Got my fingers crossed these are not exclusives because I'm so tired of GI Joe Classified being the nicest toys you can't buy. Having to get all my figures from sites because just about all I ever see in stores is empty pegs or once in blue moon one lonely figure on the shelf.
Walmart and Target are basically grocery stores that run an electronics business on the side (or clothing in the case of Target). I seriously doubt Classified figures will ever be plentiful in the majority of their locations (much like truly desirable Star Wars figures or Transformers are never just sitting on pegs day after day).

I've probably said this too many times, but what's the problem with getting Classified from Amazon, Pulse, or other online sites (if you're still paying retail)?

On one hand, I'm happy Lady Jaye's "new" design remains so faithful to the vintage original. However, I must admit she sorta feels a bit bland (drab earth tones, high-waisted pants, etc). Although that hideous pin-headed video game version may be subconsciously biasing me against her.
I'm guessing most people here probably disagree, but her sculpt could really benefit from some additional futuristic-ish details, imo. As long as the designers don't take things too far (a la Scarlett). Plus I'd much prefer all her armored parts be silver. Oh, and hopefully she comes with some new version of that "power launcher-thing" (to fire her recycled spears from). Not sure why the females are always stuck with such low-tech weaponry. (Well, I am, actually, but that still doesn't make it right.) Watching the end of The Full Force gameplay vid tho, he goes through some of the design sheets showing the different concept designs, and on the right, we can see an illustration of her, that looks more finished, with a strap and knife on her chest. Frankly, I think that middle design looks pretty cool. Even seems to have an armored vest of some kind. Maybe they can do it as an "urban assault" LJ in Classified. I'll buy any and all Lady Jayes ;) Also the cut scenes I'd like to see some silver tech bits on her too. Maybe like Gung Ho. Also, I want her to come with a spring loaded spear launcher Seriously they could do some cool spring fired weapons, they did cool ones for Sigma 6.

By the way, the Flint Lady Jaye and Major Bludd wave...before or after the Zartan wave? Do they mean, this wave is next AFTER everything we've already seen, or...what is the order of Classified now! Are these the April or June 2021 wave? Zartan is March 2021 right, so...what is happening.

Chillax bro. Its most likely the wave after the one we just saw. Maybe a wave before the movie one? Or they could just come out whenever as these things do.

Target was dry goods before groceries. It just started doing the grocery thing hard core like 5 years ago give or take.

While I'm not in love with the look of the cutscenes, at least Lady Jaye appears properly proportioned. However, during the actual gameplay, her head is tiny, and her lower body seems huge. EDIT: Removed nonsensical cheapshot (aimed at my neighbor) written while I was stoned out of my mind.

I've been lucky and had no quality control issues but I could see how that could be a worry. |

It feels like a lot of casual has been taken out of the hobby. No impulse buy because you saw something in the store and it looked better in person than in the photos. Just feels stressful when you have to worry about will you get an order in on time.
