Joe Defender / Re: G.I. Joe Retro Line
« on: July 17, 2020, 10:46 AM »
Well, I was wrong. Modern reissues in vintage packaging. Loving the HISS and AWE Striker boxes, but I have the figures twice over already, so it’s kind of a bummer. Guess I figured with Star Wars and Ghostbusters getting the original stuff rereleased that was what a Hasbro would do here.

Were most of those comic figures listed from that EE exclusive wave? I remember hearing those were a pretty low production run.

Wandered into Wally yesterday and found one full set of six. I’m guessing that will be all my local store gets of these.

Much appreciated, it's usually me who buys an expensive one so everyone else can get them at regular price.
So far, refreshing all day, I've managed to get a Pre-order in for Lando @ about $18 shipped. That's it. It's absurd.
No problem. I too got tired of checking the website or Brickseek so I just bought the one I had to have. If I knew these were getting an online release in the Fall I’d have waited.

Joe Defender / 2020 G.I. Joe Retro Line
« on: March 17, 2020, 10:22 AM »
And the news we’ve all been waiting for, a return of 3.75” Joes. 
https://news.hisstank.com/2020/03/15/walmart-computer-listings-for-gijoe-retro-line-include-h-i-s-s-tank-68323
A line of Retro Joes, which I assume to be like the Retro Star Wars and Ghostbusters. I’m guessing that means o-ring style, but nothing seems to be confirmed yet. And also likely a Walmart exclusive. The listings mention a HISS Tank, because what is GI Joe without vehicles?
Not really sure who the code names identify, but I think Tarantula is Snake Eyes.

Found one Clone from this wave at a local Target. So close, and yet so far.

Joe Defender / Re: GI Joe: Classified 6" Figure Line
« on: February 28, 2020, 09:04 AM »
I was never too hot on 6” Joes, but I’m sure I’ll dabble in this line like I do Black Series and Marvel Legends. That Snake Eyes is amazing, but I think the rest look like they belong in the Fortnite line. Hopefully Destro and Storm Shadow look great.

I missed the original release so I’m looking forward to this. $150 is a lot of scratch for this, though.

New 6” line called GI Joe Classified. First wave is:
Snake Eyes
Destro
Duke
Scarlett
Roadblock
Glad to see Joe coming back, but I’m not sold on the 6” scale. Guess I’ll wait and see how they look at Toy Fair.

This is interesting. I’m guessing it’s role play stuff, but we’ll see.

Bought one of these from Kids Warehouse and it arrived today. Took a bit, but the Tank was only like $22 so that’s fine.

Sounds like Hasbro has a lead for their GI Joe team, and there's not one but two lines coming from Hasbro for GI Joe. One based on the Snake Eyes movie, and an Evergreen line that I assume means classic designs. It'll be interesting to see what they have at Toy Fair next year...
Some more info on the Evergreen thing:

Grabbed one of these today finally. Figure it’s intended to be a Black Friday item.
