Okay one of the best things about 3 3/4”( 1:18th scale ) figures is they are perfect for vehicles, playsets, and army building. I have always been a “modest” army builder. For example I usually do around 8-12 of each troop. The POC Cobra Trooper is my largest amount with 32( I used to have 50, but scaled back ). Obviously, 6” scaled figures are larger and take up more room, but I like 6” for the incredible detail and articulation. So to the point how many of each type of Trooper do you plan to get for the Classified line? I think when it comes to the backbone fighters like Cobra Trooper, Cobra Vipers, and Battle Android Troopers I’ll stick with 8( 2 squads of 4 ). For environment type troops( Eels, Snow Serpents, etc. ) I’ll go with with 4. For elite type Troopers( Crimson Guards, Alley Vipers ) I’ll also do 4. Troopers like Tele-Vipers, S.A.W.-Vipers, H.E.A.T.-Vipers I’ll go with 2 of each. So 2, 4, and 8.
How about all of you?

I keep my SW Black Series troop building to a minimum of 12 so i had planned to do the same with the Joe Classified line. The problem is that with the cobra trooper its gonna be impossible to troop build for most of us unless we pay crazy prices on eBay all because Hasbro has their head up their ass and put out a popular troop builder as a Target exclusive. They apparently do not want to make money or know how to make the fan base happy

I totally agree Hasbro made a very stupid decision to release the Trooper as an exclusive. However my advice to everyone is be NICE to your Target employees. Have I dealt with a couple of jerks, well yes I have. But for the most part, when you are looking for these be patient and respectful. I have been able to get 6 so far and have 2 more on hold to pick up tomorrow. All of the ones I purchased employees went in the back and brought me. 3 at one store, 2 at another, 1 at another, and the 2 I’m picking up tomorrow. Customer service is part of Target Employees’ job, and for the most part most employees try. But be nice it gets you a long way, or well it gets you toys.

It's so likely that the Target CT is just a differently deco'd version of an upcoming CT that I'm just assuming it is and staying patient. We'll see other Troopers, probably with different paint or accessories, but we'll see him again for sure.

My hope is that we'll get a stripped down version (like the $15 Marvel figures) or a lower-priced two-pack (the $30 Putty Patroller set for Power Rangers) to help us all in army building, otherwise I can't see myself getting more than 4.

If I can find the cobra Troopers I would like to get at least 4. Have them flank Cobra Commander. I would really like to see the “Grunt guys” high is what me and my brother called the green shirt Joe Troopers.

Personally I don't plan to army build anything for Classified per se. I am keeping myself more into 4", but with the 6" I want to have my Snake Eyes versus a classic style Storm Shadow, and then a display of the Cobra High Command as in Cobra Commander, Baroness, Destro, Dr. Mindbender, Tomax/Xamot, Major Bludd, Firefly, Zartan and so on. I would like the full Dreadnoks as well. Otherwise, troops might just be enough for flanking or guard duty in the display, like CG's flanking the twins, or a couple of Vipers, or so on. I gotta rein in the cash outlay at this point. So no sets of 8 or 10 or 12 of a 6" figure.

I have 10 Black Series Stormtroopers and have only ever opened one. I also have 5 Han Solo in Imperial Army gear and have never even opened those. It's just hard to display 6" armies. They take up a ton of space. I do have nine Horde Troopers with my MOTUC display and five custom Skeletor troopers. And I have six Foot Soldiers in their own display waiting for me to get around to opening my other Turtles and getting April.

So I don't know what I'll do with Classified. I love Cobra Troopers and like the Crimson Guard, but the rest of Cobra's weird specialists don't appeal to me. So I won't be getting Red Ninjas, Alley Vipers, Snow Serpents, etc. I'll probably just keep buying every Cobra Trooper I find and end up not displaying as many as I should. That's been my 6" pattern sadly.

I'd prefer v1 Vipers over the Troopers, but I totally get not wanting to get into all the little nooks and crannies of their forces.

I'm a huge Trooper over Viper guy. In my ME collection, I have about 50 POC Troopers (plus about 30 of the Club female versions), but only one 50th anniversary Viper.

I'm always worried that Hasbro will drop the Trooper in favor of the Viper (like the movies did), so I'm glad Classified has a Trooper. He just shouldn't have been an exclusive.

I only plan on getting two Troopers, and adding the armbands to make one an Officer.
