Thoughts on Classified and Retro lines?

Ok, now I'm mad.
I was already pissed about the CI exclusives and what a $#@+ show they were to collect. However I lucked out and got everything except the Cobra Trooper. I was fine with getting the Infantry instead.
Also Hasbro is apparently going to reissue some of the exclusives down the road. So I can be patient for army builders, and Firefly is nice, but the vest is a miss for the character in my opinion. So I can wait on him as well.
HOWEVER that Major Bludd that was just revealed, and is another CI exclusive is a different story. Not only is the figure a thing of beauty, but he was one of my favourite characters growing up. So this has pissed me off to no end. I hope I luck out, but if not I might cave and pay scalper prices.
DAMMIT HASBRO!!

I haven't looked at the movie line. I have zero interest in the movie.
Hasbro are a shitshow all around atm, from what I've seen my American SW-collecting buddy say.

Yeah toy lines in general are a disaster right now, not just Hasbro.
You should check the movie line you never know what might strike your fancy. I also saw the synopsis for the movie on YouTube (from someone at a screening). It sounds like a good movie, although it didn't sound like much of GI Joe movie. More like a Snake Eyes origin with a set up for a sequel with emphasis on GI Joe. Apparently a lot of great action sequences with a very Samurai feel for the setting. Sounds a little hyperbolic to me, but who knows.
Fingers crossed it is good and makes a sequel possible.

I recently saw on YouTube that someone on Facebook has files for 3D printing a 6" scale Skyhawk. It looks great, a near perfect copy of the original 3 3/4" version.
Apparently he is offering to either print it (not sure how much), or sell you the file for $20.

So it looks like we are finally getting the Alley Viper from the Classified back of the box art, and a BAT!!!!!!
If these are CI exclusives, and aren't sold in solid case packs, I expect Hasbro to be burned to the ground by the angry fanboy mobs.
