I mean JJ is kinda the resident ... I'll say "Contrarian" so I don't start a flame war...so that's hardly surprising.

I don't plan to collect the whole line, my goal at the moment is simply the Hasbro Pulse version of Snake Eyes (in hand), and then I hope to have a great Storm Shadow to face off against him....I plan to buy Destro and really any of the "Cobra Council" for a throne room display, and maybe a handful of blue shirts or Vipers depending on what is made, or CGs for guards. That's about it. Basically what I wanted to do with the 12" Sideshow but never completely happened, and someday I'll probably sell them all off.

I love how something as insignificant as shin guards has made so many people not buy those three. No offense to any of you who did that, I just find it hilarious just how many people got turned away by such a small thing.
Weirdly enough, it's an example of how somethings that we may do (like Hasbro adding shin guards) that we don't think of as a big deal can have major unintended negative consequences (people not buying them).

I WILL be buying this line as I think the designs look really cool and well made. I know people will disagree with that but I’ve always liked the weirder Joe designs anyway

Roadblock might peg-warm, but this line will move. They need to pump out a Storm Shadow, Baroness, Stalker and Flint quickly. Strike while the iron is hot.

I will say I am still on the fence about Duke. Out of the 3, he has the most ARAH likeness.

Classifieds sold out in 15 minutes. Wave 1 got back ordered on most sites. Then Destro sold like hot cakes. Only ones not moving are a few scarletts and roadblocks Becuase of paint. Like we can’t modify . Like it or not. 6 inch figs are in. I bought 5 classifieds and if I sold 2 right now I’ve made my money back.

I am collecting this line because I am ready to see GI JOE go in a new direction that is respectful of the source material while introducing elements that might open up to new markets and audiences. Although I would also like to see some classic designs down the line, we have to understand that Hasbro want to test the waters and might have some surprises with the upcoming Retro line. With all that being said, I like the Classified designs so far because they are a mix of ARAH, Renegades, and Resolute. I will definitely buy some Marauder guns for Roadblock and Snake Eyes. Looking forward to Cobra Commander, Baroness, Alley Vipers, Red Ninjas, and Gung- Ho!

The Alleys and the Creepers will get this line to take off more than It already has.

Prediction: And feel free to mock and ridicule me if I'm wrong.
In one year, wave one of GI JOE: CLASSIFIED will be going for $40 to $60 on eBay. Destro and Snake Eyes, mint in box will be going for $60+ and the rest 40+. |
