I would not either but can see some flipping because they got the retro treatment first. Honestly, might be a strategy worth trying. Release a new character in the retro line before main classified line and see how it goes.

Amen.
I think a silent majority is more likely (or at least a silent quorum, LOL) considering how the line only really seemed to start flourishing after they dropped the "Blackout" aesthetic and went back to the RAH well. Quote:

I was actually looking at the mega marines and sgt savage and there were only about 20 or so figures btwn the 2 of them including the 2 monsters , they could easily knock all of those out in 2 years time .. or def ,eco warriors, so many untapped lines they need to throw some random figures out for us IMO ..

Exactly this, but it's an overly vocal minority.
And no, the move away from Blackout, wasn't toward ARAH designs, it was a shift from the gaudy gold paint apps, to a more practical color palate. The Retros aren't even 100% upscaled ARAH designs, either, and unless you know production numbers on the main line and subline, not even really comparable to gauge success (though I'd honestly be surprised if Retros were matching, let alone outnumbering Classified on production runs).

That tweet by Sarge sounds like it will probably be the Triple T-TF crossover.
Though I would love an official green tank USA Sarge for Classified and I guess that could come with a Classified Triple T (even though it was priginally packed with the black tank Sarge that we already got with #53)..

I think Black Major or Red Laser made some of them before but those weren?t official toys

Got the Tiger PAW with a gift card for about 10.50 or so. It's alright. I am not overall impressed with the ferret. The Wreckage figure is neat though. The figure doesn't sit perfectly in the ATV. But cool paint apps notheless. This figure corrected all the factory issues firefly had. I give it a nice 7.0/10 overall because the bike design kind of sucks in the front. I feel it needed some protection by the steering wheel. Some glass shield or something. I feel that this vehicle and the Night Cycle were a slight disppointment. I found Ghost Rider and Superior Octopus when I got home and holy shit man. Holy shit. Ghostie puts all these figures to shame.
