Gamespot's Scarlett got pushed back again, now May 10th.
Cancelled and ordered from amazon.

Got my Metalhead yesterday from Gamestop. Really like him. I don't have the issues that others had mentioned about the hose being loose. The hoses on mine stay on very secured. Surprised how stable he is standing as well, even with that big backpack.

Seeing pics making the rounds of some leaked Raptor parts today.

Glad to see he's in the mix. The craziest ones are usually fun figures.

What did you have to do to get the missiles in their launchers?

Amazon has this guy on sale. I had preordered back when they first went up but Amazon cancelled that order on me in March. Now that it's on sale (about $7 off), I'll give him another go.

I am wondering about the missiles though since I've heard they don't fit into the launchers (the larger ones being too large and the smaller ones being too small and only sitting loose in there).

Re: G.I. Joe Classified Series 6 inch discussion
 

For the smaller ones, I rolled up paper into each hole to give the missiles some friction.

Since I don't like using blast effects, I literally just shoved the missiles in. The fins will get bent.

I'm thinking if the $4 savings from Gamestop is worth me waiting....

No, I'll order from Amazon and refund the GS one.

Too bad it looks like the "pet" is going to be just a slug type figure (no articulation). I guess that comes with the territory since he'll probably have some big ass wings.


Looks good though, can't wait to see at least a digital render.

Re: G.I. Joe Classified Series 6 inch discussion
 

Ah, cool. Thanks for the info.

I'm also wondering if the original arah figure's missiles will fit in the classified's launchers. My original Metalhead is stored away in a box so he's not using the missiles anyway. I might try those when I get my classified figure in hand.

Re: G.I. Joe Classified Series 6 inch discussion
 

Yeah that price drop combined with a $20 gift card I had made him just over $30 after tax. So not too bad a price for a deluxe figure.


Now just have to wait and see if they ship him early, or if I'll have to wait until mid-late May.


Oh and I got payment confirmation for the HMS from Pulse. So just waiting on that now to ship as well.

My Duke arrived from Gamestop yesterday. I finally got a Duke in my collection again. One of my favourite so far.

With his half-brother (if you follow the cartoon lore)
