Shout out to truejoefan for selling me a Stalker! This figure is awesome. Hasbro, please, please, please update the original 13 Joes to this quality!

Not sure if anyone’s noticed it in-store yet, but both Walmart’s online prices and Pulse’s prices for the retro Joes and Classified figures have all been updated to a new price point of $22.99 for 6” and $13.99 for 4” retro.
It’s not just the new waves, they’ve updated pricing across the board retroactively to increase old stock, too. Oddly the Stalker/Trooper listing on the site/app still shows the $12.93 price for the non-photo’d listing, but I found it kind of shitty that old stock is now getting a price bump. Hasbro did this on Pulse to their Marvel Legends, too. Even older waves that were $19.99 formerly are now at the new 6” price point. Kind of frustrating. |

I've been thinking the same thing. Stalker looks great and I'd like to pick him up eventually, but I was already happy with the POC and 25th versions for my modern and classic Stalker (respectively). And while I'm very excited to see great 4" Joes again, I'm less enthusiastic about incremental improvements to characters I already have, especially if they continue to size-creep further and further away from semi-reasonable compatibility with o-ring figures and vehicles.

It took having one in hand, but yeah, I agree. I'm one of the odd ones that really like the POC version, so I'm on the fence as to which one it'll be for my shelves(I'm a "only one of each character" kinda guy with ME).
With Duke, as they say, it's never too late, in fact I'd say the chances they will are high. My only worry is that these will not mesh with the older ME Joes, Stalker does stand out a bit, albeit in a positive way. I'm fairly invested in the ones I have, and I'd rather not start yet another shelf for another era of Joe. Quote:

Probably somebody picked up all the Troopers at once since I went last before Walmart closing and they had the boxes in pallets

What do you guys think we'll get for the Crimson Guard retro issue?

Retaliation torso with new legs, though a complete rebuild would be in order so maybe we get lucky

Found a stalker and trooper tonight. They are ok. The trooper looks like it is the poster child of the cobra troopers propaganda machine. Could have got a bad paint job of a Stalker but his face looks funny. It was the best one they had though. I will most likely buy up all the troopers. I don't think they will look bad with the other versions.
