Yeah, I originally thought wave 2 was gonna be all Cobras with Gung-Ho, much like how wave one was all Joe's with Destro. But I think this wave is only 3 figures because a case will probably have 3 Red Ninjas in it. As for wave 3, here is my guesses: Lady Jaye Baroness Storm Shadow Ally Viper Zartan (with an exclusive blue one at some point) I think we'll get most of the characters on the website. I also think only one troop builder per wave, hence the red Ninjas in wave 2, and there will probably be other waves like that including B.A.Ts and Cobra Troopers.
I was thinking about it, I think we could still get some G.I. Joe vehicles, at least some of the smaller ones. I mainly see this happening as Mcfarlane is doing something similar with the DC stuff with their first vehicle, the Bat Raptor, made for 7-inch figures.
I'd love to see a case like that but the current breakdown is: Cobra Commander x 3 Gung-ho x 2 Red Ninja Viper x 1 True but a direct homage would've been preferred and for Ninja Force Storm Shadow, the Classified version from Amazon is likely the only one we're getting.
And that thing is an extreme shelfwarmer. I bought mine on sale for $15, at Best Buy. Knowing Hasbro, the shit would be $60.
Some of the POC modernizations could be a good basis to start from in Classified. Like this desert battle Storm Shadow: Storm Shadow (Desert Battle) - G.I. Joe Database 6 swords that can combine, chains, ninja stars and claws. I didn't think I would like the figure but it turned out to be 1 of my favorites back in 2010.
Where are you getting $50 from? I haven't had to pay a dime for shipping at Pulse. Even if it is $50, the moment you order five figures you're covered, so everything else is free beyond that.
Tempted for the Sgt Slaughter, but I feel left out because I missed the notification for the regal CC. It'll be fine, if more don't go up I'm sure they'll be on ebay. And I didn't know about the exclusive storm shadow so its pre-ordered now. That ninja force was one of my top favorites way back. All in all I like what we've seen so far, I just aant them in my hands now!
Only ones I’ve doubled up on so far are Snake Eyes because Snake Eyes and it is the best looking one out of all of them still and the Red Ninja to have some red ninjas. I’m still not trying to get deep into this until I see some designs I really, really like. But yeah, my definition of not getting too deep is only passing on two releases so far and doubling up on two already so basically Hasbro owns my ass.
Damn, I was wrong! That's gonna be a bitch to troop build at retail Yeah, you are definitely right on the price. I didn't realize you could get that at retail, I totally would have, I thought it was online only. Yup, preordered on BBTS right when it went up, along with the Alpha weapon pack. Yeah, what Caprius said. Also, state taxes are a bitch in NY.
I’m getting more tempted by artic ninja storm shadow... and I’m now wondering ‘what would the red ninjas look like with that storm shadow head and snake eye’s gear...?’ And whether the boil and pop method would work for the waist joint (eg, roadblock upper half on hung ho lower half). This is how wallets are emptied.
