A vehicle would be nice... but something more manageable than a giant snake spaceship (cool though, but expensive and spacing consuming). A BET? Another Mass device? A cardboard gi joe pit? I can take anything at this point. Oring joes is just great to have and nostalgia is a powerful thing. Reaction made me appreciate my old joe collection again.

Nice article on Mike T forgotten figure:

Finally have Dial-Tone!  Also was able to acquire Hawk with MMS, and the Slaughter, Mercer two pack.  So far I have only opened Diat-Tone.

They all look good, except for Snake Eyes.   Just like Arctic CC the legs look ridiculous with the attempt to mimic the bottom of the coat.   Pythona and Big Lob look good, but I think Destro is the best of the lot.

Shame about the price increase since the line started out at the $20US (approx.) price.   $25US (over $30Cdn) is an automatic pass.   Can't see this line lasting too long at that price when I think you get a better value from other lines at the 6" scale. 

I would like to see Super7 tackle another vehicle if possible.  Preferably something never done before, or something that could use an updated release.   Nothing stupid expensive though like their attempt at the Cobra flying fortress.

I don't get the appeal of Big Lob at all. Does he get fan service just because he didn't have a figure back in the day?
Aesthetics - he's boring, personality - none.
I know its cartoon movie based but still. EASY pass.
Curious that his jersey is number 14 (same as Bazooka) there must be a connection that I'm not aware of. Anyone?

Pythona - I'd be curious on how the hair looks at the back. Can she be seated in vehicles ? I'd buy this though.

Snake Eyes - I get what they were trying to do with Arctic Snake Eyes coat, but he' looks like he's wearing shorts. Pass

Destro - looks pretty good.  His head looks like a chromed Charles Xavier or Lex Luthor. ? Best of the bunch in my opinion.

Ah man! They did it again! Now Pythona (and BIG LOB!!!) My wallet hurts, in a good way!

Found all but Major Bludd today at a local Walmart.   They had the wave (Monkeywrench, SE v4, BA Cobra Commander) minus Bludd in a special hanger display at the back of one of the aisles near the Legos. 

Nice to see some new Classified product on the shelves at Walmart.   

Took Monkeywrench and BA:CC.   Both are great figures and top tier Classified in my opinion.

Toy Snowman also has the set now (still less than EB Games):

We have Canadian options to get Steeler & Short-Fuze. I got my set here:

https://mapleandmangoes.ca/collections/toys/products/g-i-joe-classified-series-181-ralph-steeler-pulaski-short-fuze

It was $2 less than EB Game/Gamestop. I also ordered the Legacy Police officer.

I always use their Chest option to pile stock to get free shipping.

Steeler and ShortFuse went up for pre-order on pulse and almost instantly sold out.  Once again, the exclusives and limited release is making it difficult to stick with Classified.  DialTone, I am looking at you!

Found and bought the retro Dr. Mindbender, Rock N Roll, and Cobra Viper at a Gamestop/EB in Halton Hills yesterday (or whatever they want to call themselves nowadays).  I would have gotten the classified Major Bludd but meh, this figure does nothing for me.
