Got a delayed shipping notification from walmart.ca. No new time frame for delivery on Shooter, Crimson AV, or Mole Rat.

Got my Firefly from amazon. And sure enough his chest is floppy and loose. That I can live with. What really bummed me out was the silencer won't stay attached to his gun in any position other than shooting straight up. Do I glue it in place? Do I try to add some furniture wax?
Also got LowLight, and he is a great figure, but what is the purpose of the gun case backpack peg holes? I tried the gun case on his back, and the backpack pegged into it, and that looks insanely stupid.

It was this commercial that made me want the twins back in the day.

I had the crimson set in my hands, but ended up not buying it. I would have really only wanted the baroness as I think the paint on her looks amazing. I agree with you on the accessories, they really had a chance to make this set truly unique other than the colouring. If they had done any of the things you mentioned, I probably would have broke down and purchased the set.
Still have my fingers cross for a good Crimson Twin Two pack that reminds me of the original figs... and a Cobra Ferret!

That Vamp is a must buy for me. It and the RAM and Breaker were the first Joe vehicles/figures.
The dollar sucks at the moment, but I am hoping the guy I use who brings them in directly from Hasbro will have them for around $180 canadian, of course unless the dollar totally tanks.

« on: October 26, 2023, 02:56:07 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.

Toysrus at Argentia has Grunt, Tunnel Rat and the Steel Corps two packs. All at regular prices, $35 and $75.

I agree with everything you said about tripwire, great figure but most of the extra bits are just going into a storage bin, never to be seen again. The extra items that came with SnowJob made sense and he could carry them, so the higher price wasn't as noticable.
My Grunt didn't have an issue with bent accessories, so I lucked out.

Wow did not know that. It makes the idea of buying a figure at retail unappealing.

Just had my first experience of a figure swap in one of the cardboard boxes. Picked up the Vypra figure from Toysrus at argentia in Mississauga. Inspected the tape and box for vandalism, only to get it home and find a Marvel Legends Mantis figure inside with no accessories.
When I returned, the employee informed me that they are aware of the issue and it is a common occurrence.

Soooo tempted by this. It would make a great diorama set.

If anyone cares, Snow Serpents are back in stock on amazon (they cancelled my pre-order only to then relist them a week later)
