I totally disagree with that prediction...

It will be 50th anniversary Flint, Cobra Trooper from POC and Zartan from the Hall of Heroes...

After that duke, cobra commander and fang, who knows.

ummm that is a total contradiction
Classified is exclusive to Target
Retro is exclusive to Walmart
so what imaginary line are you talking about?

it seems very likely Walmart & Target ordered a set number of stock
yes they both under estimated the demand
add in the pandemic that stopped factories for a while

Classified is not a Target Exclusive...Special Missions: Cobra Island Classified figures are...but that is only a portion of all of Classified. Some of the coolest most wanted ones...but not all of them

I'm hoping the CT will be a POC/30th/50th CT with non-Caucasian (black) skin. Leave everything else the same. Yes, it won't match the card art, but when did that stop them before.

Full force rumored that meteor will be a female CT. If so, please use the club build with the male helmet so it will stay on her head.

I’d love a black trooper or even a female.

Agreed. The inclusion of the black figure was the best part of the infantry 6er during VvV (other than the fact that it was am army builder 6 pack, of course. We need more of those!)

I'm hoping there are re-stocks this week after the holidays. That's why I'm bumping this today. Happy hunting!!!

I've been following this thread and I have not seen anyone else ask this question...

When Hasbro chose not to renew the club's license, did Hasbro actually receive ALL of the tooling back that they lent out? Hasbro probably asked for it back but if they did not receive it back then certain figures may not be doable.

As I understand it, the tooling is maintained by the factories which the Club was granted use of under Hasbro’s control. The tooling wasn’t physically conveyed to the Club.
