So, Amazon just updated me that retro Cobra Commander and retro Stalker along with Action Marine will be arriving at my door within the hour.  

 

CHIP Raptor Talon is scheduled to show up on Monday 

 

While retro Cobra Trooper and Road Pig will cruise in now the following week on the 18th.

Just noticed the Tiger Paw is on sale on the website for $38.49 but out of stock. Which means if you can actually find it in stores and that Target is participating in the clearance, it’s highly likely to be priced at $27.49 in store similar to the Tiger Force Roadblock and Tripwire 2 pack being half off at some Targets.

How can you even get it to come up on-line at Target's site?    When I search for it I get other Classified product but not it's listing at all.     Anybody have a direct link to the page?

 

 

Really wish I could find one man it's been so frustrating.

Depending on if you are using phone or laptop, it’s usually in the filter options to check the box to show out of stock items.

I could access the Tiger Paw through the recently viewed items in the search bar and while the TP page was working this afternoon, it's not now. It just says the item is unavailable.

What a joke this was. Saw one a couple days before the release date, was street-dated and that was the end of that.

I actually went back after work and picked up the Tiger Paw I saw on my break. It was actually still there to my slight surprise. Looks like a slow collector visit day at that Target. Anyhow, the bloody thing ran up full price so it wasn’t on half off clearance. The TF Roadblock and Tripwire 2 packs were still full price also at this Target. The good news was they price matched the online clearance sale and sold it at $38.49 plus tax. So if you find these and it’s still full price, have them match the online sale at least while it lasts.

Was doing some work and still had the Target page open, refreshed on a whim and it's back working but TP is sold out. Weird.

Amazon orders, accounts are set to only show your past three months. You would have to select 2024 to see all your orders you have past that three months. I've missed a couple of orders that way and one was the Holocomm Collection Darth Vader and the Emperor Palpatine and Throne.

Speaking of Amazon, it looks like they're going to get me with another delay on the day a Classified should be delivered.  No sure why this seems to happen moreso with Joes than any of my other preorders.  It's 6am and CC hasn't shipped.  Doubt Raptor will arrive tomorrow.  Raptor should be okay from Pulse for next week, but I have no other CC preorders.

I just noticed mine says 2513. Walmart trolling us now, but jokes on them, I'm gonna freeze myself, meet a woman that looks like Erin Gray after thawing out in the 26th century, and get my Quarrel/Falcon set.

This made me snort laugh! Erin Gray was it back in the day. I had a mad crush on her!

 

She was definitely one of the women of the 80s for me.   It's funny I have been watching reruns of Silver Spoons lately since they are playing on a local channel.

Just curious to see where people are at with Classified.

I've fallen behind a bit again.   Recently got Doc and Torch, but still need to get Jinx and Night Creeper.   I have been trying to limit my preorders this year but I still have a few.   Retro Beachhead just came in to Gamestop so I have to pick him up.  Retro Cobra Trooper is due soon from DJC Collectibles and Retro Cobra Commander is on preorder from Amazon.ca.   I also have Starduster, IG, IG BAT and NF Falcon/Quarrel on preorder.

After that everything else is on wait and see when it gets a release, or pick it up sooner or later.   That means Jinx, Night Creeper, Retro Stalker, Road Pig, Raptor, V2 Storm Shadow, Alpine, and now Dial-Tone, Leatherneck, SAW Viper and Zandar.   Oh and MM Sarge.  

After the curb stomping my wallet took last month I am surprised I am not further behind.   However Classified is the line I am most focused on, and try to collect most of the line.   So I'm sure now that things are slowing down with the other lines I collect (yeah right), I can focus on catching up a bit more.

How about you guys?

I think it was the other thread, but I said I have a half dozen released figures to catch up on, then I have three I'm hoping they release (retro Bludd, IG Destro, and the Night Viper) as the end of my 'must haves due to nostalgia'. Anything after that is just gonna be what seems neat.

I'm skipping a lot of releases.  Currently Jinx, Night Creeper, maybe Doc.  There's a number of reasons why, but overall I'm just being more picky than before.  I'll consider them along with Marine Sniper and Road Pig on sale.  The next figures in my hands will likely be Retro CC and Trooper, HALO jumper, Falcon/Quarrel, and the Dragonfly.  After that are the black/gold/red BAT and Zandar. 

I don't think there's anything else we've seen that I'm in a rush to buy.  It's not like the other figures are bad but I'm at the point where if something looks less interesting than my average Classified figure, I'm going to pass.  I can't just keep throwing $25+ at whatever they reveal. 

They can do a lot better on ninja figures regarding articulation.  Night Creeper should be able to hunch forward more than 5 degrees.  I'm also wanting modernized/future war versions of figures, guys like Doc, more than I want retro looks.  I don't want to start a "retro looks" shelf for figures that look outdated next to the primary Joe forces.  Already made that "mistake" with Shipwreck.

double post but yo joe jerk has a review of the Falcon/Quarrel set:

Main takeaway here is that Falcon's head is a clean swap with the old figure if that's something you're interested in.  I find it funny how new Falcon looks childlike while old Falcon looks, well, old.  IMO they should have just dropped the look entirely and tried over. 

Both Falcon heads look bored and don't want to be around anymore.  Give the guy some emotion!  At least give him a furrowed brow so he looks focused, like all the best Classified sculpts.

I was wondering if they could've gotten by with new paint apps for Falcon.  Now it's like a completely different person.

Besides the Rattler, my skips are Corps/TW Guard, Retro Zartan, Retro Eel, PD Destro, Supreme CC, and the Marauders (I may or may not a have BBQ).  What I have done is chilled on buying things from Canada or overseas.

Amazon pushed my CC from today to 10/11. Next in the queue to push out is Raptor.
