Might be worth a listen to people here as I've just about thrown in the towel expecting to see a nice line up of GI Joe figures in a store. I still can't believe that Walmart and Target are the places to go for toys these days. Although Toys R Us never had the newest figures way before they went out of business. It still shouldn't be like this. It's like some bad alternate universe.

Major Bludd has been popping in one the Target App the last few days.  He is currently available in my neck of the woods. Available for store pickup.

Thanks hope everybody can pre-order theirs.  Pulse lasted about 4 minutes or however long it took them to process my card before confirmation

I'll say that the availability of Bludd and now today's smooth preorder of Barbecue and Breaker are encouraging. Credit to Target and Hasbro for improving things. Hopefully it's the norm going forward.

I’m not really surprised that a firefighter would be easy to get, but it does seem encouraging for the morale of the collector. 

I remember that there was a flame thrower guy in the early series of figures, but I honestly can’t remember his name. I think the show wanted to avoid him as much as possible. A kids show with heroes with guns or swords seemed okay the time, but I guess starting fires was crossing the line.

Is that basically Beach Head, in pure black and a new head?

I think I need to buy an Alley Viper. It was one of the 4 or 5 GI Joe toys I had as a child. I hope it will be orange and blue.

As a kid I liked some of those wild colors on action figures. As an adult I wouldn’t mind a more subdued style that could somehow stay true to the original

Yep, no luck on my end. Unless I want to drive to Chiago ,about 5 to 6 hours, for a Viper. There is a store showing in-stock but that is it.

I just wanted a spare Cobra Trooper.  Oh well.  I guess I’ll just order an extra Cobra Infantry and paint some parts black and give him some different guns.

Quoted for truth.

Hasbro is literally the worst for these store exclusives.

Thankfully I have at least 1 of every Classified figure that I want in this line so far.  Skipped the Amazon Storm Shadow, 1st release Roadblock, the repaint, and the Target version.

Got my spare Cobra Trooper!  :yahoo:

Cobra Trooper, Beach Head, and Roadblock are currently available.  Firefly was available earlier.

Thanks for the heads up. Picked up a Cobra Trooper too. Was really hoping for a Cobra Viper as well.
