Is there any chance more Retro Baroness & Scarletts will ever show up in stores or has that ship sailed? I never saw any Retro figures in a store except for the latest wave. And I've never seen them in stock on the website but of course, Lady Jaye is in stock. How typical.

Shipping is free if you do, and you often get the jump on exclusives that way.

Ok, I'll give you that.
All light trolling aside, I think it's too early to speculate as to whether or not they'll be back around. It's going to depend on demand, and of course, the brand's overall success. The fact that they're sold out everywhere is encouraging, but I'd also bet that low production numbers have a lot to do with that. Remember, GI Joe was a dead brand until Classified, and demand for the figures was WAY underestimated. We're just now coming out of the woods on that, as I'm sure you're aware. I wouldn't wait on a rerelease; If you happen to see one in the $20-$25 range on eBay, or maybe see it on someone's BST here, grab it. On the other hand, I wouldn't discount a rerelease yet either. And who knows? Maybe a better one is around the corner- the first one's the best we've had to date, but it re-uses a lot of crappy parts. I'm personally hoping she gets the "Stalker" treatment- all new parts (the head is dope, though).

I'm hoping they rotate her back into one of the future waves, like they recently did with Snake Eyes. Otherwise I am probably going to end up trading one of my classified figures for her; she's already shot up to $60 on eBay!

Yup! And I always automatically compare everything to a leader class Transformer. That's just the way my mind is wired.
$50 = 1 leader class Transformer. Now compare this tiny GI Joe figure or Hasbro Pulse premium membership to a leader. How does the value compare? See my problem? A leader class is a big toy that has a ton of parts & complex engineering. It can transform & is basically 2 or 3 toys in 1. That's why I scoff at Pulse Premium & I'm not willing to pay much more than $10 for a 3" GI Joe figure. And I hate the $20 price tag on 6" figures. Action figures are articulated statues that don't do anything but stand there looking cool. So I'm not willing to pay much for them. Marvel Legends used to be $7.99 & I will never see any of the 6" figures being worth much more than that. And it fuckin sucks that Lady Jaye is always so easy to get but my favorite character is always a pain in the ass. Lady Jaye is on Walmart.com right now for $13.99. But I've never seen Scarlett or Baroness in stock. |

Keep trying. Sucks they are so hard to get. I scored one on Walmart.com while sitting on a bench while my kid played at a trampoline park.
