I think his point about some of the Haslabs not being things fans have asked for is a legitimate one, and something I've heard echoed here quite a bit as "Haslabs are supposed to be dream items". I'd love to read that article should you decide to write it.

I have inside knowledge everything i hinted to you all past 2 years happened way i said it would. I just keep seeing everyone create facts what is going on by mostly feelings not actual facts. There are other issues that come into play but main reasons what i said. I cannot say into more detail i said to much already. Emily and few others visit here and not gonna toss people i know under the bus. I want my target stuff too but looks grim all over companies in full chaos mode and people in power positions are bad at there jobs. There are other issues like i said but i just commented on stuff i know as fact. I just trying to help sorry if i sound like you know just on edge cause nobody wants to see whats happening and whats next. Stay safe and prep when you can i turned to digital art of joes for comic strips its free and people still paying a lot for it.... Here is free art for you all i made this and to show my gratitude for this site. I wont be around much now done collecting for long term but yo joe!

Is it too early to say that GI Joe is dying again? Yeah, probably, but it's still depressing seeing the line sputter out at this point. The figures haven't been stocked in ages with any regularity over here in Australia (not that they were stocked with regularity in the first place other than Arctic Storm Shadow - that thing is STILL languishing in Amazon warehouses) and that's probably slaughtered the line in one market; now the line is Pulse exclusive for European collectors so that's sad.
I picked the wrong time to start collecting. 3.75 inch is all but dead other than sparse O-Ring reissues, 6 inch is winding down after the aesthetic shift to Toon, the movie toys barely showed up anywhere and the entire franchise all just keeps going downhill. It's kinda sad that the only Joe thing that's interested me in the past year has been that very compromised Megatron...

Yes, it is a boutique/ labor of love line in the big scheme of Hasbro's roster of product lines. It has ZERO other media support at the moment, no TV show, a awful failure of a movie... and it is still selling well. Anyway, I can't keep getting sucked into this... My Classified purchases in 2022: Alley Vipers x 2 (I got another 4 in December) BATS x 6 (Got 4 in December) Gung Ho Retro x 2 Destro Retro Baroness Retro Lady Jaye Retro Storm Shadow x 3 Spirit x 3 Cobra Officer x 6 HISS Haslab Blue Ninjas x 3 That's over $1000 in GI JOE product... WAAAAY TOO MUCH for any sane person to spend on toys. So excuse me if I'm not panicking about my outstanding preorders. I'd be interested to see everyone else's damage for the year, lol. |

Yea, I dont understand the whole GIJoe line is dying bit, Haslab Hiss tank was an overwhelming success, pre-orders for figures are everywhere, there is a huge demand for the figures, and they havent scratched the surface on characters yet, let calm down abit
I've spent way more on classified series than I planned, backed the HISS tank, (3) BATS, (2) Alley-Vipers, (1) movie baroness, (1) movie Stormshadow,(1) Croc master, (1) Cobra Officer, (1) Stalker, (1) Spirit, (1) Stormshadow, (1) Movie snake-eyes (1) Retro Gung-ho, numerous pre-orders (PP Viper, TF Outback, Crimson Guard x2, TF Recondo, TF Bazooka, PP Officer, Dr. Mindbender), dont even ask me how much ive spent with Gridiron studios,lol, plus i bought a 3D printed Classified scale GI Joe LAW off ebay

I saw Spirit, Cobra Officer, and Croc Master at Walmart yesterday! It's so cool seeing Joes on the shelf. So rarely happens. Best part about it - not a single movie figure to be seen! Maybe we are moving into a new phase finally.

Lets hope, unfortunatly i visited my neighborhood Target and they have around 7 movie figures, mostly Baroness, which again is funny as they have most things in clearence right now but those are not among them.

I think taking 100 dollars off the price might help.
