Just got charged for OAMCC this morning, which is weird cause I got him yesterday when its suppose to ship this September. Maybe the scalpers canceled a bunch of orders?

Oh nice! Congrats!

I'm a long way from not supporting the line, i might yet get back into the Rattler, but felt i rather spend my money on the Stinger which will go with my HISS tank.
I have Alpine, Retro Cobra Commander and Retro Trooper on pre-order, plan on picking up more.

After careful consideration, I've dropped my Rattler funding and will be selling my copy of the Dragonfly when it arrives. My Premium membership is good through December, but I won't need it. I plan on keeping most the Classified figures I already have, but am not interested in continuing to support the brand. I am looking forward to spending my disposable income elsewhere.

I'm starting to agree with others that Hasbro's most likely playing us with this one. Two days in a row they put up a certain amount in the early morning that lasted more than a few minutes, even after being posted on various GI Joe forums. So they were never really sold out.

After enough FOMO is created I wouldn't be surprised if his preorder stays up for significantly longer, or if he's available to order for days when shipments go out in September.

Of all the figures currently named or leaked, Blowtorch is the most logical match for a tank with a pressure gauge. Different than the vintage figure and I am more used to seeing a 2-tank configuration like the old Vietnam/WW2 version. I agree that this type of backpack would make more sense for a diver and maybe there is a Wet-Suit coming that we do not know about.

But Lenny and the team are not super proficient with all things military and maybe are going with this pack for Blowtorch just to change things up? Who else could be coming that would get a pack like this? Wet-Suit (does not match his vintage), Eels V2 (not a match), who else?

Edit: Finally caught up on all the overnight discussions. Did not mean to de-rail the Funko POOPs talk with Classified news.

Airtight v3 had a similar looking pack as an alternate to his normal look.

I was bitten by the Pop! bug, so I keep the Cobra Ninja in my office to guard my snacks. They're just fun and easy to collect, you can take them out and easily repackaged them, the boxes are small and easy to store or stack somewhere, and the variety of properties is out of this world.

Woah wait WHAT? How did I miss that. Now THAT I'd pick up.

God I saw someone mention Franklin Mint stuff. I have SO MUCH of that crap from my dad jumping all in on investing in those (and die cast bank vehicles in general). Everything Ertil too.

NONE of that stuff is worth anything now. I can't give the stuff away for $5 at a flea market. Same with Hess Trucks. Outside of the OG 5 and some others, they basically go for nothing. And of course my dad bought CASES of those things, too!

I'm stuck with so much useless crap from my dad and his collecting ways...and then I did the same LOL. Imagine having an off site ex-autobody shop garage JUST filled with "collectables" that nobody wants. That's me.

Did sell my ultra mint metal lunchbox collection for about $10K and my massive Bachmann Collection took about 30 years but I sold it all off finally a few months ago.

You just can't quit since there are Retro Vipers coming up... Army building time.
