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

My amazon.com BAT arrived today via UPS 2 day shipping and after shipping and exchange it was still under C$40. No need to waste time missing out on it in the wild now.

Waitaminute... there's only 3 figures in this set and some blast effects, but at that price it works out to... $47+tax per figure?!?!?

I already have 2 Vipers so I wasn't paying much attention to this set, is there anything else that comes with this pack to justify that insane price?

Don't forget the buyer's remorse.


Remember the days when a multi-figure repack set worked out to actually be cheaper than buying the figures separately?


Good times.....

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

I preordered one of everything Thursday. Finally got a couple of BATs in-hand from a Pulse order and they look fantastic.

Excited by all the pipeline reveals, and I actually want to get a couple of each of the Python Patrol troops. Might be a challenge.

I did see that Dorkside is splitting up the Viper 3-packs so that you can buy just the officer or the pair of Vipers. Spreading the word in case it helps anyone here.

Regarding the Classified figures on retro cardbacks… are they strictly a Walmart exclusive or has it been said anywhere that a few will find their way on to Hasbro Pulse?

I freaking hate Walmart exclusives up here, and I really have my doubts of actually seeing one at any Walmart near me. Real shame as that retro Gung Ho is a must for me.

I believe the retro card backs are for "Walmart Con" in the summer. Which means they may or may not randomly show up in stores sometime between September and December if I go by my own past experiences. Some of the Real Ghostbusters items did show up on the Canadian site months later, so it is worth keeping an eye out there too.

Did you take into account the $11 import fee and $10 shipping fee? When you do that it comes out to around 111 US which is around 143 Canadian. That's if they don't charge any customs fees.

I pre-ordered mine from one of our sponsors. Base price 129.99. Total after taxes was around $145.50. Plus, I've never had a pre-order cancelled or go missing from them. With amazon I have. So, for me, it's worth the extra $2.

Who's got it for $129.99. I know DJC has it for $125, but then shipping is extra.
