Me too. If you can find it at a WM. That's the tough part.

I can see them doing Bazooka and Dusty as well and that's why I've held off on making a want list for now, just to see what they continue to put out. I can see them re-releasing Ultimate Cobra Commander, 50th Destro, HEAT Vipers, Cobra Troopers, Cobra Vipers, BATs, Snow Serpent, Televipers, Gung Ho, Leatherneck, Mainframe and many others.
I would like to see Airtight, Sci-Fi and Lifeline...

I've never had that tough a time in store. But that was in the before time. Tough to know now.

I also wish they would bring back the digital explosion card art as well. |

I think this line will do well if it has a chance to get to stores and be found online at retail price. My biggest concern is the virus causing more closures and other restrictions as we move into fall will cause distribution to fail completely and make it literally impossible to buy these in brick and mortar. Hasbro's shareholders are already going to be out for blood with the lower than projected performance last quarter hitting the stock value and Walmart already axing Black Friday. The company I work for is already in panic mode over the holiday sales season after Walmart's press release last week.

Maybe for later waves they start using digital explosion like in the 80s...

I wouldn't even sell them. I wasn't troop building at the time and my customizing was very limited. Would have been helpful for both those ends.
It's minus the Commando v1 head (go figure, since that's the card art they used), and it does appear to have some gray/silver paint applications where the Arashikage release was basically all black. Quote:

I do not have both versions, but they are the same.
At the time the 50th was coming out, it was noted by Darryl DePriest or Mark Weber that any alterations to an existing figure- whether it be paint apps or accessories, constituted a new figure, per their marching orders from Hasbro. As such, they didn't rework any of the re-leases for budgetary reasons. I collect EVERY version of SE/SS, and I ended up selling that two pack because there was no difference between them. I AM buying the retro versions because of the face printing on SS and slight color changes to both (and because I’m a completist sucker for those two figures).

I think there are slight differences. But they are super slight. It has to do with the glossiness of the black in certain places. I have one of each and you can see it in person, but it does not really show up in a picture.
This is from yojoe: "Several small variations exist between the Pursuit of Cobra and 50th Anniversary releases. The feet went from glossy to matte, the GI Joe unit tampograph was brighter, and the soles of the feet were smooth."

I’ll be really curious to see how these do long term (meaning into DEC/Christmas sales).
This continues to be my scale, but what will kids think? Will Fortnite really help push kids towards Joes and the 4” scale, or will Classified in the trendy 6” scale win the day? I tend to think 6” wins while even less collectors ignore Retro offerings if they continue to be simple releases from 4 years ago. Like said, it’ll be interesting to follow! I REALLY want new movie figures in 4” ME, so I hope I’m wrong.
