Thoughts on Classified and Retro lines?

Wreckage and the Tiger Paw look OK, I am in for 1 of these repaints.
I hope they fix the sloppiness of the Firefly mold.
Pete The Greek:
The classified line still remains way too expensive to keep up. If you are a completist, good luck.
Not amused that TRUs prices went back up. It was the only place around me that had a Techno Viper and Shockwave on the shelves. Bought both but wasn't happy with the prices.

Yeah I had to bite the bullet yesterday to get the Python Patrol Trouble Bubble because I was waiting for a sale on Pulse. However it is no longer listed on Pulse and got clearanced in the US at Target. So I had to either wait and hope for a good deal on the secondary market, or just bite the bullet at TRU. Thankfully I had a $20 off $100 coupon so I picked up something else and saved a little bit.
Amazon still has the Techno Viper for regular retail.
Also Gamestop has the Tiger Paw w/Wreckage up for preorder right now. I thought Python Patrol and Tiger Force were TRU exclusives up here, but it looks like other places are getting the chance now as well. Which works out for me because it is a bit cheaper thanks to the Edge card discount and actually being able to preorder to guarantee a copy (hopefully) compared to hoping to find one in a TRU.
akpayne:
The increase in prices at TRU is insulting. It isn't like the stock is flying off their shelves. And with the current case assortment of a single figure per case, there are going to be some serious peg warmers. They need to learn how to discount and move stale merchandise. Target is the king in the US at getting older peg warmers to fly off the shelf.
