So glad they releas the v1 of storm Shadow, preorder him and spirit. Now just have to wait for them to make the bat available for preorder (going to need a couple of them).
That's a cool Storm Shadow figure. But for me, it's too late. I was able to buy a few figures from the line on the web. I have seen close to zero in stores. I missed out on all of the Target exclusives and decided to abandon the Classified line. I refuse to pay scalper prices. Hasbro really dropped the ball on this.
Yeah I was not happy with some of the early releases and the handling of exclusives. A couple of things happened that got me back in.
First, I feel like Hasbro wisely realized who their core customer base is for these figures and actually listened to us. Just look at the new releases. Storm Shadow, Spirit, and Croc Master are all pretty damn close to their original looks. Not like what they did at all with the initial releases of Duke, Scarlett, and Roadblock.
Also I got really lucky and picked up some of the exclusives I wanted off eBay for close to retail prices. Then, just now I saw GameStop had a couple I wanted in stock and on sale. Plus getting some pre-orders in at BBTS on the new releases helped.

Thank you JoeG! After reading your post, I went on ebay and was able to get most of the exclusive figures I wanted for a reasonable price. I got a firefly for $35 with free shipping. This figure was selling for over $100 on release. It's amazing how the prices have dropped on some of this stuff. I would be willing to bet that it's because a lot of people walked away from the line like I did.
Then I went to BBTS and preordered the 3 pack with SS, Spirit, and Cobra Office. I also ordered the Snake Eyes w/Timber. So thanks to you Joe, I'm back in.

Yeah hasbro did a major course correction with the line. They now are production more figure, I keep seeing CC, Flint, LJ on the pegs. They have now gotten rid of the nerf and future techy weapons and going old design with a few updates here and there. My only complaint is why do the have to release so many Cobra characters that are army builders???
They finally announced a vehicle for the Classified series and its a Haslab project which already met its funding goal.

It's still climbing so fast, it even met its first unlockable tier... rocket pod accessory!
Can't wait to see what else we get.
Emily said the tow hitch is for "a future accessory..."
(BTW this makes me EXTREMELY hopeful the star wars team is paying attention and they do a vehicle next!)

Damn I don’t even collect the classified line but imo the Cobra HISS is the most well know Cobra Vehicle. I will back this and here’s hoping we get all the unlocks.
Dammit....now I think I wanna get some Joe figs.

HISS went over 20K, pretty crazy, can't wait to get my hands on it! Plus saw the "checklist" for figures that runs into 2023, just amazing what they're doing with this line. Now if they'd only stop with the freakin' Con or Target exclusives it's be just about perfect.
