Rather than return them to Walmart, where they will immediately slip right into the hands of eBay scalpers, why not sell them at cost + shipping to a collector or kid who can't find them at retail?

I get where your coming from, I too was really excited to get the upcoming "retro" line. When I saw them in person I wasn't to happy. This happened to me when I was buying mcfarlane's stranger things figures. They didn't make the whole cast of characters and I sold them all off. I don't know if I'll mcfarlane again because of it. I know nothing is guaranteed but I've sort of hitch my wagon to the classified line. And if hasbro does a real classic line i'll be back collecting 3.75 in a heartbeat. Collecting can be hard at the best of times... But incomplete character sets, distribution and scalpers need to be solved some how.

The Ross stores in my area are VERY well stocked. Tons of toys, no empty shelves. In fact, they've already set up a bunch of yard sale style tables to put toys on. Unfortunately, 60-70% of it is Fortnite.

You're not joking about the Fortnite figures though. Pretty healthy stock of Transformers as well, wish I knew what was sought after so I could help some folks out. One thing I did see at Walmart though was the GB classics, I was really tempted to pick them up.

If people weren't discussing this line as if it were real, I'd claim it was entirely fictional based on the pieces on the shelf locally.

You know what's funny? most Ross stores I've been into are typically disheveled, my own included. Well, right after I posted that, I went into to mine, and it was clean and well stocked. My Walmart hasn't even had large underwear for more than a month, but Ross had everything. Kinda surreal.

You know what I bet that is where we will all find wave 1 & 2 after Xmas when Walmart just gives up. Then whatever waves following they get going forward will be put into new planograms.

I'm getting tired of this line. I think I was excited at first because of nostalgia and getting figures in this scale... but the distribution is seriously killing all of that excitement.... and when I look at the figures I am not too happy with them for the most part.
I am considering returning my 3 Hiss tanks, 3 AWE strikers, the crunched up Storm Shadow they sent me, and just washing my hands of this entire line. I ended up cancelling all my preorders for wave 1 figures and wave 2 Destro. I felt they either didn't look good enough or they weren't different enough from the other ME versions I have. The HISS tank came on time and the AWE Striker came a few weeks after. I've been busy so I haven't assembled them yet. But I am happy to have them because I didn't get the earlier 25th anniversary releases. I still have Scarlett and Roadblock on preorder. And I still want to see what wave 3 looks like and whether there will be any more vehicles. Similarly for Classified, I decided to cancel Regal Cobra Commander, Gung-Ho, and Red Ninja earlier this summer. I've managed to get everyone else but the Cobra Island Cobra Trooper. And I haven't had any luck with the preorders for Viper, Firefly, or Cobra Infantry yet. But I do want to see what they have in upcoming waves. I recently listened to a new interview with Lenny on the Full Force Podcast and I thought it was cool. I've decided I'm only getting them if I really like them and then it's a matter of their availability. |

I have only seen the figures once almost a month ago in Toronto. It was at a walmart. I don't think hasbro made enough to meet demand for sure.

It's 1985! Classics from original molds!
