Ok gents, been lurking here for a solid year but after the smashing success of the H.I.S.S. Haslab yesterday I just cannot stand by on the sidelines any longer.

I?m an OG collector (from the start in 82 till about 85) and I actually had decided to pass on the Classified line until I discovered this site right before the Target Summer sales began last year. With the unknowing help from all of you here, I was able to get up to speed with my collection and I now own the complete line up to where we are now. No way I would have been able to do this without this site.

So I backed two H.I.S.S. tanks myself and I am beyond proud of the showing that us Classified collectors made yesterday. We sent a loud and clear signal to Hasbro that we are passionate about the line, have money to spend, and will spend it when presented with awesome products.

I am beyond excited for the future of the line, with the exception of the plastic-free packaging. As a MIB collector I am quite devastated with the change but I understand it?s necessity. I just wish that Hasbro could have come up with a bit of a better look and design for the new packaging. The Kamakura box is just awful to me and some folks on here suggested that the front of the box should just be a high-res picture of the figure in the tray to keep with the consistency of the line, which I thought was brilliant. Hopefully they keep tweaking the design and come up with something better down the road.

Besides collecting action figures my main hobby is building custom action figure dioramas, which I post on Instagram. I also make detailed step by step build albums that I post on Imgur for folks to follow along with and build their own.

Looking forward to contributing to this awesome site and thanks for having me!

Yo Joe!

PS? just to throw my hat in the ring, I too have received my Spirit and Cobra Officers from Amazon already this week and Storm Shadow and Croc are out for delivery today. My Croc from Pulse is also shipping soon. All is well!

Welcome to the forums!

I was coming to post a couple things this morning. It is amazing what is happening with the HISS Tank. So exciting. Now just waiting for what Tier 2 will be.

I also have three emails from Pulse. Two stating Croc Master and Cobra Office have left the building. Still waiting on Spirit and Storm Shadow to ship from Pulse but they show paid so it should be soon.

The third email was payment made for the Fortnite Snake Eyes so now that will be shipping soon too!

Welcome, mistac5050! It's great time to be a GI Joe fan. What's your IG account? I'd love to check out your dioramas.

Hasbro Pulse just charged me for my two Zero Point Snake Eyes figures! Wow, this is turning out to be a solid few weeks of figures arriving. The timing stinks with all my home repairs but, hey, I love it!
