    I had the red pre-order button on Cobra Trooper, but every time I clicked on it, I got an error message and couldn't add it to cart. Trying to get these exclusives online sucks so much ass.

    I’m not sure...but I think even if he did, Hasbro can still make one under a different name and more like the ARAH one.

    The trick I used the last couple nights (once for Baroness and once for troopers) was adding to my cart on my laptop browser (because it refreshes faster and you can really go to town on the add to cart button once it pops up) and then switching to my phone app for the faster check-out process.

    It’s still showing available but gives an error if I try to add it to my cart.

    Necessity is, as they say, the mother of invention lol

    Anyway, hopefully tomorrow y’all get a chance to put my method to good use.

    someone remind me why hasbro decided to put a repaint/tool of roadblock in this case and not just extra cobra troopers? Do they ever think when they make these cases? (don't think so) Maybe we 'll get an entire cobra trooper lot??? (in my dreams only)

    Destro arrived yesterday from Pulse. Now that I have the figure, it's gonna be even harder waiting for the Profit Director version to arrive.

    Destro.jpg


    I don't know if it's been mentioned here already, but there seems to be two slightly different versions of the head. One has an oval etched into the top of the head, the other doesn't seem to have it. I say "doesn't seem to" because my figure's head doesn't have it at first glance, but when I look at it with my reading glasses on, it looks like it's kinda sorta there but super faintly. I can't even capture it on camera it's so faint.

    Here's a comparison picture from a Facebook group I'm in:

    My Destro came with his right arm slightly out of his socket. At first I thought because there was a peg on top that they scrapped a cape, but the arm was sticking out way too far. All fixed.

    Mine also has the lines on the head, but it doesn't bother me. Extra detail is always nice.
