Same for me, but I'm not really worried with the sightings popping up more and more. I'll probably buy one if I see it in person and just return the preorder whenever it ships.

Card is pretty thin like the earlier retro GI Joe Classifieds. Will see if pre-order card is minty.

Really?

#%$^ you TF packaging team.

This is unacceptable. This is not something new. The ML retro figures have been on strong cardbacks from the beginning. The Classified team learned their lesson after the backlash from the early Retro releases and switched to the stronger cardbacks.

Now the TF team is going back to the crappy cardbacks??? Really?? This isn't some new technology that has never been used before. Stop being #$%^ing cheap. This will just be seen as a negative by the fandom and it's not like these are brand new molds. They are basically slightly retooled reissues!!!


Sorry but this pisses me off because it is not necessary and is just someone, somewhere down the line thinking it is an acceptable cost cut.

Just more reason to buy in store now and get as good a card as possible because if they ever do ship my preorders I have no doubt they'll get ruined during shipping.

I'm not sure I'll be able to see one in-store given where I am... but I'll nab one if my pre-order stays in limbo and I see it on pegs I guess.
