I don't know if anyone else mentioned this yet. I think the HISS III is one of the first vehicles for the more eco-friendly packaging. Instead of plastic ties, they have fiber/paper ties. Rip It, the canopy, the instructions, and sticker sheet all came in wrapped paper instead of a plastic bag. That explains why they didn't have a window box for Rip It too. I think that is very cool!!

The important part is what lays within. I also agree with the thin cardbacks and smaller bubble. IDGAF about your collector feels, it's been hot AF this year. I'd be fine if they just put them in a printed paper bag.

O saw a Stalker yesterday and didn't buy him. I probably would have bought him if i! Hadn't already bought $35 worth of basic Snake Eyes movie figures. Which are pretty cool figures for a basic figure. In my opinion they're better looking than the Marvel basic figures but the basic WWE figures are still the best basic figures out there. I love the blue on the Baroness figure.
The Stalker was found at a WM that has yet to do it's reset. I found the movie stuff at Target. |

Just something I have noticed that I have not seen anyone point out really anywhere. When people point out record cold temperatures in winter months or a blizzard in May they are shouted down with, "WEATHER DOESN'T EQUAL CLIMATE YOU MORON!" Yet in summer months hot temperatures and bad weather are constantly pointed out and weather totally equals climate.
I just find that hilarious. I'm sure I don't have to tell you this, but people say stupid things like that because most people assume that global warming= hotter temps. Most people are also not exactly geniuses.

Just went there but I don't see my account anywhere. I'm not a member and I don't think I ever signed in to order. Could that be the difference?

Could be. I would assume it's pretty much the same whether you signed in as guest or not. I've never checked out outside of my account though so I'm just guessing. :(

Found a whole case where I looked like the bubbles had been melted in shipping, no damage to anything else, just the bubbles all warped

Ive always been an ARAH guy, until a year or so ago when I rebooted my collection and jumped in on the modern stuff as well (mostly due to the influences of this place).
I've actually come to the decision that with all of the other stuff I collect, it was time to cut a line- especially having become enamored with the direction Classified is taking. Between the gaping holes in the modern roster, the difficulties I've had in gearing them up (I HATE gearing up modern Joes;) and the fact that I really don't care much for any of the newly sculpted retro figures aside from Stalker, I decided to clear them out. I do, however, still intend to use them as custom fodder. I still have many, many builds I'd like to try and get done.
