G.I. Joe Classified Night Force RAM Cycle With Night Force Shockwave Figure Revealed?!?

[JayC]

Shown below via HyperShauta is what appears to be our first look at a upcoming G.I. Joe Classified Night Force RAM Cycle With Night Force Shockwave set. This likely will be a Walmart exclusive which we could see go up for pre-order next week for the Walmart Collector Con on March 14. We are supposed to actually be getting previews from Walmart tomorrow (3/7) for the products that will be offered during the event which is likely where this image leaked out from. When more details become available we will be sure to update you here.

Bike doesn't look bad in that color, but this is just re-use city, right down to the recolored Star Wars droid (which, I can't say I've ever seen lines use other lines' assets before, so that's a new one to me).

Edit: I guess maybe that's not the same thing as that little Droid that came with one of those Obi Wans?  Sure looks a lot like it, though.

Looks cool… not sure if this enough to convince me to start getting the sub-teams… skipped out on Tiger Force and Python Patrol stuff so far 

[MRT]

Looks cool. I didnt like the tiger force one but kinda tempted with this.

It's a reuse of the first firefly's drone.

Sure, but that was also the whole point of all the GIJoe sublines right? They’re just eye catching recolors?

The most surprising thing about this one is they used so many different parts than the standard Shockwave.

The drone and the backpack came from the Target exclusive Firefly. It's actually kinda annoying to me that there's no more explosive to add to the bottom of the pack since it looks really weird with that peg sticking out... and this was before they decided to give pegs to the bags instead of the guns... and there's no pegs on any of those guns so it's not gonna work to "store" them on it. 

Firefly also came with a remote that could be stored on the inside of the backpack to "control" the drone... wonder if it will still be there but just not photographed?

I dig it but geez, 55? Wasn't this set with Breaker/TF Duke like 40?

[Lord_Scareglow]

Wowzers does that look cool, but I really don't need a second Shockwave or a Bike, but it's looking mighty rad.

Packing him with a bike is equally strange.

The new Hasbro Walmart Exclusive G.I. Joe Classified Series Night Force Jason "Shockwave" Faria & Night Pursuit Cycle 6-inch Action Figure from Hasbro are now available to pre-order from Walmart Collector Con Event.

[RobertD]

LOL, I didn't realize they were splitting the Collector Con thing into two days, which... I should have, since it's what they always do.  Spent the last 40 minutes refreshing pages for the other stuff I want (all the TMNT/MOTU stuff, Mankind) before I realized it said they would be available on 3/15. 

[Frozentenderloin]

Preorder one through Hasbro Pulse- though $66 is a little steep for a second RAM cycle (I have the Breaker one). May have to cancel come August if it is outside of my budget. I’m not super huge on repaints, but this one looks really cool.

 

Semi-related question: for those who preordered the VAMP, has anyone’s actually shipped yet? Mine is still processing. Just wondering if there has been any movement in that regard.

I didn't order one but I know a few people who did and a few of them have shipping notices.

Yeah. Not pleased with the price here. Hasbro has mostly been better lately.

To be fair, this set comes with a lot more accessory’s than Duke did. Whether a bunch of reused accessories is worth an full $15 is questionable. 

[JoeCommander]

Ah well I ordered him anyway since I was able to slice the price in half w/ some walmart credit I've been sitting on.

Also snatched Gnawgahyde in the process...they had him listed for 24.97 

[Shrief]

Isn't that the ram cycle that came along with breaker and tiger force duke ..?

Yeah. It’s a repaint/redeco.

Shown below via Daryn Marshall is an in-hand look at the new G.I. Joe Classified Series Exclusive Night Force Shockwave & Night Pursuit Cycle 6-inch Action Figure from Hasbro. You can purchase this figure from Walmart and is currently on sale for the price of $38.48.

[Shinchu]

$38?!?! man i preordered for the full price and the day it hits my porch its half price?! Somebody smarter than me please tell me i can:

A. Get a price adjustment in store?

B. Return it and buy TWO for just a tad over what i paid for one?

(He was my favorite nightforce figure when i was a kid, i had 3 back then, used him as a swat team)

This happens to me all the time with Amazon (the Viper three pack is the most notorious example). I've always had to return the item and then re-buy it.  Walmart might be nicer but I doubt it.

[A_Spidey_Fan]

Set looks nice.  Don't need it, but nice, as I got the Tiger Force RAM, and I don't feel I need Shockwave for the 6" Classified line(I'm going to keep Classified a small collection, not get every character, unlike the approx 4" Joe lines that have started since 1982).  I do think it's neat that Shockwave has the Backpack and Drone that the Toys R Us Canada/Target U.S. Exclusive Cobra Island Firefly figure came with.

[Shrief]

The repaint makes it so beautiful and different .. make me want to get at least 3 of those for decent display 

[zombiesnstuff]

This looks so good !!
