Hard to believe how quiet this thread is now that the Dragonfly is shipping. Anyone get theirs yet?

Label’s created not shipped yet.
I’m in no rush because I gotta figure out where it’s going.

Dragonfly arrived today! I’ve only unpacked everything but haven’t assembled it yet so it looks like a helicopter crash at the moment. I have to say I am really impressed with the presentation of the unpacking. It feels like you’re opening a high end item like a statue. Once the outer tape is cut, you don’t need a knife anymore. Everything tabs open. Very classy. I can’t believe this cost less than the Hiss did. They really packed some value into this thing.
And this is of course bigger than anticipated. I mean they gave the dimensions and all but nothing really prepares you for something until you see it in person. I’m glad I didn’t order two now. I’m quickly realizing I’m going to have to start limiting myself to just one of these big type vehicles. Glad I held off on two Rattlers now. Room is quickly running out! If anyone is in need of an unopened Hiss or Vamp, let me know

Got my Dragonfly today!!! To make it even better I found a Tiger Paw in the wild, used the 25% off Target Coupon and another $11 in Target reward points.
Good Joe week.

Dragonfly arrived today.
I’m going to wait until mid-December to open it all up and find a space for it.
I planned on keeping Glenda in box, but after seeing the faces for Ripcord and Crazylegs, I might keep them mint too and just wait for the regular Retro cardback versions.

This Dragonfly is SERIOUS - pardon me while I go make room for this thing somewhere. Anyone have a hanger to lease out?
The figures I don't care much about but the copter is great, from what I've seen on YouTube.

I knew I’d like the Iron Grenadiers but had no idea Alpine (my first figure for this character) was so cool!
I saw the new Storm Shadow at GameStop today but passed on it. I prefer SS as a Cobra anyway but I’ll pick this one they fix some issues for the Retro Cardback.
However, I couldn’t pass up the GiJoe Compendium One at GameStop. What’s beast of a book!!

Not your fault but it’s kind of messed up the compendiums ended up at retail before the kickstarter backers get theirs. I do fear what all four are going to look like in hand

I think some of the hesitancy on Alpine, IMHO, is the removable hat. If his hat was molded on, I think that would have made him look a bit less like a middle aged divorced guy in a minivan. I don't really get the removable glasses/baseball hat/beret sometimes. There are some instances, like Falcon, where they would have been better off molding it into the head. Stuff like Lady Jaye and the removable hairpiece works though, that was a good compromise. But probably expensive to do from an R&D perspective.
Same thing with the Dreadnoks, how often are most collectors going to want it take off their sunglasses? If I could trade molded on sunglasses for the engine backpack / gas can backpack instead for Buzzer / Ripper, that would have been IMHO a no brainer trade off. I mean, IIRC, Big Ben has his hat molded on, so it's not like they are unwilling to do it.
Will still hold to my belief every Joe should come with the classic Snow Job laser rifle. And every Cobra get that grease gun laser submachinegun thing.

I had to do so googling to see if it was a different compendium as soon as I saw it in their photo set. Super goofy of them to do that...either they're hoping for double/quintuple-dipping or maybe they have a contractual obligation...but yea, it's goofy of them.Not your fault but it’s kind of messed up the compendiums ended up at retail before the kickstarter backers get theirs.

After a month of this thread being dead, it's nice to see some discussion in here again.
The year is almost over. Anyone want to share their Top 5 Classified figures for 2024?

Yeah I couldn’t afford the Kickstarter especially with the Rattler HasLab flying around. I’d rather get them separately when I’m able to afford them.

1. Retro Duke
2. Retro Cobra Commander
3. Retro Scarlett
4. Retro Beachhead
5. Dreadnok Torch
Yeah, I’m loving the Retro Cardback sub-line. It’s exactly my jam.
Not much to say on these, really. I guess we could chime in whenever a release hits our doorstep but there's not too much to dissect. At this point, Hasbro has really hit their stride on this and finally should be able to smoothly sail with these having worked out most of the kinks.
I don't know what I would list as top 5 for me as I can't remember what all came out between January thru say-September. I'll say all vehicles received for me this year have been top-notch and I think I bought all the ones available. Even some on sale at retail (just got Wreckage w/Tiger Paw for $32.99 at Target).
