    I feel I need to start a campaign for Sunbow Deco Flint for both the Classified and Retro collection.

    I'm astounded one doesn't exist yet.

    Yep, they just sent me an email too telling me I have to approve the delay. It's like "Okay, my options are to approve it or to cancel the order. What if I don't want to approve the delay but I still want the order?"

    Still have a sealed Strorm Shadow if anyone is interested. Slight damage to the box since Amazon was nice enough to mail it in a bubble envelope :mad:  Jackasses

    I like your gag better, but it reminded me of when I did this:

    Who knows if or when amazon may get them. I would jump on wheeljokers offer if I didnt already have mine. I had my order delayed and then I canceled when a friend told me he had an extra and I could make a trade with him for it.

    I like him but I don't know if its just that I don't have an attachment for this particular deco or what. I just think I'll wait for something closer to the original design.

    This Cobra Commander looks so damn regal. I'm tempted to grab a Pimp Destro to go with it.

    I was initially going to go with Duke as the base for Claymore, but made the change to a straight Gung Ho repaint at the 23rd hour.

    Great job! I had a double take because at first glance I thought these were 25th.

    I cancelled my Retro preorder today. I love the new head sculpt for Roadblock, but I can’t get past the decreased leg articulation.
    I’ve been opening up my 25th/POC/30th collection lately and everything I have already surpasses the retro items so no need to spend the $$$.

    Now if Hasbro releases some retro based on 1988+ years or true retro releases for ARAH, then I’m all in.

    Found the retro Hiss, SE, SS, and Baroness at my local Walmart. Couldn’t resist, love the packaging. Really miss the height of the 25th collecting. It was great seeing a lot of Joe stuff on store shelves. I regret selling a big chunk of my collection

    This reminds me of when Snake Eyes stole Zartan's bike in Renegades!
