OK... so after opening up my Mad Marauders Spirit and Low Light 2-pack and having them join Barbecue and with Sarge on the way soon (I think) - it made me go look at who else we'd need to fill out that Mad Marauders faction.
From the original gang we still need Footloose and Mutt - so hoping we see those guys come along in 2025.
But then, in 2011 there was a Slaughter's Marauders Battle Set that included Barbecue, Low Light and Spirit, but added 4 new faces to the faction. Falcon is the only one of those 4 left to do that wore the green and blue color scheme that matches the one's that have made it into Classified so far. So, that's the one I'd expect next in line - but he did just get a Night Force version, so maybe they'd wait a little longer. Although - if they wanted to get that updated "apology" head sculpt for Falcon into the main line as not an exclusive I guess they could do the Mad Marauders version of Falcon as a single release in a wave of main line releases...
As for the rest of that group - Red Dog, Bull and Mercenary - I am wondering if they decide to do them in their original outfits - the white and red football jersey, the orange and red shirts, tan pants - or if they bring them closer in line with the theme color of the group and color them in green and blue like they did with the repaints of those 3 released in 2018.
Anyway - having the 3 I've got (and one on the way) makes me hopeful that they'll deliver the other 6 figures to complete this sub-faction.
Do we think there's a chance Hasbro would look to expand the faction with an original character or by including someone in the sub-faction that wasn't previously? Like, look guys - it's Mad Marauders Glenda!
I'm willing to bet all sub-factions will be getting "new" (i.e. repainted) figures. Maybe Mad Marauders will start going the Night Force route by having MM versions before the regulars. Quarrel already started that.
As for Taurus/Mercer/Red Dog - I'm sure we'll get both versions.
See, now I fell down a rabbit hole and am finding out about Joe Con exclusives from the faction like Hardball and Sgt. Smasher...
I gotta stop.
FWIW, I heard deleting your address completely and doing it over again fixes the phone number issue moving forward. I'm sure it's no consolation now but just a heads up to peeps moving forward. I'm going to do mine right now.
@vicious7171 I’ll do that as well. Hopefully Hasbro announces a third and fourth try later. I wouldn’t even mind if the batch comes at the end of the year or early next so as long as we can get it.
@vicious7171 Yeah the new site is bonkers (that's being polite).
I have my address listed 3 times in the saved addresses section and they are all the exact same address, but for some reason it will only accept the last entry as a proper address. If I try the first two, again the exact same as the third, it tells me to try the third one.
The phone number is another pain in the butt. Being in Canada it, for some reason, keeps having my number correct, but the country code (1) is in the US and I then have to pick Canada (same country code - 1).
All these little things that never seem to save when corrected make it a chore to order, especially an exclusive. Lucky for me I was right there waiting before 11am and somehow managed to get a CC in the short window.
I'm not even sure what I do for my phone number when that issue happens, it seems sometimes I put it in just as it has and it decides to accept it after i try three times. Lame.

Between the black screen in their site, my phone screen and the sun and all the dumb info made me miss out. Oh well. It was a cool figure but not a necessity.
Now that I got a Tiger Paw, it makes me even more irritated I missed the ferret. I hope it comes back soon in some way shape or form. I know, apply that new pre-order method they are using for the Marvel Legends Dragon Man.
So it turns out Gamestop Canada did get some stock of the SDCC exclusives, well some of them anyway, and CC went up for preorder yesterday (sold out quickly of course).
However I am going to go into my local store today and see if I can get a second one preordered (they usually open in store preorders the next day if they have the stock). Just in case my one from Pulse flakes out for some reason.
I had CC in my cart just now, he was gone by the time I jumped through their hoops.
Man, I'm glad I decided ahead of time I didn't want CC (as cool as I think he is), I'd be ripping my hair out by now.

Eh, not me. Honestly, while I was 1.) resetting my password 2.) entering in all my personal info for a second time 3.) trying to figure out why they wouldn't take my phone number that I typed in correctly, I was telling myself, "This isn't going to go through. Oh well, that means I'm saving $50". I was correct.
I only want this guy because that GI Joe Movie was a huge childhood staple (regardless of the fact that it was all downhill after that kick-ass intro) and there is no other version of CC in this form in 3.75" or 6". I think he's unique in that regard.
