The Stinger sold out in a few hours and hasn't been available since. That strikes me as evidence that we have shown them we're interested in supporting the line, but we're not easy marks immune to price sensitivity.
Get them nerds in the corporate offices to run some van westendorp tests on us before going to market with outrageously overpriced stuff! (Full disclosure: I am that nerd, just for a company that is neither Hasbro nor in Hasbro's line of business.)

A couple of things:
I dunno if EE's free shipping applies to preorders...I might be getting them confused with another e-tailer though. And as far as pricing of the o-ring 2-packs goes, I don't think it's been mentioned that $39.99 ($41.99 after the blanket price increases) might be the minimum Hasbro needs to get for 'em. Sometimes pricing isn't as simple as cost (manufacturing, transportation, etc) + reasonable markup. Sometimes the higher-ups say, "We'll give it a shot, but they have to sell for X amount minimum. If they can't, then we know the interest isn't really there/it just isn't worth doing from a practical standpoint."

I interpreted their response as being 2024 Classified Retro cardbacks planned.

I never got a chance to buy clearance Grunts for headswaps. There's huge demand for non-movie Classified though. |

At any rate, I hope they don't end o-ring without first doing V2 Snake Eyes and V1 Quick Kick. I'll take Beachhead too. And Sgt. Slaughter. |

There are a lot of o-rings I’d like them to get to, many of which are ‘88 and ‘89 figures, so hopefully they will continue, and take the Classified approach of jumping around the years, and not just do the most obvious characters.

This may be slightly off topic , but does anyone know what's happening with yojoe.com? It has been a great source for my o-ring collecting but noticed they don't seem to be adding any new content. Figures from the 2018 line only have two of them posted , no retro , no classified... Will they ever catch up or have they retired?
