I wonder if this will just be a one and done thing for the "retro" line this year or if they plan to offer more figures in 2021 if these sell well. With just Destro, Roadblock and Scarlett rumored for the 2nd (and possibly final) wave of 2020, it's surprising they are neglecting to include leaders like Duke and Cobra Commander.

I would've preferred o-rings. The Star Wars TVC releases of slightly improved versions of figures I already have haven't excited me and these don't either. Plus the Retaliation designs of SE and SS were more classic. The cards are less accurate than the 25th line but still look good. But the mismatched SE art is stupid...now if they do a 1982 SE, they have to re-use this card art.
The best thing is the retro vehicle boxes. Those look insane. Too bad we didn't get those for all the vehicles during the 25th line. The HISS Driver and Crankcase seem like they might be more meaningful improvements to the 25th figures than the 3 carded figures. That new Classified CC is an absolutely garish monstrosity. Definitely looks like another Classified figure that popped out of the 1990s neon hell era. And they still can't give us a hooded CC? Why not? This is the kind of figure that is probably going to push a whole new wave of collectors away from the Classified line. It's hard to justify having something that ugly and with no connection to the classic figures or the canon in your collection even if you're a completist. |

I love how Hasbro is seemingly doing everything they can to piss this worthless dunce off. I hope they continue to do the opposite of everything he says.

Well, I was able to get 6 Hiss Tanks, 4 for me and 2 for a friend. I have enough of those Snake Eyes and Storm Shadow figures. I am mainly looking for a crankcase, though. I am fine with the retro line, but would like see more of the rarer type of figures.

Nabbed a HISS Tank, mostly for the updated driver. The HISS Driver has always been one of my favorite designs and it'll be nice to have a better-looking one without a holster the size of a fucking lunchbox jutting out from his thigh.
I wouldn't mind a second HISS Driver, actually, but not enough to buy a second Tank. If anyone is ordering multiples and wants to unload one of their HISS Drivers, PM me.

Is it me or are the cards bigger than the typical (25th etc)?

LOL, I only planned on buying 3. I wanted to keep one in the box. Then keep the drivers from the other two and sell the tanks. I bought a 4th one for my buddy in the Netherlands. He wanted a 2nd one, but I got his message too later. So, in order to get free shipping I just bought two more. I do plan on selling two Hiss Tanks, though. So, you can call me a scalper if you want, but doesn't bother me. Also, might be a different story if they weren't sold out, but these are still in stock.

Will get Snake Eyes and Storm Shadow for the packaging and a loose HISS Driver at some point, but today's reveals were pretty meh.
