Previous years there were a few sublines ONTOP of the Classified line, actually carried in mass market (and dollar stores).
During one of the lull years between Rise of Cobra and Retaliation, Pursuit of Cobra came out in 2010 and for that year, over 50 figures were released. 50 figures starting in AUGUST of that year. 5 months to release 50 figures. In 2011, about 80 figures were released.
AND they had about a dozen pegs for themselves, compared to the 2-4 currently.
So currently, the Classified line is basically at the same level literal-whos being tested to see if it's worth stocking by Target, WAlmarts, etc. Absolutely the lowest support a toyline can get.

>implying Haslab is anything but deaths door products that mass market toylines aren't interesting in buying because they're poor sellersFar cry from the 00s and 10s, when we got multiple vehicles every year. HISSes, Hisses, more HISSES, Skystrikers, VAMP, Mocassins, Deviant mech, Steet Maurauder Mech, Rage tank, AWE Strikers, more VAMPS, Night Raven wannabe, and nevermind the movie years, when even more shit was released. All got mass market retail support, so they were sold in the hundreds of thousands to millions of units. Healthy, popular, toy sales.
