Or only buy the figures you like.

I emailed Hasbro Pulse support to let them know.

That is nuts! I sure hope you get to keep them.

I got an incorrect shipment from Hasbro Pulse once, and they told me to just keep it. They went ahead and sent the right item.

-Barbecue
-Breaker
-Spirit
-stalker
-Tiger Force outback since that was his first issue or Dusty if you don't count subteams.

Apologies if I misunderstood the question.

I was thinking maybe
-Snake Eyes
-Roadblock
-Duke
-Scarlett
-Gung Ho
-BeachHead
-Flint
-One of the Cocos

Barring Hasbro finding some way to market the brand to kids again, that seems likely. Also: Dead, please. I don't wanna be around in 2064.

That's why everyone should just be having fun now, open your toys, play with them, & don't stress.

I am 52 this year and I order as much online as possible. I almost can't stand going to a store to specifically search for figures. Now if I happen to go to a store I walk through toys and if I find something interesting, I may pick it up.

All that said, say Hasbro Pulse gave an option to subscribe to get one or two of every Gi JOE Classified released, including any store or con exclusive. I would do it to never have to try and preorder and not have to go on a quest to search.

I get it, some like to search and that is fine. At 52 "the hunt" frustrates me more these days instead of being fun like it used to be. I just want to order the product and receive it.

A curious thought. Why does the Ferret / Tiger Paw Mould have a clicky mechanism in just the left rear suspension ?

Well if you sold them you would be able to buy 2 HasLabs (minus a $100).

I had a Tripwire that got delivered to the wrong house. (got the FedEx confirmation pic and everything - but it was not my house). They re-sent me another. About two weeks later, the original showed up. They just told me to keep it.

(I have a spare Tripwire if anyone wants to trade for something)

Pretty much. Although even the Retro name doesn't guarantee an upscaled ARAH figure as seen with the EELs, Destro, and Snow Serpents. I think the sweet spot would be finding a way to accessorize the figures where you have removable gear and, like Doc, could strip them down to get them closer to their ARAH versions. That way, tattoos and modern weapons aside, you'd walk the fence between those who want modern and those who want classic.
