You're supposed to get these figures in bent up or crashed, helps give them the retro vibe like you found them in some unexpected garage-sale find.

Follow up on my Retro figures since I'm back from my trip and had a chance to open them:
Destro in a bag wasn't nearly as beat up as some of the others pictured here, but still not worth displaying on card so I opened him. Baroness was packed in a box with bubble wrap but the box was too small so the top of her card is curled over. Haven't opened her yet though. Gung-Ho was in the sturdier, narrower box and his card is beautiful, which is ironic because he's the one I was definitely going to open. I can probably hold off until I get my Pulse order, which looks to be in process. Today when I got home I found Lady Jaye, in a bag, on my doorstep. She was beat up the most by far so I opened her. I like her although I nearly snapped the spear getting it out of the package, oops. I have all four of these on order from Pulse so hopefully I'll get at least one of each in displayable condition. I'm not really a MOC collector though so if not I'll use the extras for customs or holiday gifts/donations. Don't think we will ever get a 1997 Jaye in Classified but I really like that version so that might be fun to do. |

Just like the majority of people have reported, my carded figures also arrived in envelopes.
I don't understand why Walmart decided to wrap each figure in envelopes, then ship them individually and not as an entire order. I would have appreciated the effort if the figures were then put in a properly sized box with padding....like ...um... BBTS has or Star Action Figure UK. The way the Baroness was ripped up. I suspect she was damaged before shipping. The top corner was folded over inside the envelope with the top tab ripped. I think that Walmart has received numerous complaints on this specific issue. Customer service went straight to Refund. Not return and replace. Nor return for refund. Not even store credit voucher. Flat out refund... which was a pleasant surprise. I just hope that Hasbro re-releases the carded figures on heavier cards and in mailer boxes. That will really drive up the collectable nature of the few minty flimsy cards. So has anyone else had customer service go straight to Refund?

I see Gung Ho is sold out and readily being scalped on eBay. I had a return label on mine for a replacement but I guess they'd just do refund now. Oh well it looks good out of the package.

Destro was a return (last week Thursday), but Baroness and Gung Ho (Sunday/Monday) were straight up refunds.
Pulse estimated ship date is 5 August, so we'll probably start to see people get them this coming Saturday or Monday.

Gung Ho rec'd in plastic bubble baggie. Not as crumpled as Baroness.
Did Hasbro disclose who sculpted the super beautiful Baroness face? Masterpiece. Her hips and buns are a bit narrow though. Accessory selection also much better than Cobra Island. Having the V1 Gung Ho and V1 Storm Shadow feels good. Finally feels like the teams are coming together. Just need a normal Duke and V1 Cobra Commander... V1 Firefly, V1 Quick Kick. I would appreciate if we could order the stands that come with Walmart ARAH Retro. |
