I got the cobra commanders off ali express. They look and feel great. I hadn't been collecting classified when the snake Supreme came out. I had never seen it before.
I received one of my 4 eels. Not as bad as others are reporting. Clear part on the helmet not the best foggy looks scratched up. Hopefully not the case with all of them.
Perhaps it is hard to find because there is a soft recall on the cobra eels. A lot of people were complaining about a defective barbell neck joint on some figures.
I got my 2 Eels from Amazon yesterday. After they delayed it about a week longer. Hope they get more for everyone else. I'm happy with 2. People that sell figures for much higher that are still new and currently available for normal price should be banned from Amazon and Ebay. I know Eels are not truly available now but still. I saw some @$$hole at a show was selling Tiger Force Dusty for over $100 and you can still get him easily for normal price. Those types are just pure scumbags.
I don't think I can do the KO's because it makes my collection look cheap in my mind but for some people that missed out on the original releases this is a Godsend. I was lucky to get 1 Cobra Eel from Hasbro Pulse and 4 from Amazon during the initial release but I wouldn't mind picking up a few more as this is a pretty nice troop builder. I am pretty sure Amazon will fill their stock soon with more for those who were unable to procure this figure the first time. I am back and forth on the Super7 figures, I love the Joe figures but the Cobra figures have been disappointing to say the least, might be because I hate the Cobra BATs so much but got them to complete the collection so far.
@@tydiriumhanger1320 I do love the cartoon accuracy of the Super7 figures and that is the main reason for me to collect these as the cartoon series was a big part of my younger years, right along with the comics but sometimes I wonder if I should narrow down my collection to just the Classified figures because I army build all the troop builders and space does calculate into the equation...lol.
Found all at retail except Torpedo and Bazooka! Picked up 2 Rock N' Rolls. Not happy about the packaging either but what are you gonna do. My worry was swapping but you rarely see them on the pegs, so when you see them they haven't been hanging for very long.
The only thing my Walmart has stocked so far is Scrap Iron. I don't expect much from the regular figures because, other than Lady Jayes, they had Zarana and Cobra Officer ONCE in the past year.
@@tydiriumhanger1320 Amazon making double the sales with them. Why not. They should ban them from there platform at least. Wouldn’t help much with the scalpers but at least cut off that option to sell them.
Thanks for the previews. Torpedo went down to 24.99 last time I checked today on amazon. I wonder if BBTStore ever gave customers a reason for why they're charging a dollar more for every item? I guess it's to counter the rising shipping costs to keep it low. It'll be good to see Hasbro return to window packaging in the future, agreed.
BBTS always charges atleast $1-3 more than MSRP. I think partly due to their pile of loot option and having to store all those items for customers. It's nice because I've changed my mind on pile of loot items and just get the store credit back immediately to use. They're having so many sales daily and weekly I believe due to the high cost of warehouse / storage so they're trying to liquidate and save. If possible I'll buy from somewhere else to save a couple bucks though it can add up.
By the way thise ultimates at $41 you saw at Entertainment Earth are not mint figures as shown in the description, probably something like the box was punched like some other stores those kind of deals Mike.💡😎✌️
Super 7 is either greedy or pays a lot of licensing fees to Hasbro. I think it’s the later because I’ve seen a huge market on non toy licensed products. If Super 7 priced their 3.75’ at $10 I would have bought them but not at $20 each
I think it's largely because Super7 is a small organisation, aiming more for boutique sales with modest production runs, and Hasbro is one of the world's largest toy manufacturers and wants to sell to kids and parents at retail as well as collectors. They can afford to make more product, which means they can afford to make it cheaper.
Fingers crossed Amazon will get more Eels in, because I don't see myself spending 3x more for a figure that just came out. I wonder if they will make KO versions of the HISS tank driver or tactician.
I'm thinking in buying at $46 one more BAT to have 3 Ultimate BATs in my collection or maybe get a case of 4 at $41 each at Entertainment Earth Mike 💡😎 $165 x 4 BATs...
I generally only get KOs of out-of-production items, like G1 Transformers, old Lego UCS sets etc. But if I have the option of getting the real deal, I prefer to pay a bit more, support the creators, and get a genuine product. However, if I see a KO of Dr Mindbender or Major Bludd, I'll be happy to buy them. There's no way I'm paying scalper prices, so it's my only option to fill that gap in my collection. Hopefully the existence of KOs will make Hasbro lower their prices and increase availability.
I paid about $100 each for those two Cobra Commanders on Ebay about six months ago and I don't regret it one bit. I want original figures and now with these KOs out, there's just no way you can be sure what you'll be getting.
With the OUTRAGEOUS PRICE GOUGING of Classifieds, I will wait for SALES for the Majority of them. Many will turn into Peg Warmers, especially with the Cardboard packaging. There is just so much wrong with the entire line. Hasblo has Bungled and mismanaged it from the get go. They also need to FIRE Emily as she is the face of the Incompetence there.
Got a huge classified collection but c-mon Hasbro, 2 Bazooka's and we still don't got his good buddy. There are more bro Joe's then Roadblock and Stalker!. GIVE US SOME ALPINE!. This classic character was a big part of Real American Hero and needs some love. Alpine YoJoe!!!
@@tydiriumhanger1320 good call, maybe it was one of those things where they were kept in a warranty type area and then Hasbro just said “here, take em” 🤷🏼♂️
Just got mine in today. Supreme had a slight box crush on the corner, Regal box was absolutely crushed, just like my soul when I saw it 😞💔🥺 They use a bubble envelope type covering and mail letter bag 🤦🏼♂️
Hi, Mike. Do you want an SDCC Zartan? I have a loose but complete one and I am getting rid of my classified collection so am more than happy to send it as thanks for your content. If you have a PO Box and want it, it’s yours. Send me a message and I will get it over to you, I am in the UK so it might take a couple of weeks
If they REALLY want to make some money, they should KO the #22 Viper. Why KO a bunch of figures that people will probably only buy one of when you could KO a hard to get troop builder that people will probably buy 5 or 10 of?
all companies should keep doing the assortments not the same fig per case because that's stupid and why? simple that's why they're all over the place... when they do that, they have way too many peg warmers?
I just watched your gi joe blinders video from one year ago. this is perfect timing.
I've seen Shipwreck, Scrap Iron and others at my Walmart.
Does feel good to get them at retail again
Cool.. I need to get my hands on those Cobra Range Vipers...✨️😀
Mine got cancelled but I really did not care much
Watch it show up down the road on clearance
I got the cobra commanders off ali express. They look and feel great. I hadn't been collecting classified when the snake Supreme came out. I had never seen it before.
Thanks for sharing your experience and I have been hearing they are good
Super7 CC was $41 on amazon
Great tip I will be watching for their Destro to come down
I received one of my 4 eels. Not as bad as others are reporting. Clear part on the helmet not the best foggy looks scratched up. Hopefully not the case with all of them.
Yep there are some with issues and some seem perfect

