Already got a shipping notice for that September shipping CC "preorder" I got in early Tuesday morning.

I laugh at all of these newer collectors lamenting their lack of a con-exclusive that has gone up for on-line order on multiple occasions after the show and look over at my Marvel Legends shelf and the void where my Blastaar,  Satana or Hela should be.    

 

This con-exclusve world used to be an even colder and crueler place.   Consider yourselves lucky.

YMMV but: the butthurt of newer collectors over missing out on an SDCC exclusive seems a tad excessive. Especially such a wack-a$$ choice. I just re-watched the movie, and this CC figure is seriously not worth all the anguish.

 

Some people like to complain just to get the clicks and views because they know there are Hasbro haters who will watch out of some morbid sense of satisfaction. 

 

@justice I hope they learned their lesson, or else you might have to buy a second one. 😝

Those youtubers have to amp up the drama to get clicks.  (I'm at the point where I block those videos with the attention-getting, super-big emojis on the title icon.  It's all garbage).

Yeah, I'd have liked to have gotten a CC, but at the end of the day, these ARE SDCC exclusives and there was never a promise made that everyone would get one.  That's always been the nature of these things.  

@detectivehoag I'll do it! Maybe I'll even throw the parachute off the roof because they said not to.

CC had the preorder button available a minute ago. I tried adding to cart three times and got "something went wrong" after each click, then back to sold out after the fourth. Are figures up at random times?  I heard he was up last night too.

Whelp SDCC exclusives arrived today. Look great! The Snake Coco is in a premium box. It’s sweet. The figure is insane. Maul is cool. Deathshead is nice. I feel I got value here.

I remember those days of SDCC sadness not getting the exclusive I wanted. I’ll begrudge no one upset they missed out. I was also dogged in pursing what I wanted in 2ndary market. Sure I paid more. I was at peace with what I paid.

Thwipp!

I guess it's kind of old news but I opened Gnawgahyde and he's a lot of fun.  Gave him a tan Valaverse revolver, I do feel like every character unless they're ninja force should have a sidearm.  He just tucks it in his belt.  Didn't need the monkey or warthog, they're fun but I would have much preferred a $25 Gnawgahyde.  I do wish they'd use better boots than these old Roadblock boots, I'm still spinning them backwards just so he can lean forward a bit.

EDIT:  Gave his sniper rifle to Shooter, it looks great!  Also gave Shooter General Hawk's goggles, the small ones fit the slicked back hairstyle perfectly.

I'm behind on this, as always, but I just got Night Creeper today and good golly. Probably my favorite Classified figure that I've ever handled. Smooth joints, everything is properly tight but not overly. The colors are perfect and look amazing. Loads of weapon storage and cool weapons (i.e. they didn't skimp on including his vintage weapon assortment). Love the hands and I'm even kind of a big fan of the Ninja Force head in the classic colors. A big enough fan of it that I'm seriously considering whether I need more of these even though I SWORE to myself I would not army build anymore.

What a damn fantastic figure. Makes me feel worse that I'm so far behind on getting my must-haves. Next up is I gotta get the new Snow Serpent and Gnaw. Two more big childhood favorites just calling out to me.

@theknightdamien You’re right about the Night Creeper’s quality. Night Creepers were on my short list of must haves since day one, and the figure does not disappoint. I got mine last week and it’s a contender for classified figure of the year in my book. My only complaint is the swords dont stay locked in the backpack slots so well when I handle the figure. I’ll probably pick up a second one when I see it in the wild.

I didn't sleep well last night and woke up at 3 am and checked Pulse and Once a Man Cobra Commander was in stock for preorder.  I ordered him and he stayed in stock for a good while before going back out of stock.  I had been checking throughout the day and a few times instead of saying sold out it had said "low stock" but wouldn't allow you to add to cart so I feel like those times I had just missed a restock.

I'm thinking maybe these are cancelled orders, maybe from bots or people who tried to order 5 per order instead of 5 total?

I was put back how much I liked that figure. Don't know the vintage and only the 25th. Grabbed 6 of these and after opening 1, I questioned myself on buying more lol. The extra head I have no idea about, it's ok. Might use and make 1 a leader. Or do a custom and make a leader.

think it's a procedure to slow down sellouts. They don't want to upset the fans. Scalpers ruin things and they are aware of this. Super7 is the company that is really aware of this. They actually fight against it. Hasbro, well, this would be them trying and caring. S7 will just make more haha
