.com.
They seem to be the best sites for comprehensive lists/pics/collections of Joe product.
There is nothing in regards to Classified figures on either Site. The new owners of yojoe.com have ruined this Site.

There was a Walmart located next to James Snow Parkway, by the 401. Looks like it was in Milton. I got the last Crimson Guard there. There were 5 Storm Shadows left.

Finally found a Crimson Guard and Storm Shadow. Got them at a Walmart in the Halton Hills area today. Just need to find Zartan and Snake Eyes.

Picked up Classified Shipwreck and Bazooka today from Markville TRU. May have to go back and get Torpedo.

I find Walmarts to be more of huge swing and miss to find anything.

I picked up Cover Girl at Whitby TRU a couple of weeks ago. The price was less than what I have been paying from before.

Found a retro Baroness at a Walmart in Collingwood. So that hunt is over.
