yeah that crap looks terrible too.

I don't understand why Hasbro can't make packaging as good as the stuff made 40 years ago

absolutely!

I backed that only because of what Emily said.. I didn't even want an overpriced SkyStriker! But I wanted to support the start of something great.

turns out they lied

I think also all your figures will be the ARAH versions and the Dragonfly will match the ARAH version as well.

I don't see it as 'they lied'. I just see it as, 'retailers didn't want to carry 3 3/4" Joes.' Or, more importantly - if they DID carry them, it was going to come out of the space allocated for Classified Series. Considering Classified is going for about $10 more per figure - for roughly the same footprint of peg/shelf space - it's a no brainer for retailers. You have to remember - retailers steer the ship... not Hasbro.

Seeing how the 3 3/4" Retro stuff at Walmart didn't sell very well... I can also see why Hasbro would stipulate that any further development of that scale would have to come from the 'overall' GIJoe budget - meaning that Classified would get less of the budget.

It totally makes sense that O-Ring 3 3/4" is done. It's past it's time, honestly.

I was really hoping for more of those transformers O-Ring mashups. Really love those.
