Long lead times have always been a drag for Classified. It feels so much worse though lately. When the line started I imagined it would be like Marvel Legends where they get large waves and frequent releases, even frequent product reveals and livestreams. The large amount of Classified product getting delayed and then hitting at the same time is always rough. I wonder if we'll hear anything new between now and YoJoe June?

Everything else can wait for a discount unless it's exceptional. I stopped collecting after '88 so no attachment to anything after that.

If they make snake eyes ver 2 he better be all new parts no reuse on him new sword sheath backpack mini arrow launcher

But when did they change to factories in Vietnam? I ask because even the latest wave of pre-orders still show "Made in China" on the boxes.

I noticed a lot of Aliexpress sellers recently jacked up prices and stopped shipping to the US. Not just on action figures. I guess they're trying to make up for the loss American sales. Sucks for them and also small businesses who depend on cheap products from China.

And an all new Timber.

I think Lenny mentioned something about wanting that version to be special since it seems to be the most popular.

I got an email from Goodsmile Company, who makes Figma, that all of the pre-orders American residents have on their U.S. site will no longer ship-indefinitely. Waiting to see if other Japanese companies that offer pre-orders start closing down shipping to Americans, too. If I recall Nintendo stopped selling in Brazil a few years back until they got rid of the Protectionist administration for the current one!

Actually so far we are good. Joes are the same price because they are already taxed

Based on the leaked listings, I kinda doubt it. They still have YoJoe June, SDCC, PulseCon, and NYCC/1027 for reveals/pre-orders. There really isn't that much more scheduled for release this year (another wave of 4 figures and about 8 or so more items).

Legends also probably moves WAY more units than Classified does

I was thinking about the same conversation when I said that
a new timber would be great too. It?s not a bad figure but they can do better.

He needs to pop that is my favorite version of snake eyes and a lot of other peoples as well
