Exactly, just glad that he will eventually show up. Wonder if the delay is going to be seen in other classified figures.
I think it already has been seen.
We are almost into May, so basically a third of the year is already over and all we have seen so far this year is one wave (Falcon/Cover Girl, etc) and the Snake Eyes w/Timber repaint and the TF Duke w/RAM and the latest TF/PP in small amounts. All of which were shown last year, and some of them were released last year.
So far for this year all we have seen is the Shipwreck wave, but still no sign of them coming to retail before summer. After that, with the rate of release Hasbro seems to going with Classified we might only see one more wave before the end of the year. Granted there is the Scrap Iron w/Drone and the Walmart exclusives (Big Ben, Range Viper), plus whatever Con exclusives they reveal. So there is a bit of product coming up, but this is all stuff that probably won't see release until the second half of the year. That means, to me, at the rate they are going we might only see one more wave released this year, and the remaining TF/PP exclusives (Dusty, Crimson Guard). Maybe some more Walmart exclusives will get released this year from that leaked list since they have another collector con coming in the summer. Who knows.
Either way, it has really been a slow trickle, compared to say Marvel Legends, for releases this year. Good for the wallet, bad for keeping fan interest over the course of the year. What's interesting is they made a big deal of the fact they were switching from 3 to 5 figure waves this year, but we are still waiting a lot longer (seemingly) for releases compared to other Hasbro brands. Look at Transformers, they have easily had more than double the amount of product released this year so far compared to Joe.
