Yes, it did.
I’m sure Admins will correct this soon.

Not much of a spammer that guy is, just an annoyance. Kind of weak though.

I think he's talking about the threads in non English writing with the pics of the scantily clad girls in them.

I don't mind the guy showing the photoshopped 4 packs.

I was talking about the non English guy as well.

He's gone now. Lol

I'm fine with the 4pack guy. Kind of cool seeing those photoshops.

It's weird how when the Retro figures were showing up in stores they had no placeholders for them, but now there are placeholders and no figures!

Yeah I know. Hopefully we will see wave 2 before Christmas in my area. All I see are Hisstanks. I keep. buying them up one at a time as I stop In to look. This is all I see

I’m seeing similar in my area. A few HISS tanks but no figs. Those GBs figs are warming hard.

The Retro Hiss and the Retro AWE Striker are available here in Brazil, of all places. There are no Walmarts here (probably one or two somewhere), but Hasbro do Brasil managed to bring these guys home, together with Classified wave 1. I got the Striker yesterday, very happy with it but not surprised by its shortcomings.

Plastic is just WAY too soft. There's no way this thing would last through rough play as we did when we were kids. The good thing is that it's almost an exact copy of the original, so it's a great replacement if you don't have the vintage one. And if you're an adult and keep your toys on desks or shelves.

As for the figure, Crankcase is a good example of what's wrong with modern construction. Legs and arms joints that don't bend at 90 degrees, soft bendable limbs (to compensate bad joints) and a helmet that may or may not fit other figures. He comes with no guns. I'll probably keep this figure in the box just to have that "sealed" look on it. The toy is good if you can't find a decent vintage for a decent price. Otherwise, disappointing.
