    Yeah, I hope this turns into the G.I. Joe equivalent of the Siege Netflix line.

    I think the worst part is that there's tags up for the Baroness set at all of my local Targets. Hopefully that means that they'll be in later. Just don't know when.

    That'd be pretty cool actually. Though I'll be more on board with that idea when I actually get all of the current CI toys in hand, haha.

    like i'm hoping there's more cobra troopers inbound over the next few months, like there's no way they would make that a limited release right?

    Could be a good venue for Duke in more drab uniform colors or muted Sunbow colors(more grayish) and no gold, no glowing blue game colors.

    Also perfect for the likes of Tunnel Rat, Hit and Run and Falcon.

    That is the same trooper I’ve seen and been denied two times now at that store. Even yesterday the associate said they were street dated until 8/14 and that I couldn’t buy it. He took all of the Joes off the pegs and put them in the back. Well, somebody put them back on the pegs today, so I snagged him while nobody was there to stop me. I went through self checkout and he rang up just fine. WTF.

    But, the joke is on me, I guess. I got home and started fiddling with him and noticed there was nowhere to store the pistols and knife...the factory forgot to glue the holsters and sheath onto his vest...lol... Hopefully I find another in-store sometime so I can exchange him...

    What if this is a Target exclusive line not called "Cobra Island", but the G.I. Joe Classified: Special Missions subline? I see it has a different theme every year.

    Yeah, that would be an epic fail to underproduce the blue shirts. There has to be many in the pipeline. Right? LOL.

    I'm pretty sure that even if people miss out on this version there will be repaints coming down the line. No way they don't milk the shit out of troop builders. Look at the Storm Troopers in Black Series.

    She's my main want from the exclusives as well, but all of my targets seem to be pretty barren on Joes (though popfindr does show that they have stock, it's just not out on the floor)

    A year long subline would be awesome

    Exactly what I was thinking, it would be fairly complimentary to Walmart having their exclusive transformers line

    My cobra trooper is out for delivery today so I should have him in hand tonight. He cost me 65$ shipped, but hey, it's only money right, you can always make more.

    I want to get another 4 troopers for a squad of 5. I'm not sure if that's going to be possible but I'm going to give it the ol' college try.

    Not sure how to tighten Snake eyes’s waist, it just seems a bit wobbly. I really like all the articulation. Beachhead is my favorite of the two. Which is a suprise to me bc i thought it’d be the other way around.

    ^Yes it would have but it is not a virtue that I possess.

    ^I do but none of them have any stock what so ever.

    I don't know why, but I don't mind his wobbly abs. I mean, it is definitely a problem, but I always have him posed in an ab crunch cause it looks more dynamic.
