That was the only thing I missed on too. I got the figures before they had any description or picture at all. Just say "Action figure" and had a Hasbro logo. But the 12.99 told you what it was.

There were several 24.99 items with the same logo/description. By the time I pinned down which was which it was too late. I had the Awe in my cart but the order got rejected cuz it was out of stock. It came back to "available" several times, but never was able to complete the check out.

They must have made twice as many Hiss tanks.. its weird that the AWE would sell out before anything else.

This exactly. By the time I figured out which vehicle was which, I jumped on the HISS thinking that would sell out fast and the AWE would linger while I thought about whether I wanted 1 or 2. Lost that roulette game.

Let the GI Joe team know on their social channels that you want more. The more voices, the louder the call.

All you had to do was see what section the listing was under. All the 24.99 listings were star wars, only two were gi joe. Once you narrowed that down, it was easy peasy.

Also I ordered everything that was under gi joe. And then cancelled after they showed the names. Two benefits, you get what you seeked and you could cancel the ones you dont need

I can't wait to see Bobby Vala's reaction to these reveals. Any chance you will have him on Angry Mike?

I knew what was GI Joe before the names because it was down in the item information details. I was stupidly trying to figure out HISS vs AWE thinking NAH, no way these reissue vehicles quickly sell out.

In hindsight you made the right move. I could have easily bought all when they said only "action figure" and cancelled later.

I’m sure he’ll have nothing but good words for Hasbro.

Passed on the figures since I already have several SS, SE and Baroness but I was glad to get that HISS. I was at Subway at 11 trying to eat and find the link to pre-order I thought it would sell out right away.

I've been wanted a boxed HISS for ages, it's so beautiful. The 25th window boxes are just as beautiful, since you can see the vehicle itself, but nothing hits me like that 1984 vintage art...

I'm ultimately meh on the retro stuff. I pre ordered Snake Eyes and Baroness but only really wanted Baroness. I ended up with the Snake Eyes because I took a chance and just picked a figure to PO before any info was added. Every thing else I'll wait and take my chances in store. I'm actually excited about Baroness because I'm not sure I have a modern Baroness outside of the one in the wet suit. And I'm not a fan at all of those crowded mess of a file card.

thats the truth!

they fired all of their good people around the same time and it clearly showed in the products. That move killed Marvel Universe too... just look at how shitty the last few waves were compared to the previous years.
