GI Joe: Classified

[darthapathy]

I guess you are just starting out... How involved do you plan to get? Are you just going for certain characters? Most? Completionist?

I'm sure I'm close to triple-digits. I didn't plan to get too involved, but it happened. I guess I wanted to get the ones I like, plus some I never got as a kid. Hard to do when some figures in Haslabs are expensive. I guess I'm enjoying the line.

I feel like I'm enjoying it more than Star Wars anymore (which I've been inclined to drop altogether since the variety I loved is no longer there and the paywalling of the Tonnikas was kind of the proverbial straw for me). Maybe this is also a reason I'm not too excited to do Top Tens?

I don't plan on being a competionist, but I would like to get a lot (space and wallet permitting). My plan is to get the figures that I had as a kid (82-87) for the nostalgia factor and some that came in later waves that I find interesting. I plan to army build various Cobra figures. I would love to get the Haslab offerings, especially the Rattler.

Stopped at the Target closest to work earlier this afternoon. I wanted to see what they had for Star Wars and GI Joe. They had Breaker on clearance

More GI Joe showing up on clearance. I think that it's the Retro figures.

 

[darthvlad]

That's a nice one to get.

Had to cancel my AWE Striker and Joe Bunker (big ticket items)... my wallet's taking a pounding over the past few months and need a break. Only really wanted Crankcase anyway... Maybe they'll pop up cheaper later.

Bummer man. The AWE Striker was a favorite of mine as a kid, and has the distinction of being the last GI Joe ARAH item that I ever purchased. It's on my wishlist

I do have a few 6 inch on retro cards... it started with ordering a few figures for a friend, who ended up not needing them. But I've grabbed a few since then.

- Cobra Commander
- Cobra Trooper
- Destro
- Baroness
- Tele Viper
- Rock and Roll
- Snake Eyes

I got the MMS with Hawk today. Nice to have another of the OG13 off the list.

Still debating on getting the AWE Striker. The pics look good, but I'm just wanting to space out the time of a credit card hit. Apparently, this is only available on Pulse.

Now we need them to announce Flash and Grand Slam. Would you want Grand Slam with the HAL or the JUMP?

I don’t really care. I suppose the JUMP would be a deluxe figure compared to the HAL. I’d take either right now.

Major score at Walmart tonight

 

[darthvlad]

For $10?! That’s a steal.

I find it amazing when stores put out new stuff on clearance… well, I hear about it, I never have much luck coming across it.

I rarely have that kind of luck either. Also, this was the first time seeing him at brick and mortar.

It looks like Walmart has already raised the price on Classified

 

[darthapathy]

Surprise find at Ross this afternoon. She was way down on my list. She was kind of "if I found her for a decent price, I'll probably get her". $6 was a decent price

 

[darthapathy]

Scored another bargain today. I had only seen Law and Order briefly at Walmart, and nowhere else. That was until today. Stopped by a Target this afternoon and found him on a clearance end cap. I couldn't pass up on this. I found a Snake Eyes v4 as well. I grabbed him since Target still had him for $24.99

 

[darthvlad]

Nice pick-ups. Today, I got the Ghost-Viper. While it's not one of the official Joe figures from the original days (maybe it's altogether a new character?), I though it looked neat and got one. I may pick up a second if I can find one on clearance to display with alternate helmet. If I don't no worries.

Great score. I want to get at least one to go with Crystal Ball (when I get one). I had Crystal Ball back in the day, but thought he was kind of goofy (like Raptor). The Classified version looks fantastic

Pulse has had some Classifieds on Retro cards lately on sale. Dangit, for <$20, I can't say no. I ordered a few figures off their site yesterday.

😉

 

[darthvlad]

Nice score. If only I knew which figures to wait on.

Edit: Saw the status change on the Steeler/Short-Fuze pack on the Target website change at a few stores yesterday (none near me), but today they are all back to saying the same thing. These should hit end of the week? Of course, being close to the city, it's hit or miss if my nearby stores will have these. Really want this set.

Edit 2: Perhaps I was wrong in the first edit. A few stores like Fenton and Arnold say, "Out of Stock", where the ones by me say "Not Sold at This Store." I'm sure the ones that say OOS will get there's soon and a few that say, "Not Sold" will change as well. I think the other stores will get their stock first since they're out of StL area.
