I am sure ToysRus is happy too, I purchased one, opened it before I left the store only to find it was victim to a figure swap.  The employee, rolled their eyes and said, yeah this happens all the time.

The art was great - but knowing there is something in the box is by far more important, especially know that TRU has put a no returns/exchanges policy on on all Action Figures.

The price sucks as it is all reissued product, but I am with you, I will pay it as it isn't going to get any cheaper and will sell out.

I agree, I prefer this over the Tiger Force version, and considering it was a pain in the arse to get the original with Breaker. I don't mind seeing another repaint.

Same goes for a blue Flight pod.

I am just glad they didn't try and go animation accurate for the colours.  He is unrecognizable in the cartoon compared to his toy.

Considering he didn't get a second figure until the 2000's, makes me think we won't see another version, and if it wasn't for the Dragonfly, I don't think we would have got him this early in the Classified line.

Sadly no Metalhead this week, it was the 60th Sailer/Diver.  I don't think I will be picking up the 60th figs, the only thing I really like is the gear they come with, but the price is way more than I would be willing to pay.

Airborne is great.  I had a very hard time geting him out of the plastic tomb!
Green googles- where do they go?  Night vision spcs that fit onto the helmet don't work or look proper.  And I wish the shovel on the backpack was removable.

Everything else about the figure is excellent.  I love the "reflective" glasses,  box art shows clear plastic, but these will look great once he is inside the Dragonfly.

When I picked him up, I was also informed that Metalhead should be arriving next week too.

Will be picking up Aireborne today, looking forward to him.  Can't wait for the others from this wave.

I grabbed Megatron and Bumblebee, and there are OK - love the retro figures on cards.  I held off on the Thundermachine as it did have a bigger price tag.  I am still not 100% sure if I will pick it up,  I think I am more inclined to direct my money to Masterpeice TF's as well as classified.

Agreed, the colour choice of the mauraders was never my favourite.  I do like the idea of them being in a two pack - hopefully with a lower price point than buying two individual figures.   Strange that Slaughter still comes with his "mini-me" figure.

Also I really hope Torch's sunglasses are not a hot mess like Ripper and Buzzer's are.

Agreed - I think Doc looks the best!  The pill bottles on his helmet are a fantastic touch.  Removable vest for those that want a more original look.  Torch has coloured tattoos!  The other are also great looking, the two pack of repainted figures is going to be on the pricier side, I hope a regular release and not a store exclusive.
