Are we getting a FANG? The artwork on the back of Snake Eyes would suggest it.

Amazon is screwing with my pre-order again. this time it is for the retro cobra viper. It starts with me pre-ordering an item, then 3 months later, I get a "your item is delayed" email, then about 2 weeks after it is sold out everywhere, Amazon will say "sorry we are canceling your order"

I loved the BACC in the 3.75" line and yes I wish he had an unmasked option. MonkeyWrench looks great, could have had more things that explode as accessories. And I missed out on Major Bludd, and refuse to pay secondary market price for him, so he is a welcome addition!
However I think my interest is starting to dry up. The number of exclusives, and the fact that if you don't pre-order you will miss out, and even if you do pre-order that isn't 100%.

I agree with everything you said about Zandar and SAW Viper, really enjoying those figures, Leatherneck didn't really stand out in anyway for me. Possibly becuase I never had him in the 3.75 when I was a kid. Nothing wrong with the figure at all, he just didn't POP for me. I am still waiting on Dialtone, I had my order with Amazon cancelled, and I am still waiting on Walmart to give me a shipping date.
Amazon sucks for pre-ordering - Dial Tone was the 4th figure that I pre ordered, and that they canceled after the shipping date.

SNAKE armor for the win. Televiper is also excellent.
Breaker is good, the divers are great.
Cover Girl - OK, Flint - OK I agree not much of a retro look.
Darkon and Slice & Dice are also OK.
The AWE Striker is flawed, it is the front tires, makes it look too much like a Toy and not a real world vehicle. It also appears to be a little to short length wise.

I could see 3rd party move in. I think this is just a toe in the water product.

I also get the impression that Hasbro Canada will become a thing of the past.

Dial-Tone, SAW Viper, wave has begun to show up for Pre-order on a consistent basis on Amazon. Haven't seen the three new Retro Cardback figures on Amazon yet.

General Joe Talk / Hasbro Rumours
« on: January 16, 2025, 11:07:43 AM »
I have been hearing rumblings through the grape vine that Hasbro isn't in a good place financially. They have changed they way suppliers can place orders, basically cash up front of pre-orders. I have heard from two reliable sources that if you are placing pre-orders on any upcoming waves go with a place like amazon, that doesn't ask for cash up front as the waves might not be fulfilled.
This totally sucks, but based on the recent public news from Hasbro about financial losses, mixed earning reports, and layoffs it isn't really shocking to hear.
Also why are they licensing all of their product to other companies? Short term gain and quick revenue?

Agreed on Road-Pig!! I am in Halton Hills and the last two walmart visits had the 60th Anniversary Sniper and ParaTrooper both swapped for other crap figures. The person at the return counter must be blind, or does give a crap (I assume the later). Best part was the box of the Sniper was beat up and damaged, but was still full price!

So I haven't seen any figure swapping at Toysrus recently, probably because they changed their return policy on action figures. Sadly Walmart is no the home of this scum. Power Ranger figures and discount Marvel Legends are what are being stuffed into Classified window boxes.