I own the ko and original, the differences is the packaging, the knife sheath has an opening in the plastic for the original
Found all at retail except Torpedo and Bazooka! Picked up 2 Rock N' Rolls.
Not happy about the packaging either but what are you gonna do. My worry was swapping but you rarely see them on the pegs, so when you see them they haven't been hanging for very long.
I am beginning to think Bazooka is not available at retail for some reason
I like these news update videos, Good stuff man!
Glad you enjoyed! I try to keep up with what all is going on with classified
The only thing my Walmart has stocked so far is Scrap Iron. I don't expect much from the regular figures because, other than Lady Jayes, they had Zarana and Cobra Officer ONCE in the past year.
It is slim pickins for any new figures at Walmart
When eels hit on Amazon there was no limit. So if you weren’t on at release time you were screwed. And pile put a limit of one per customer.
True and now they should flood the market with them so they can make money on their own exclusive
@@tydiriumhanger1320 Amazon making double the sales with them. Why not. They should ban them from there platform at least. Wouldn’t help much with the scalpers but at least cut off that option to sell them.
Thanks mike just scored KO-SSCC Much appreciated better than 100 especially when it could possibly be a Ko for 100 id rather know what im getting 😉
Yep it is mindblowing that there are Classified figures fetching $100

Super 7 does produce less than Hasbro but they are beyond the small company now. They should really figure out pricing for long term viability
@@tydiriumhanger1320 Of course I meant small relative to Hasbro.
Hasbro has 5600 employees. According to Linkedin, Super7 has 101 employees.
My Target is stacked with these, gonna play the long game on the drone pack.
It seems these days that is the best strategy
Fingers crossed Amazon will get more Eels in, because I don't see myself spending 3x more for a figure that just came out. I wonder if they will make KO versions of the HISS tank driver or tactician.
Amazon should see the opportunity and make way more available

I bought a Regal Cobra Commander Mike and I'm looking forward to make a video review of it in my channel soon😀👏✌️💡
Please let me know when you do
@@tydiriumhanger1320I will Mike 😀💡✌️
I have the KO SSCC n it is bei good quality…. I think it’s a factory reject …. But I don’t have the original to compare it to
Still a great way to get these for a good price

Alpine YoJoe!!!
Resellers are complete scum and supply and distribution is a large part of the problem.
Yep it is hard to get these at release and it is a crap shoot if they will show up later
I'm all for more KO's. KO's of all the troop builder figures sure would be a concept I would support.
KO troop builders would make great sense
I’m with you on Super7 Joes.
They give me what I want the first time around and no questions about fortenite looking Gi joe adjacent figures
@@tydiriumhanger1320 And they’re so BIG!
I have heard rumour that they are perhaps not KO’s but actually “flawed” qc figs from hasbro that staff have taken and sold on there own 🤷🏼♂️
That may be true but how are they just hitting 2 years later

True that Troop builders make way more sense
if yours are cheap, mine are real,........marius(punk rules).
Boycotting over a box…….snowflake or cupcakes 😂😂😂😂
Well Hasbro loves to reissue and remake the same figure and down the road we could get one with proper packaging
hope ko puts hasbro under
Well that's genius, Classified dies with them. These lazy ass KO guys are too stupid to fix a bent straw, much less make a new original mold...
all companies should keep doing the assortments not the same fig per case because that's stupid and why? simple that's why they're all over the place... when they do that, they have way too many peg warmers?
They could replenish the ones that sell well but that does not seem to be happening with Copper head and torpedo sadly
Just checked and they are on ebay
Thanks but I only see the Snake one is there a trick to find a regal one
