I have seen Breaker/Ram at every single Target I've been in recently, probably about 5 different one's total. Each time, there have been between 3-6, just sitting on the shelf. I assumed everyone must have found one by now.
The movie classified figures, are starting to pile up at a couple different Walmarts around here. No one seems to be in a hurry to buy those. Also, those Blue Hisstanks aren't selling, at all. I see those piled up everywhere. Lastly, Flint and Lady Jay don't seem to be moving around here either. It's too soon to use the phrase 'pegwarming', and frankly it's nice to see GI Joe product on shelves. These next couple months will be interesting to see if this stuff moves before it hits clearance. The blue hisstanks and classified Lady Jays, specifically, seem to be sitting everywhere. (Hopefully Hasbro doesn't give that Hisstank mold a third repaint. It's obvious collectors have had their fill of hisstanks).

I hope to be moving back to Queen Creek someday sooner rather than later. It’s nice that there’s actually a Target there now. Congrats on the pickup!

I was able to get Target to refund the $21 difference each for my online Breaker orders.They also price matched in-store today for a few more and I was able to use the $10 Target app coupon as well. This experience is like the complete opposite of the usual Cobra Island insanity.

I have not bought a single retro collection item. After having Classified Series - the new 3 3/4" figures seem cheap to me. The new sculpts seem 'kiddie' somehow... like the legs are too thick or something is wonky with the proportions. Since all my 25th-50th stuff is packed away, I have no reason to buy both lines.
I've been really surprised about Classified Movie line. They were overflowing from the shelves a week ago - but now they are gone. SOMEONE is buying them. Lady Jaye and Cobra Commander seem to be the only figures sticking around for longer than expected. |

I was polite, I thanked them for their time and what they did do and I left. When I got home, I ate some dinner and then called the corporate line on the website for in store purchases. I explained what happened. To the agent on the other end. He apologized for the circumstances and adjusted the other two purchases after reviewing the receipts. I normally do not call or make a fuss about things because I feel some things just even out over time. This time with 50% off on something this new for a three day sale. I really felt compelled to at least ask about it and try. I am satisfied with the results and encourage others to try tomorrow before this sale ends on the Breaker and Ram if you purchased one recently. |

Depending on distance and vehicle didn't you just waste half of that on fuel going back and fourth? Just me but I think I would have just let it go since I did buy it before the sale hit. I might have asked if I was at the store getting something but just seems like a lot of trouble and not worth dealing with.

Yesterday I posted here that I tried to get Price Match from Target and the store I visited denied it. I came home read up on the policy last night and went back tonight after work. I have made three purchases for Breaker. Tonight the store adjusted one, said one was out of range (Which as of today it was past 14 days and I explained I was in yesterday and denied, which fell on deaf ears. I thought this part of it was poorly handled.) The third one they said they could not handle because it was from the 30th of Sept. (Which I didn't understand because that is within 14 days.)

Doesn't it make sense for major characters like Cobra Commander to be readily available? I think it's ok for figures to sit on shelves for a while. I've seen Breaker, the movie figures, and the Lady Jaye wave multiple times, but they never last more than a week. (I live in an admittedly great area for Classified figures) This line is seems to be moving faster than Marvel Legends, but slower than Star Wars black series. It's healthy... I think Hasbro has found a sweet spot as far as quantities go. I don't think they are going to risk over saturating pegs with Classified figures.
