@vicious7171 heh, you're right.
What's nice is, half the people involved asked why I kept buying the same thing, and completely agreed with my motivation. One even checked the price difference and said she would have too heh. Made me feel a little better. But yeah, if I can't stomach the return line in person, I won't chase discounts again.
The Walmart that I saw 30+ Falcon Quarry 2 packs whittled down to about 10 a few days ago at the $19.99 price. I am actually headed back there later for some shopping and will be wondering how many are left.
Man, I wish, my local Walmart hasn't had any Classified since before Thanksgiving. They only have two slots left for the Retro which has, you guessed it, been empty.
@vicious7171 by the way, every time I see your name, I think of the Lou Reed song.
Walmart customer service cannot prove they received one of the returns (the one with three sets on it), so they told me to call my credit card and have the bank dispute the charge. So... uh... sure. So I called the bank immediately after and their customer service guy laughed, "They'd rather go this way than just refund you? Alright, fine, let's do it," like his stomach has been growling for a charge dispute all morning. He got me fired up like no customer service agent ever has. It was kinda great.
Well, I'm glad you both were talking about this sale. I had purchased my sets at full price so after returning the sets, you guys saved me over $100. 👍@vicious7171 by the way, every time I see your name, I think of the Lou Reed song.

The Walmart had zero two packs left. Only took less than a couple of weeks to finally clear out. Really was a good deal at $20.
It's not really a nice action picture for that thread, more like a collection shot, just feel like sharing my Tiger Force shelf now that I finally picked up RB+Tripwire:
I like to think Outback is the leader of this group. He pushes Tiger Force members through hell to harden them up in preparation to fight the Dreadnoks. Dusty was abducted by Road Pig (in reality I just don't like the figure so he's tied up in their display) and Wreckage is teamed up with Desert Snake Eyes and Doc. I wouldn't turn down more of these guys but I'm also pretty happy with this display as-is. Would absolutely buy a real TF Snake Eyes with Tiger Pants or whatever.
@vicious7171 Great display! Love the action pose on the bike.
I'm pretty happy with Tiger Force so far (they did a great job recreating the OG figures) so the only original TF figure I'm holding out hope for is Lifeline since I don't see them making Ace. I did pick up the Super7 ReAction Tiger Force Snake Eyes and Scarlett during the holidays and honestly... would love to get them. Not sure we will so I'm not getting my hopes up but they are REALLY fun designs even if SE looks like he's in his tiger pajamas.
I would like to see Classified complete the international Tiger Force figures like Airtight and Shipwreck (with long sleeves), and then also do those “new” characters from Python Patrol that were released in South America. The collectors club did a bunch of these in 3 3/4 several years ago and I’d love to see them in 6inch scale. It would also be cool to delve into the nuPython Patrol from the 2000s with Major Bludd, SAW-Viper, etc.

Saw Viper in Python Patrol colors boosts his doctor killing powers by 47%
I did the thing where I swapped bits between the two Python Patrol officers so that one is all grey and black and the other is extreme Python Patrol.
I've got such a soft spot for Python Patrol - I've mentioned before the two Cobra officers are my Rosencrantz and Gildenstern of Cobra, completely baffled by the team's hierarchy and just trying to live through the day. I didn't want them before, but I got the ReAction Python CC, Destro, and Baroness and wouldn't say no to those repaints.
I forgot Airtight was on TF too. He was always one of my favorites - I'd buy him normal and TF repaints easily.
@docsilence I know you've mentioned this before but ever since I read it again last night, I've been passively obsessed with my own damned Rosencrantz & Guildenstern. I'm leaning more toward guys who are closer to the generic Cobra troops/pilots, so probably the scrap iron body with no vest or holster. Blue jumpsuit, cobra symbol on one shoulder, masked faces... maybe some harnesses, maybe helmets. Lowest rung, could barely afford the jumpsuits etc. Not sure such a silly idea deserves the shelf space, since I usually get a figure I like then come up with the backstory and this is going the other direction.
@ru1977 Ideas like that makes me wish this line did more with alt heads. Easier to do parts swaps to customize characters like some other lines do.
I think canonically Bazooka and Alpine are GI Joe's Rosencrantz and Gildenstern.
Unrelated, got Leatherneck, Zandar, and SAW yesterday. Leatherneck is such a fun figure but mind has a spot of paint his nose, looks like a bit of paint from his five o'clock shadow. gotta figure out how to get the smudge off.
