G.I.Joe Classified

[Sam]

What would be the best place to buy the classified figures in person? or even online within Australia? I know EB had the first 2 waves but they don't seem to be getting the 3rd wave (Zartan & Cobra Trooper)

Grateful for any help.

Popcultcha has Zartan for 40 bucks, but you've gotta buy some other stuff to make it worthwhile with the free shipping - https://www.popcultcha.com.au/g-i-jo...on-figure.html

With that said I've used them a number of times and always found their service decent.

Other than that I tend to use BBTS, but I think Cobra Trooper is very difficult to find and even then at high prices. Cobra Infantry would be easier to get a hold of, however not sure what the stock situation is like.

And just found out Classified Major Bludd is another Cobra Island US Target exclusive, the folks at Hasbro must not want collectors buying their stuff. I'm interested in these Classified figures because they look great, and on the whole I've found them to be better than Marvel Legends. And I'm not even a Joe fan - my knowledge of this franchise is close to zero.

Thanks Sam, definitely got some steps in the right direction.

Totally can relate to Hasbro not being the greatest at catering to fans when it comes to this line, the Target exclusives wind up being very pricey, don't even want to say how much the Baroness set me back. Sad to hear Major Bludd will be another exclusive, fingers crossed for a regular release down the line.

I hear ya, those Target exclusives are like a scalper's paradise.

I've just had a look and it appears you can get some Classified figures from Amazon Australia with free shipping too, so that you don't have to buy up to a certain amount to qualify.

For example, here is Zartan - https://www.amazon.com.au/Hasbro-GI-...141558&sr=8-14

and the others - https://www.amazon.com.au/s?k=joe+cl...ref=nb_sb_noss

You will see that Snake Eyes is going for around 80 bucks, but this figure is the same, just named incorrectly - https://www.amazon.com.au/G-I-Joe-E8...141558&sr=8-16

Gung Ho is one of my favourites so far, with the shipping though it's just under 50 dollars - https://www.amazon.com.au/Joe-Classi...8141558&sr=8-4

Good luck with the hunt!

Been over a year but is anyone still collecting these?

Still only have three Joes but my Cobra army is getting bigger. I recently got two Ally Vipers in from Amazon AU for $90.

I don't have any, but planning to get some upcoming retro-carded ones like Storm Shadow.

I do like the look of the retro carded ones but the only one I really want is the Baroness.

I think these are really cool and wanted Beachhead as he is my favourite character but being an exclusive, way too expensive for a non invested collector like me. Made me hold off collecting at all.

The Snake eyes/Timber 2 pack is amazing.

Now patiently waiting on Storm Shadow and Spirit to drop to retail price.

I heard someone say that Hasbro are releasing Tunnel Rat in the Classified series this year? If so, I'm not sure I can not jump into collecting this line. Beach Head, Tunnel Rat and Snake Eyes are my top 3 favourites. If they release an AWE striker, I would be over the moon.

Yup he was a "pipeline reveal" shown not long ago so hopefully he will be shown in figure form soon.
