Hey Joes,
I've missed most of the recent streams, so not sure if this was answered or not... I noticed they are moving back to the window packaging for the Classified line. Have they mentioned anything about re-releasing/reissuing the figures that were in the picture boxes with window packaging versions? Thanks in advance |

I think we might see re-releases with minor deco changes in the Retro line. Think Black Series Archive.
Also, quite some time ago (around the time Mindbender was first released), Emily said that there was a moratorium on reissuing Classified figures. I don't think we've ever gotten an update on that.

What would be most wanted in terms of reissues? Other than the plastic free figures that OP mentioned. CI Trooper and Viper again? Arctic Storm Shadow?

CI Trooper and Infantry are definitely up there and they haven't had the equivalent of the Viper 3 pack.

Who else. Major Bludd? Is it as simple as combing through eBay sold listings to see what's selling for the most?

Yeah and they have kept that tooling in use most of the time. Now that they got the python patrol versions (and fire team) out, they'll want to use it for something. Stinger driver maybe, or Arctic Troopers? But I wouldn't be surprised to see Infantry or CI show up again.

That is exactly what Hasbro has done with TVC and TBS figures. They saw the high prices for some and re-released them. No doubt the same will be done with classified once it slows down as a means to extend the line. It will not be limited to the figures in windowless packaging either. They will release *expensive* figures in new packaging like Major Bludd in non Cobra Island packaging etc.

Yep I love it when they do that because I stopped collecting Star Wars around 2003 and started up again when the Sail Barge Haslab started. I missed out on a bunch of cool, expensive figures in those 15 years. Hopefully they will eventually re-release all the cantina and palace aliens. As far as Classified goes, I got in at the beginning but I hope they get that stuff back out there for those that didn't.
