@ru1977 I think the samples that we were seeing that people assumed would be a retro release was this Target version.
Anyone know why the date for Cover Girl et all is so far away? October is seven months away! I know Hasbro usually delivers two months early but this feels SO far off! I'm a casual Classified fan so is there that much stuff already announced between now and then to fill the gap?
So there has been a bit of weirdness with the Classified ship dates... originally when the line that we just received in hand went up for order it was listed as shipping in September of this year... and that obviously wasn't true. But also there was some scuttlebutt about some factory issues delays in production schedule or something that pushed back reveals and so there may well be a gap in product delivery that's bigger than we've typically been accustomed to.

I am sorry to whoever it was, I don't remember, but earlier in this thread it was discussed that the samples were possibly two different figures, both of Breaker, and he was getting both the Mass Device version and another that was assumed to be retro. I don't know how true it is, just remember it was discussed here.
Anyone receive Dial Tone from Pulse yet? I ordered him at the same time as the rest of the wave, and the Marvel Secret Wars wave, and I've received all of those already. Star Wars Black Series Xizor is also in that order with no movement.
@panthercult I don't see Breaker getting a 3rd release, unless he's on a subteam like Tiger Force. There's no way he's popular enough to get another regular figure. We'll likely get a 2nd version of Dial-Tone before we get a 3rd Breaker.
I don’t see that happening with the characters that already look like their original counterparts. Shipwreck, Bazooka, Quick Kick, Hawk, the Dreadnoks, Low Light… I doubt they’ll be retro carded because they’re already retro as is.
I ordered the polar bear set and 2 firefighters on Amazon. I'd like a couple more firefighters, but I can play the long game on sales for more of them. They'll be great for DC, Marvel and plenty of other displays with heroes and city damage.

And if they do the art like how Flint's is, then MOC collectors may stay away as well.
Mindbender is a Walmart collector con figure, going up 10 a.m. EST next Thursday. *throws hands in the air* WALLLMAARRRRRRT
Edit: How did I not know Crystal Ball's real name is Richard King mashing up Stephen King and Richard Bachman? I knew King and his son kind of created the character but that's hilarious.
