I picked up Serpentor w/Air Chariot yesterday at Gamestop.

The $132Cdn (after tax) price was not fun.

However it is an amazing set, and the Joe team did a great job with him.  The size, colours, and details are all outstanding.  Plus he is absolutely massive.  Serpentor has to be the tallest Classified figure to date.  He towers over Gung Ho and Roadblock. 

The details of the sculpt are great, and the cape has a scaly look sewn into it, not just printed on.  The accessories are also wonderful with a lot of nice touches and nods to the cartoon. 

Overall it is a great set, but the pricing is worrying for future releases, especially the Trouble Bubble w/Televiper next year.

Good gravy! I hope you guys all have good paying jobs. Glad for you that its amazing at least.

Honestly before prices get even worse I would love if they did the Night Raven.

I think it would do well in the Haslab format, and they could really do it justice with the necessary updates, and modern touches.

The Hydrofoil and Rattler would also be great, but I really think if they do another 3.75" Haslab I would prefer the Night Raven as a counter to the Skystriker, instead of the Rattler.  Even though the Rattler is probably more iconic.

I think they clearly go for iconic first. I agree night raven is way better. I don't see boats happening for awhile.

wich is totally strange consider the HasLab skystriker was a success.

But probably not the figures themselves. Vehicles are good. I hope we can get a few more vehicles. I expect a Rattler next year as counter to the awe striker we're getting (they just need to make it a little bigger)

Big ben is a welcome addition,  the femail trooper two pack will hopefully be under $100.
And hopefully none of them are store exclusives.   Too many exclusives and impossible to find figures can easily kill a line.

i can't believe i live in a time where i can hear the words '...that the female trooper pack will hopefully be under $100' and realize we are not talking vintage figures. My mind can not comprehend the cost of collecting nowadays.

i thought the SE with timber (commando version) looked pretty sweet.  I've actually been quite impressed overall for most of the figures despite owning none of them. For him i was super tempted, but then remembered I still needed both my arms and legs and decided not too.

I looked at these in TRU on Thanksgiving and they look very nice in card however i just can't get past the lack of articulation. This would be a line I would have to leave in package. Its sad because I really want a crew for my flagg.

So did anyone get in on the HISS Tank Haslab?

I did and I am glad I did, but the wait is going to be killer.  Hopefully they'll get the poll out soon on which HISS Tactician colour we can vote on because I'm all about the black and red design.

Did they ever get this poll going? Curious to what the collectors want to see.

99% sure I won't get these, but i love that this could be easy civilian figures. Don't care about zombies. Never been a fan of that.
If only I had more disposable income and space to put it I'd go for a couple of these just to get the suits

Ninjas are only human. Don't believe everything you read in comic-books.
- Bodycount, 2022.

that information was spread by ninjas so as to confuse and disguise their true powers. Making you think to lightly of their skills and unnatural abilities. I totally saw Storm Shadow make a tank fall apart with just a few kicks, punches and a few shakes. I can't recall any other human doing so...besides Chuck Norris.
