    Something tells me to hold off on the Baroness for now. They can milk the black deco for another run once everyone has bought up their ugly motorcycles.

    There will be crimson and blue repaints, but I see another Black Deco coming. I just hope it isn't all blinged up with gold. Silver would look great.

    Idunno. I was right about an straight black repaint of the exclusive Snake Eyes being in wave 1. Too bad they screwed us with his weapons.

    I hope they realize they can still sell an ARAH inspired primo deco Baroness. Either that or make enough of these ugly bikes so people without access to a Target can get this version at close to retail.

    I haven’t seen these in person but apparently Target is selling realistic 1/12 motorcycles for $10. I’ve seen someone use them for Classified Snake Eyes online.

    That is exactly what I mean when I say that different weapons would have made this a must-have.

    I’m not very familiar with bikes, but it didn’t look like a Harley to me.

    Ah, okay. If it were Harley you'd see the big Harley Davidson logo front and center on the box. I've seen those around and they look to be about 1:12 scale, but I've never tried to see if they'd work with any of my 6" figures.

    Avoid 1/12 motorcycles, they’re too small. I got one and snake eyes looks like he’s riding a kids bike. 1/10 would probably scale better

    Eh, in all honesty, I shouldn't even think about GI Joe right now considering I am still a ways away from being able to afford the Sentintels. Not to mention the Strong Guy wave, Kingpin, and Apocalypse.

    Plus, Hasbro will reissue the Cobra Troopers later on.

    I finally got my first GI Joe Classified figure!

    I was very surprised to feel the shipping box it came in and thought they might have sent other stuff with it but that is unlike Hasbro Pulse. Well, I was wrong...the box is huge and super premium feeling. Nicely done Hasbro! And I don’t praise them very often.

    I ordered their complete weapons set, but I no longer see it listed on their site. I also ordered sheet plastic in a couple thicknesses and colors so I can make guns that don't require full paint jobs. Still working on a wrist dart, such a small and detailed item is proving to be a real challenge.
