I tried collecting marvel legends a while, but theres so much so often that I just decided it was a bit too expensive for me.

I do kind of like that I'm not bombarded with so much product and I have time and money to buy them all. That said, I think the main problem is the inconsistency. If it was slow distribution, but on a regular, more reliable schedule, I don't think people would be nearly as frustrated, if at all. It's the complete unpredictability and lack of communication on hasbro's part that has people upset.

It's funny, because I had been checking my orders to see if they had the Crimson Guards ready to go and I noticed the Viper wave was preparing. A surprise, to be sure, but a welcome one.

That?s how we interact in and build a community, we don?t just buy a figure, put it in the shelf and ask ?what?s next??.

And I?ll get dragged for this, but I really don?t understand why people are so upset. We are getting figures on a fairly regular basis. I don?t think my budget could handle a new wave every two months.

Simply put, some of us are just fine with the line and how things are going. Shrug.

Yeah there's what maybe 30 regular posters on here at most? Engagement on post on facebook groups is also small compared to the number of people in the groups and it's usually the same maybe 50 people being the constant debbie downs (and hell I blame alot of that on the toxic Valaverse fandom). The negative sentiment is just overrepresented and most people are happy with the line (look at the number of HISS Tanks sold), but unfortunately the negative part of the community has the largest megaphone.

Who do you guys think the rarest G.I. Joe Classified figure is?

My vote is Snake Supreme Cobra Commander.

In terms of number/availability or resale value?

The former is perhaps Arctic Mission Storm Shadow, the latter Master of Disguise Zartan, IMO.

I don't think 'upset' is the correct word. At least not for me. They are just action figures. It's a hobby - nothing more. I just like the discussion and conversation around it. It could be better, faster, more consistent, etc... but in the end - it's not really a big deal.

(I tend to post often sometimes because I work in front of multiple computers - and I tend to keep one monitor on distracting stuff like this. When I hit render in 3DS Max, I'll look over here while the other computer is working away on something...)

Snake Supreme CC followed by Arctic SS. I had no problems finding Vipers, the only problem was the price

I think I'm done with getting duplicates for boxed display. Increased prices and windowless boxes are just taking the fun out of collecting. For now I'm content with this wall display above my home computer:

That's a very interesting question. The Hasbro team has admitted they vastly underestimated demand for the line, so early releases must have had much smaller production numbers, with exclusives being produced in even more limited quantities.

I would say 00 Snake Eyes, but I'm pretty sure they did a second run of that one. Same for Snake Supreme Cobra Commander.

The two candidates I'd guess are Arctic Storm Shadow and Regal Cobra Commander. I can't remember if they got second production runs or not.
