G.I. Joe Classified Series 6 inch discussion

[canprime]

Thirded for those who got charged for Snow Job, but no sign of the Trouble Bubble.


I was hoping the end of the year might go a bit easier on my wallet, but looking at it, here is a list of what is still waiting to release, and what I have yet to buy that has been released:


Desert SE
Tunnel Rat
Grunt
Low-Light
FireFly
Crimson Viper
Snow Serpent
Nunchuk
Steel Corp 2-pack



Exclusives:


Chuckles (missed him, hoping for a restock)

Tripwire
TF Flint
PP Vypra
Fire Team 788
Crimson Alley Viper
Mole Rat
Shooter
NF Big Ben
Range Viper
Shadow Tracker (not officially revealed)
Wolf Spider (not officially revealed)
Eel
Trouble Bubble
PP Crimson Guard
TF Dusty
Crimson Strike Team (PulseCon exclusive)


I just did a quick count and a rough estimate for all of this product is about $1200Cdn (before tax) based on retail price (and estimates from Pulse pricing).


That doesn't include the Valkyries, Snowjob and the Arctic BAT which i have already paid for/received in the past few weeks.



On top of that there is whatever else will be revealed at PulsCon next week.....OOF-FA!!!

I did some math not that long ago, like two months ago maybe. During the Dragonfly campaign.

If someone had one of everything on order it was pushing towards 3k.

That includes if someone had pre paid for two yet to be received Haslabs.

Oh dear....

I think its safe to say we will see Hawk, Ripper, Buzzer, Helix and Shockwave go up for preorder. Maybe Mutt and Junkyard and of course the crimson strike force

opened up my Trubble Bubble and I wouldn't say I'm disappointed, exactly. But there are definitely some quality issues.

Plastic stress on the gun, where the ball-joint attaches and the canopy tab not fitting into the slot properly. Kind of a shame.

Despite that, I really enjoy it. It's a nice looking vehicle

So basically a faithful recreation of the original toy from the 80s.

I'm hoping we get more info (maybe even a pre-order) for the VAMP and MMS.

I'm almost positive at SDCC Emily and Lenny's boss said we would see a physical model at Pulsecon of the Vamp. He also said we might get a vehicle before the end of the year. Which I am guessing will be the SMS to go with the Hiss. I'm expecting the Vamp and SMS to be at the same price point.

Ba-Da-Bump.


Unfortunately there seem to be a number of QC issues with the set. The Tele-Viper itself is getting a lot of rave reviews.


However the Flight Pod seems to have a common problem with the Canopy not fitting properly. The stress marks on the gun and I have read a few reviews where the missiles, and the part that holds them onto the Pod, are not staying on well. They apparently pop off easily.


Not a great look for a Pulse exclusive.

Fenrys on TFW posted a tweet from preternia of the upcoming Crimson Strike team. Looks like it's going to be a nice set, even as re-decos.
