I'm not one of those guys saying Classified is ending soon, but I think one to two years tops is realistic if the economy stays or gets worse, food, fuel, insurance, everything is still climbing...$30+ figures won't last for most people
However... I'm still defending when Joe went DTC, in my mind we kind of need to return to that instead of pegs full of figures nobody wants The figures would be sold together in one case, the deluxe or vehicle sets would be sold separately Put up the preorders several weeks before shipping, not months with guessed release windows It's still possible to do retailer's exclusives if that helps fund the line but they could be online only Remember hasbroroyshop.com? It was nice to just go online, buy everything with no gimmicks, in several weeks it shows up on your doorstep To be honest, I?d absolutely love a one-a-month release like the Matty Collector days. Hasbro Pulse is already set up to handle the logistics, they just need to open up a few more for us that don?t have access to Hasbro Pulse. And the sadist in me would love to see the boards/Facebook groups explode over GI Joe being released this way. |

I've tried as well. And you're right. Even after a significant victory, the goalposts were moved - in some cases even demonizing Hasbro employees in the process. And they'll continue to be moved. Unfortunately, the trolling (because that's what it is at this point), has done more damage than good. I've seen a growing number of posts where Tankers' interest in Zandar has soured because of the incessant rants/whines/trolls. And to encourage/enable it, I suspect it's only a matter of time before the autofellating white knights descend upon us for calling the duck a duck, because, how dare we - despite honorable intentions.
Gotta love someone throwing out the 'troll' card and then following it up by using terms like ''autofellating white knight'' Clearly dealing with a real 'meat & potatoes mans man' here. Boyo, you a NERD like everyone else is on these boards (including me), doing the 'jock' thing? no bueno. |

As someone who was there during the MOTUC Matty Collector days, I fully support online only releases. Hell, GI Joe Classified is already an online only release for me, we don?t get these in stores.

One of the Walmarts by me has one dozen or so boxed females plus the usual ten Retro Lady Jaye figures on pegs The other has like twenty-five retro Lady Jayes, only seen Destro/Gung-Ho there once...they did have several of the Timber v2 sets Target's got like several TF Recondo right now with some leftover movie figures So, yes, I'd be very pleased to have some monthly option to get figures shipped direct like DTC |

Bazooka's is very premium feeling box embossed gloss finish ect, pity Hasbro UK aren't smart enough to have these in stores... wasting so much on their artwork might aswell ship them in a plain box as Online only Pulse :P

I really dislike the Rock & Roll figure too. Just too revisionist for my tastes. It's exactly the type of redesign that I feared for other characters and here it has come to pass.

Me, I LOVE the new Rock and Roll, and applaud the creativity! I like it when they kick the figures up a notch rather than doing the straight ARAH upscales. (well, most of the time.)
And I also fondly remember the MOTUC monthly figures, as well as the Joe collectors club, and would be quite happy for a monthly Classified figure... it helps you enjoy the figure more if it's one a month rather than waiting forever, then suddenly getting like 5 at one time. But, obviously, this isn't actually going to happen anytime soon.... |

Everything I’ve seen or heard about Viper Island suggests he’s an absolute tool, no interest in giving him a single click, even adblocked to hell and back. But yeah IronKen’s thumbnails alone are probably the most off-putting, dumb af garbage I have seen, they just scream “this video was made by a shit gargling cretin in a sewer somewhere”, a complete embarrassment in every way.

I don't remember any of this dislike for Rock N Roll during the render reveal or the livestream. Does this just happen once people have time to sit on things for a while?
