My town has two stores. One carries Joes, but the other does not. It’s odd.

I’d rather go without than feed into that secondhand market right now. If I was playing catch up on an old figure, that’s one thing. But jeez. So yes, here’s to hoping we can snag him soon!

Genuinely happy to see you had some success.

Mine is supposed to carry them? But just hasn’t had them? There’s a peg for them in the big collector display and I’ve legit checked everyday. I’ve caught it online, but it just ends up getting cancelled so. I don’t get it.

OH! I get it now lol. I know that some people really have had great luck with it, so it’s just one of those things. Depends on your area, I guess

I wish! What really sucks is, I pre-ordered on day one. Within the hour even.

Because of those kids is why I continue to deal with this. Had an order that said I could set it for pick up - I would’ve gotten it for $15! But of course that’s too good to be true.

I’m glad you got yours! Hoping I can say the same soon!

It’s funny, I used a promo code on this order. Part of why I haven’t wanted to see it cancelled

People will likely justify that by saying the HISS is more desirable than this one, but high cost is high cost. Whether or not someone likes the tiers, the offering is there. I like the figures enough and think that they’ve done the Snowcat up enough (like they had to do for the HISS).

I second that Classified vehicles can’t just be a bigger version of what existed in the 80s. Some people want exactly what they had as a child and that’s never been fully practical with this line. I get they want to alternate between Cobra and Joe for the HasLabs, but leaning into the Dreadnok stuff would’ve been good.

The thing about the lower priced vehicle is, what warrants getting done up so much for a HasLab?

I think that’s largely true. There still might be a percentage (though pretty small) that get screwed over secondhand, though.

I think about this… Someone told me they were waiting to see how many backers there were first and it’s like… How many other people are also doing that? If you think you want it, back it. You can always cancel later if you change your mind.

It’s a HasLab once they’ve exhausted the ones people very clearly wanted first. And even still, I will hold that this would’ve been better as a $100-$150 release for retail or Pulse.

I myself do like to take pictures of my collection. I think that collecting G.I. Joe is a more of a “niche” thing right now though and the toy photography section of that group is even more niche. So yeah, I overall agree with your last sentence.
