I did that with VHS movies. Got 10 for 10 cents and was supposed to buy so many more at their insane regular prices within a year. I put ten pennies in an envelope and the movies came in. And strangely I never heard anything from them again.

In my nuclear apocalypse fantasies I'm living in 2047 in a shipping container underground as an old disheveled hermit with my Classified collection. Showing off my collection to random travelers who stumble by.

"OH YOU LIKE THAT FIGURE DON'T YE, THAT'S ONCE A MAN COBRA COMMANDER, ONCE A MAN HE ONCE WAS, *rips open shirt while saying* NOOOOTTTT THE SPOOOORRREEES *old man hacking laugh* hahahaha."

Pulse just charged me for Doc, hopefully that means he'll be here early next week!

Do you think Hasbro has a "surprise" figure or two that they haven't mentioned AT ALL that we may see revealed in all of its glory on Thursday? If so...who would you want that to be?

For me...Hit & Run, Sci-Fi, Law & Order and Lifeline would be at the top of the list for me.

It wasn't attached to any con or event, but toward the end of last year they did drop the Python Patrol Bubble completely out of nowhere along with PP Copperhead and the PP Officer, which I think were already shown.

With the Rattler pending, I think this should be Cobra themed. I would love a oh by the way, here is Night Viper or Translucent Night Creeper or Heat Viper

I'll join you there for Law & Order and Lifeline, but I think with Dial Tone out there I need to get his buddy Mainframe into the frey, I still want to see that '86 lineup fully out there. ��

Cobra Commander (1984 is my dream, but I'll settle for 1987. Those were my first two CCs as a kid.)
1985 Retro of either Flint or Snake-Eyes would be amazing. Again, nostalgia.
1986 retro Roadblock would rock. My favorite version of my favorite character.

Research shows most people would not take that step and would end up receiving (and paying for) several figures they may have been on the fence about.

Collectors would not miss out. Hasbro would have known quantities to produce and added income. The only downside is the infrastructure to set it up, but it seems Pulse could manage this.

Would be all in for something like this.
