There have been no shipping bill of lading leaks recently, so there most likely are no further Retro figures for the rest of the year. Who knows if they will continue the line? Maybe Walmart stopped buying them, so they are trying to find a new buyer. With the Roboskull and Eagle Force, my 1/18 scale figure demand is being filled!!!

I love having official GI Joe figures, but Hasbro just doesn't seem that interested. And the Joe homages from Eagle Force and Marauder are really starting to be enough for me. I'm more excited about getting the Red Shadows from Eagle Force and Marauder than trying to brave a Wal Mart to try and find a Retro Joe. I'll buy whatever 1/18th offering Hasbro manages to produce, but I'm slowly moving to a place where I don't care if Hasbro makes 1/18th Joes. And that statement is like blasphemy for me to type.

It will be quite sad to me if Retro is done and all we'll have going forward are third-party ReAction figures. More money in my pocket, I guess. But I liked having new official 3-3/4" super-articulated Joes to look forward to.

Well, if Hasbro were to go by all the whiny pissing, moaning and insulting that filled these boards whenever a toy was revealed, they would've probably come to the conclusion that these toys aren't appreciated by the "fandom" and wondered why even bother. Honestly, I think they should just finish the original 13 with the Stalker mold, then put ARAH to bed and concentrate on Classified if that's what's selling. It's time I stopped buying toys anyway.

^ They're a lot of fun out of the package. Perfect? No. But still fun and deserving of more new Joes to shoot at.

I hate to say it but I think they are done. I have a feeling retro was a push for the movie and maybe classified in a way and now that is done there really is no reason to keep it. Start scooping them up while you can cause when the next reset happens I bet they are done with the retro line.
