Just put my pre-orders in for Trench Viper and Heavy Duty.  I should be able to pick up the Iron Grenadier this week, and then hopefully my wallet can get a break until the new year.

Has anyone heard an estimated arrival date for the Dragon Fly?

I know a guy that orders directly from Hasbro Canada,  I have been using him since almost the beginning of the Classified series.  He is local to me (literally walking distance) and his prices are fantastic, cheaper than most retailers once tax is factored in.  And he has been able to set me up with the exclusives as well.

Along with IG Bat, Alpine, and Storm Shadow V2, I picked up Star Duster.
The bat is more of the same.
Alpine is awesome, and Storm Shadow is probably my fav out of the group.

Star Duster is a disappointment for me.  The Jet Pack barely fits and I was surprised to find that the extra head isn't a helmet like Clutch, but a replacement head.  I don't feel like I am getting anything for the extra cost of this figure.  The cut out cereal box is my favourite part.

I would have preferred the Polar Battle Bear, over an actual Polar Bear.  I will probably get this set, and will be annoyed that I over paid because it comes with a bear.

When it rains it pours - making me poor.  So last week it was Road Pig, Retro Trooper and the walmart 2 pack.  This week I have IG Bat, Alpine and Storm Shadow V2 waiting for me to pick up, another $120 out the door.

The extra heads did nothing for me.  The open mouth reminds me of Sloth from the goonies - "Hey you guys" and I originally thought the boars head was a mask, and not a separate head.  I would agree the updated boars head hammer was an interesting addition/update to the original figure.
I am on the fence if I want the Classified line to simply be up-sized versions of the ARAH figures, or do I want modern takes on those classic characters.  I think I am happiest when they fall somewhere in between.

Road Pig as a figure is great - didn't need any of the accessories other than the cinder block on a stick, I feel like the heavier price tag was for all of the extras that are going into a box to never be seen again.
Monkey Wrench and Thrasher - where are you?

I hear you about the spending.  I just picked up two retro Cobra Troopers and the Walmart 2 night force 2 pack.  I should have Road pig by the weekend.  Crazy how quickly the $ adds up.

Anyone grab any classified figs from the Amazon Prime sale?  I got an extra Eels and Snow Serpent for ~$25.

I picked up Raptor on the weekend - the figure is fine, the accessories are fine, the update from the ARAH original is very well done. But...
this is the first Classified figure that I have purchased that I just don't care about.  And the fact he was a more expensive "deluxe" figure probably adds to the Meh feeling I have towards it.   
The best part about GIJoe is there is enough variety that allows for something for everyone, but I can confirm, this one is not for me.
I also passed on the troop two pack Steel Brigade and Twilight Guard.

Got my "confirm your address" email for the Dragonfly!  Should arrive before the end of the year - fingers crossed.
