Colonel Hawk is a must. Budo too. 013 slowly being completed. 

@leor I think there are only 4 members left of the OG13 to be done in Classified.

Flash, Zap, Short-Fuze and Grand Slam (I think).

EDIT:  Missed Steeler.   So 5 remaining members to finish the OG13.  I can't imagine we'll have to wait much longer to finish them off.  Probably by the end of 2026 at the latest.

@canprime And hopefully so. I realize the 013 may not be everyones cup of tea, but to me getting them all in Classified form is really awesome. 

I’m a bit tempted to utilize that Col. Hawk as a Grand Slam stand in.  Hasbro doesn’t seem to rushing to get him done after all.

Glad to see they are going to be doing reveals all month.  Makes this stream less of a "huh that's all?"

Everything looks good, except Mercer looks too small.

Also I guess the Haslab is going to be the Snow Cat?  During Emily's little post credit reveal she mentioned the Haslab is kind of "chill" and there was what looked like snow falling on the Haslab logo.

If it’s the Snow Cat I think am good with that because if it was the Mobat or Mauler, I feel like I would be double dipping this year with the ramen tank incoming in Dec. 

Overall cool reveals. Yeah Mercer should be a little bigger. Bigger than Falcon at least. But as always I’ll be getting them all. 

@leor I wonder if Ramen releasing their tank caused the Haslab team to switch it up and go with the Snow Cat instead.  Like you said they probably didn't want to have a Mauler competing with Ramen's tank for big ticket prices.

The Snow Cat is a very different vehicle than a pair of tanks competing.

Sarge and Mercer look great. I never had this version of Slaughter so that's a cool bonus. Never had Mercer either, because I never saw that three pack in the stores when I was a kid. So double bonus. 

The dinky front wheels on the AWE Striker continue to suck the presence out of the entire vehicle. Such a bad design choice. 

WTF - Pulse keeps giving me an error message "due to high volume - please wait a few minutes and resubmit".

Grrr.

I tried changing the card being charged and got the same error message.   This is frustrating.

@panthercult Did you finally get an order in?  

Oh and a big old FUCK YOU to Amazon.ca and EBGames (Canada).   The MMS is $75US, just like the HMS.  EBGames recently got the HMS and is asking $97Cdn.  Online etailers in Canada (Toy Snowman, DJC Collectibles) are askIng $105Cdn for the MMS, which is sort of reasonable given the current trade climate (and exchange rate0.  Though I still think it is a bit high.  

Amazon.ca and EBGames??  Amazon.ca wants $140Cdn ($102US) and EBGames wants $143Cnd ($105US).  Not a chance in hell.  

EDIT: 

So DJC Collectibles has said that the actual price from Hasbro for Canada should be $105Cdn for the MMS, not the higher price point Amazon and EBGames are charging.  It was an error on Hasbro Canada's part apparently.   So hopefully they'll drop the price soon.

Four hours later, I'm still getting that message.

@canprime Perhaps. It is certainly feasible. I’ll just be happy if the Mobat or Mauler are next year. Snow Cat would be a fun mix up for me to order this year and mess with the ramen tank at the end of the year. Rattler inbound gonna be fun too. Now I just gotta worry about that Cold Slither set.

After hours of trying and failing over and over... I finally checked out using PayPal and that went through.   I didn't want to pay up front like that -  but I didn't want to miss out on the figures either, so I did what I had to.

I'm going to have to sell a kidney if the HasLab is the SnowCat... it's one of the few unskippable vehicles for me in this line.

@panthercult Good to hear.

I'm of two minds on the Snow Cat.   I keep flopping between wanting a toned down version that is "relatively" cheap (sub $300US), and a kitted out version (as mentioned in the leaks) that will probably cost an arm and a leg.   I am in either way, but still can't decide which version I would prefer.
