But everything you just mentioned is stuff we knew about in Q1/Q2. Why have there been no new announcements since then? Meanwhile, I get emails every week announcing whole waves from other Hasbro lines. When was the last time we learned about new products incoming? June? It's been surprisingly dry since then. So yeah, I am hoping we get several Classified figure reveals this weekend even if it means we won't have them in hand until February or March.
I fully expect to see new preorders for new Classified figures by Monday (if not after their Pulsecon reveals). It's just that a LOT of these reveals probably would have happened at summer cons which didn't occur (again). Had reveals happened this summer, everyone would be complaining "Where are the preorders?!".

Or he's a big fan of Zandar and thinks if he posts it over and over, it makes it more likely someone from Hasbro sees it and thinks "Ok, the fans want Zandar." I can see the logic.

Perhaps our fellow Joe fan is one-half of twins. Perhaps they lost their other half and this collectible has become that much more important to them. Perhaps they've suffered a trauma and this is their way through. The site has an "ignore user" option that works great!! If another user is too difficult to be overlooked, ignore them. You'll be glad you did. But, let's not take away someone else's hope or optimism; no matter how pointless/frustrating it might seem to us. It's just toys. Apologies, Stormtrooper12. I'm not intentionally singling you out and I agree with many of your posts. |

GI Joe has been hit but it isn't important YET. Still a growing brand, and as a result more priority big show priority is going to the big hype brands. We GI Joe fans need to let Joe grow a bit more before we worry about how Hasbro is handling it. |

Yes, it's just toys, and toys can be any range of things that a person doesn't really need and yet returns to as a preference: action figures, trading cards, comics, movies, books, girl scout cookies, undies worn by webcam girls, knives, guns, wooden carvings, garden gnomes, soda bottles, baseballs, old cars, skulls, dentures, the list never ceases.

Having said that, most of us have been guilty of this at one time or another; yours truly isn’t innocent, either. ;) Back to the Joes: over/under on preorders going up SAT morning?

Officially? None. Unless someone jumps the gun, then who knows!
BBTS posted a social media post that indicated "lots of reveals" which may mean the online guys are being held back from posting preorders on things until revealed at Pulsecon. I'm guessing Monday morning, maybe Sunday. At the EARLIEST I'd be expecting stuff to go up the evening after the reveals.
