I canceled my order yesterday. The more I thought about, the more I didn't want it. Maybe sometime in the future.

I'm guessing, but very likely Hasbro has a contract with Hiya that provides them the right to distribute in this specific form factor (ultimately Hiya's bread and butter form factor) w/in Asia only. It's not really all that unusual. The strange part is all of the advertising Hiya has been doing to English speaking markets. It could just be English speaking retailers/news sites translating to English and then posting all over the place that Snake Eyes and Storm Shadow were coming, but somehow I doubt it. Could also be that various English speaking retailers initially thought they'd have the right to distribute, or even Hiya thought they would, but then this turned out to not be the case. Guess only Hiya & Hasbro can answer to the specifics, and ultimately I hope that they do because I'd like to know how this all went down.
Personally, I don't need a Classified Snake eyes shrunk down to 4", but that Storm Shadow-- based on the now defunct early Classified design-- was a must have. Too bad I may never get a chance at one. |

Full Force did report that when they reached out to Hiya that they were told there was some discussion going on with Diamond to get these distributed stateside. I'm not interested in these enough to pay $30+ so I will wait and hope for the best.

I wonder how Classified is doing in Asia that Hasbro seems confident enough to aim a 3.75 ME series there after removing same from U.S. shores due to lack of sales.

Doesn't seem like that would be a hard sell. If it's not the licensing agreement with Hasbro that is restricting these, I'd be surprised that obtaining American distribution for these would be any great difficulty, since they already distribute their other lines here.

China, Thailand, India, Singapore, Malaysia, Philipinnes only. In case I forget again, the official Hiya Gi Joe links don't seem to even have Japan listed on here lol. It's only allows pre-orders and shipping to those 6 countries. This Hiya Gi Joe thing has been such a confusing mess. No idea, what's going on.
