G.I. Joe Classified Series

Love that biker setup!

My Crystal Ball is not even at the preparing stage goldurnit. Those rascals at Wal-Mart better not pull the rug out from under my order, I'd hate to have to feed the flippers to get him.

What the hell, Walmart???
So now Crystal Ball is back to “preparing” but also has a new August release date????

WHAT ARE YOU ON ABOUT, YOU FLORIDA-MAN OF MASS RETAIL??

 

[nik]

Ah shit, mine is also saying August 14th now. Damn.

I did not see this coming.

Damn. I'm guessing we all get that update before the weekend is over. TBH, a Classified preorder set to arrive only a month later was pretty shady to start with. Doesn't make it any better. So glad I woke up early to pre-order this. Big box preorder game is a JOKE.

Checked mine and it still says preparing. But due in August.

 

[KvHulk]

Damn, that's a real kick to the balls. I, of course, immediately checked my order. It changed from aug 14th to aug 15th?

 

[Justice]

I apparently also preordered Crystal Ball at Pulse. That one is due in August as well.

Knowing is half the battle. And it seems like Hasbro and Wal-Mart don't know s*** about when Crystal Ball is shipping. The other half is actually doing. And Wal-Mart and Hasbro aren't doing s***. So, if my Math is correct, they are losing 100% of the battle.

Nobody's really good at preorders, but man, Walmart absolutely gives zero f*cks about action figure preorders, huh. We had a brief run where they didn't screw the pooch on every preorder but they were due for a return to form. (I had a MOTU preorder canceled out of nowhere last week, but it was a figure I didn't care too much about. If they start screwing up Classifieds again every time, I'll riot.)

Did anyone actually receive their order for Crystal Ball? I could have sworn someone did and got all our hopes up…

Maybe he was on the same truck with the stolen McFarlane Supergirls? I'm just kidding, but the Walmart story is almost hard to believe


Imagine thinking you stole a truck of Marvel Legends, then you open the trailer and it's filled with McFarlane DC. What are you going to do with them? You don't even collect that scale...

It's starting.

We discussed in the tariff thread that it'll lead to bootlegging and organized action figure street gangs. Hijacking trucks of figures is just part of that.
