I have noticed same thing. Good time to look for those POC, 35th and Renegades figures on eBay. Especially auction formats.

I hear that. After seeing that Lifeline it's making me at least consider getting some of my favorite figures for display. This a year after offloading my first attempt at recollecting ME figures LOL.

It's funny, but I had noticed that myself and had the same thought- of course, the price would jump if I did (it always does), and I'd probably dump them again in a year or two (I always do). Cobra Troopers at less than $20 was pretty tempting though.

On the subject of dumping lines, when I dropped ME, I did find myself missing them a bit. Not enough to regret selling them, they never held me the same way that o-ring does, but I did miss them. I thought I'd feel the same with Classified, but I just don't. They're great figures, but definitely not for me.

Yeah that fang pilot is terrible. I feel like Classified retro Lady Jaye and Baroness are peg warming harder than there ME retro counterparts.

I sold off my entire modern-era collection a few weeks ago. JVC thru 5oth. Got enough money to sustain my Classified collecting for quite a while - so I was satisfied. I was fun to collect it all for the past 20 years - but I didn't want to let it just sit in totes in the basement.

No. I just used a decal from an unused Cobra vehicle sheet. Can't remember which one. I'm not good with waterslide decals, so I use cobra stickers decals when I can.

The sash and belt are from DG W1 SS's. I had a few extra and found some in fodder lots on eBay.

I agree.
Gonna be honest.
Now is the worst time to be selling 3.75 Joes.


There is a market for 3.75 figures.


There is however, no world where a whole bunch of Joe fans selling 3.75 Joes to switch to 6 inch classifieds would result in high 3.75 Gi Joe prices.
You are all trying to do the same thing at the same time.

How much did you roughly get? Just curious, donated mine a year ago but I'm always curious what collections sell for. I only had figures from 2007-2014 though, a lot of customs too.
