I received my retro Eels, Snow Serpent and Beachhead the other day and I must say that this is what Classified is all about for me. Classic versions of our favorite characters will always take top spot. I just love these guys. Nothing quite beats the classic colors. Granted I still like some modern updates from time to time but I'm assuming that for most older collectors this is what the line is all about. Keep delivering those classic characters, Hasbro. Nothing will ever quite supersede those iconic designs! Carry on!

Is anyone else having the issue on Pulse where you click on "Deluxe Figures and Vehicles" and all that comes up are the Action Soldier and Recon Diver?

I do give a lot of importance to "play value" so when they compromise that is some way they disappoint me, I like the little things like full storage of all their gear and character appropriate weapons and accessories.
I don't actually mind if they change something so long as they look like they put some effort into the change for the better. So though I might prefer the standard design Iron Grenadier I don't mind having a different one even it isn't much more than a Crimson Guard retool, I think it still appeals visually. When they "can't be bothered" to put a character in the correct boots sometimes it stands out a lot other times I barely care about it. It depends how much those boots add to the overall look and how much not having them changes the entire design. For example a HEAT Viper would look really odd to me without shells stuck on the boots, but if the boots were a reuse and the shells were attached to an over-lay that would likely be "fine". But leaving the feature off entirely would annoy me. |

Agreed , and my only 2 real gripes so far have been , ci firefly sharing the same boots with destro/bbq/buzzer or bbq/buzzer/destro/crocmaster sharing the same pants , its a bit annoying to me and makes some of them look less unique and i realize its hard to find a perfect blend sometimes but like you mentioned 0% thought into some of them ..

Anyone else’s Target preorder for Wreckage w/ Tiger Paw still showing backordered? I placed it April 11th at 2:14pm. I did have it price matched months later during a Target sale. Hopefully that process didn’t jack things up.

Got my Night Pursuit in today. This really is a great set! The pin in thw wheel is not a big deal as it still functions the same. It's just a little wobbly. I am getting tired of the Big Ben weapons being reused so much but at least he has other gear to load up with. I also absolutely love thw dark paint around his eyes. He looks scary and like someone you would not want to mess with. He will be staying off the bike. That will be going to Quarrel whenever she gets released. There is still a discount on this set on Walmart right now. Not as good as it was but still better that $55. Don't sleep on this set!
Man...Breaker got screwed. |

Has anyone's shipped? The release date isn't until Sunday. I ordered it from Pulse, which shockingly still shows 10/1 - but my TF Tripwire/Roadblock hasn't moved and that was ordered via Target.
