for Starhawk!
Lifeline is probably my favorite Joe so I can't wait to have that pop of red on my shelf.
My first GI Joe figure that wasn't a hand me down from my brothers. Loved mail-away Lifeline!

I generally only buy Joe Classified figures when they hit a certain discount level, but I bought two of those Police ESU at full price and absolutely love them!
That Ghost-Viper with DIRE Beasts that is going to be part of Walmart's Collector Con looks sick also!
Before I get any flak about only buying these once they hit discount, I collected every single figure until they went to the windowless packaging (because I rarely open these) and then changed my rule to buy only discounted figures at that time. After missing out on so much during the windowless era I've stuck to that discounted rule. Of course the quality had greatly improved since that time as well.
This is also why I rarely post in the Classified forum. Marvel Legends is my primary line (for 20+ years) with a little bit of other stuff here and there. However just in the past week I've bought the Tele-Viper with Flight Pod, Fire Team 788 and Gnawgahyde sets because they all finally hit my discount level. Just missed on the Valkyries before they went back up.

Nothing wrong with waiting for a deal. All great pick-ups!

Especially at a time when they're dumping six months of product on us in the span of a couple weeks.
I think Pulse already sent me a shipping notice for Lifeline ...

I can't imagine why anyone would give anyone flak for waiting for discounts. Maybe there's SOME lingering 'buy it at full price or the line will end' attitudes. But I think pretty much everyone at this point understands how expensive shit is. I'd say about a third of my Joe collection, or thereabouts, was purchased on some type of discount.

It wasn't for long. Toynewsi said on 9/30 that they were marked to $34.99 on Amazon but I missed them at that price. They're at $63.18 now with only 3 left in stock. I think that by the time I saw that they were back to $49.99 or higher already that day.

I ended up getting the Trouble Bubble and Gnawgahyde from that same notification, though.
