Mog Posted July 21, 2020 Posted July 21, 2020 (edited) The one with the bike, yes. The solo carded one that looks like the one that came with the second or third Cobra 5-pack (just now loaded with a ton of accessories). . . I’m guessing that’s 3.75” scale. Edited July 21, 2020 by Mog Quote

Negotiator Posted July 21, 2020 Posted July 21, 2020 Thanks guys. that roadblock is a pass for me. gave him a tank top but looking like an old man. c'mon hasbro. there's a ton of other characters before repeating already made ones. where's flint and lady jaye, zartan etc. btw, took off roadblock's vest. just heat up the shoulders, pop them off and the head, and work out the vest. his ab crunch has clicky spots but between each click is super loose so doesn't work well. ended putting the vest back on. baroness's bike might be cool, could use a paint job and detailing to not look so plasticky. everyone else is a buy...when? where?

Golden Arms Posted July 21, 2020 Posted July 21, 2020 (edited) Yep. No chance. I had a roadblock in cart for several seconds and was jacked. Edited July 21, 2020 by Golden Arms Quote
Negotiator Posted July 21, 2020 Posted July 21, 2020 same, oh well. can't lose anymore sleep over it. were these target exclusives? Quote
Roy Focker Posted July 21, 2020 Posted July 21, 2020 Everything was sold out in a faction of a second. Quote

derex3592 Posted July 24, 2020 Posted July 24, 2020 Wow...ummmm....reminds of a 90's Caddie with the "Gold Package"... Quote
Negotiator Posted July 24, 2020 Posted July 24, 2020 (edited) so reportedly, the target exclusives each are packed in a whole box on their own. hopefully that'll be enough to go around. Good luck on those troopers. I can see alot of people wanting to army build. Edited July 24, 2020 by Negotiator Quote
blackconvoy_D01 Posted July 27, 2020 Posted July 27, 2020 Kinda turned off with the seemingly unattainable Target exclusives. Seriously? 2-3 crucial characters as store exclusives? Maybe in 2004; not a great idea in my honest opinion. Quote
HardlyNever Posted July 27, 2020 Posted July 27, 2020 I'm a casual GI Joe fan, so I only wanted a few. Just getting the standard release Snake Eyes (not the Pulse exclusive) was a bit of a chore. It seems like any of the popular figures are hard to come by. It's getting exhausting collecting, well... anything it seems like. I'm used to scarcity with Macross stuff, but $20 GI Joe figures now? Really? I know COVID-19 is partially to blame for this, but it really seems like manufacturers are dialing up the "artificial scarcity" factor lately. Quote

sh9000 Posted July 27, 2020 Author Posted July 27, 2020 My Target had a case of Roadblock and nothing else. Pass. Quote

Kanedas Bike Posted July 29, 2020 Posted July 29, 2020 Initially I wasn't interested in the Cobra Troopers, but those do look pretty cool. But there's 0.000 chance I pay eBay or scalper prices. I came into this line only wanting Snake Eyes, and I have both versions. That expanded to a Duke, Roadblock and Scarlet but if I don't get another figure I won't lose any sleep over it - especially if Hasbro makes them impossible to get. -b. Quote

The official release is August 1st. You'd be wise to start your rounds between Targets Friday evening when they start pulling their pallets out to load up shelves. By Saturday morning they're going to be cleaned out. Quote

Perhaps, not too keen on the idea of toy hunting in Target during a pandemic, but I do have have three Targets within very close driving distance. -b. Quote

Same, or maybe well get lucky and there will be variants available everywhere, ie: Barroness without the tacky looking motor scooter. Edited July 29, 2020 by blackconvoy_D01 Quote

Fingers crossed! Not really feeling the bike either, but if she shows up online in a variant w/out the bike I might be interested. -b. Quote
sh9000 Posted July 30, 2020 Author Posted July 30, 2020 There was another meme on FB where the manager tells the other workers that he sold each GI Joe for $120 on ebay and that lunch was on him. It was probably deleted so I couldn’t find it. Quote
