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

Thanks. I put one in for $18 Buzzer.

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

Dang! Buzzer wasn't $18 when I preordered it on Amazon. Oh well, I preordered them all from Gamestop when they went up. Don't know why you couldn't pre-order them for in-store pickup though. Hope this isn't normal going forward with the free shipping threshold being $75 or whatever it is now. Nice that the PuleCon exclusive set was available for pre-order even though it was a pass for me. Wish they would have had Snowjob, Tripwire, Chuckles and the Valkyries.

The Joe team really knocked it out of the park at PulseCon. So many name drops and renders. Excited for all of them except for maybe the generic 60th anniversary figures. The price tags will determine whether I purchase those. They'll likely be Pulse exclusives as well.(Though my HA Roadblock would love that Ma Deuce) Nice they'll be releasing a retro Eel and Snow Serpent.(It'd be nice if the one I ordered from Gamestop would arrive someday)

My God were the Transformers(Not one G1 reveal) and Star Wars panels super lame in comparison.

While I agree that the Joe team was the highlight of the day, personally, I do think they got the short end of the stick.



They were so rushed due to the nature of timing for the day that it really wasn't as good a panel as it could have been. You would think that your currently most popular brand (my opinion based on what I see on the boards) would be given time to work their magic.


Also I am a bit surprised at not seeing either the VAMP or the MMS in hand. I really thought one, if not both of them, would be shown off. However that is probably just me being greedy. I mean.......

Holy crap is he kitted out! I guess next year I'll have to explain to my wife why she keeps hearing me around the house going "BANG. BANG. BANG. BANG." Ah good old Gary Chalk, he made 90s cartoons so great.


Lots of great reveals. Loved to hear the Ferret getting a name only reveal as well. It looks to be another stellar year for Joe coming up.

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

Did a few more preorders over the phone with GS. Duke, Ripper, Buzzer.

The rest I will play the wait and see game with.

Tempted on that Crimson strike team but only if I can unload some stuff to prop the budget

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

Preordered the Crimson Strike Team in store today. I tried on the site and every time it was saying preorder, but when I went into the actual product page it was sold out.

So since I was passing by my local store I jumped in and preordered one set. $15 deposit required.

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

Ooof, well, thanks for the update on that guys; I wanted the set, but not that bad (as in not bad enough to have to use my presently limited funds on that and not other things, lol).
