G.I. Joe Classified Series

Ordered Budo, Slice & Dice. Which is funny given I already said a while back that Jinx and Storm v2 were the last of that kind of thing I wanted but I always liked Slice plus the other two look incredible.

Kinda gutted that Mercer is a two-pack, I really don't want another Sarge, though he does look good considering.
 
I have had issues since shortly before the F4 release. I have seen all those different errors messages and sometimes the hold bottom one as well. I even sent an email in last week and another one this week asking for help but have received nothing back from them. Really frustrating since I paid for Premium and cannot buy from them right now.y On the other hand my wallet is happier because I am not spending money now.

I'm in the same boat. At least he comes with a new head, new hats, and other stuff, and isn't a full repaint. Mercer, meanwhile, looks very interesting with his loadout of vector-style futuristic guns. Absolutely no use for that "neutral" Mercer head, Classified kills it with expressions. I suppose extra heads are always useful, sometimes you just need something to fill a helmet. It's frustrating knowing the set will be $55 (assuming), if you only want Mercer, but we're still getting off easy. They could have done ALL two packs, like ML team loves to do.
 
My head cannon is that Sarge turned ‘heel’ to go under cover at Cobra to recruit Mercer. Explains why Mercer is on the Marauders and why we have a new outfit for the Sarge.
 
I’m digging this Sarge because he is way removed from wrestling gear. My favorite Sarge by far as a kid was the version that came with the Warthog, followed by the Triple T version. This is better than both of those.
That said: we have Sunbow and Marauders in Classified so far, still need the mail-away and Triple T versions. This new one more-or-less satisfies my need for the Warthog version, but I’d take an official one as well.

Also: this Sarge build is just a couple recolors away from a couple different versions of Gung-Ho, both Battle Corps and Valor v Venom.
 
I run into that stupid phone number issue every time I check out on mobile but I never run into issues on Chrome / desktop either. A lot of people struggle with the Pulse site, at least over the past year.
 
Just a big old FUCK YOU to Amazon.ca and EBGames (Canada). The MMS is $75US, just like the HMS. EBGames recently got the HMS and is asking $97Cdn. Online etailers in Canada (Toy Snowman, DJC Collectibles) are askIng $105Cdn for the MMS, which is sort of reasonable given the current trade climate (and exchange rate0. Though I still think it is a bit high.


Amazon.ca and EBGames?? Amazon.ca wants $140Cdn ($102US) and EBGames wants $143Cnd ($105US). Not a chance in hell.
 
Like many others, I never had any desire for Budo until the renders and action shots appeared. He was the only thing I preordered today.

As much as I want Hawk as part of the OG 13, I couldn't pull the trigger on the MMS on the same day the Stinger is sitting at 24% off and barely moving from Amazon. I never was a fan of the MMS. I'm pretty sure that and the Mobat were the only things from the first wave my brother and I didn't get back in the day. Hawk or no Hawk, I don't see it selling out on Amazon anytime soon.

I get there may be some Sarge overkill but I think the Renegades two-pack is great. I'd much rather have him in military gear and Mercer — a personal favorite — looks great. Not sure what this means for the other two — could Red Dog and Taurus really carry another two pack? They seem too C-list for that. It would have been better to split up Sarge and Mercer.

Kind of a lackluster stream overall. I was looking forward to seeing more new renderings at least. I didn't watch every minute. Nothing on the current or future Haslabs?
 
Hint that a "chilly" Haslab will kick off by end of Yo Joe June. They're doing releases, if not streams, every week this month so no one week will be huge.

I believe there is a confirmed leak of precisely that two pack being in the pipeline. Makes sense to have it come hard on the heels of Sarge/Mercer. I’ll bet it will be a more limited release, though.

And yes, Mercer looks incredible. He’s a major favorite of mine as well: “ex-Cobra Viper who’s seen the life” was an incredible fertile jumping-off point for my imagination as a kid and I always figured Mercer for the leader of the Renegades who was always on the run from Javert-like Cobra operatives trying to bring him in and exact revenge. I definitely hope we get Mercer v2 down the line with his cool beard, one-arm chainmail and even more Viper-like outfit.
 
Update:


So DJC Collectibles has said that the actual price from Hasbro for Canada should be $105Cdn for the MMS, not the higher price point Amazon and EBGames are charging. It was an error on Hasbro Canada's part apparently. So hopefully they'll drop the price soon.

Apparently they're doing weekly Joe streams all month? So they're really stretching this out

Yes, and I think that's one of the few releases for next year we know about and I'm pretty sure I updated it on the first page of this thread.
