    I was actually out on a unrelated target run and looking for snapdragon. Happened to see a lone Cobra trooper so someone convinced this store to sell them, it was the only one.

    Visited my Target for some medicine and groceries. Price rags for various new items like Retro Spider-Man series, Sky Lynx, Classifieds, and Cobra Islands. Alas, no figures. Probably for the best as my wife has been reinforcing to watch the money until next payday.

    Forgive me if this was posted already, but this dude is making 3D printed Cobra thrones: Login • Instagram

    I think Regal CC would look pretty good sitting in one of those.

    Went to the Target in Raleigh and they had a case. They wouldn't sell until 8/14 unfortunately.

    My Target did a reset and still didn't even have a price tag for a place for GI Joes. Even the planogram that was lying there on the shelf didn't show any GI Joe placement. Weird.

    They've been in random spots in every Target I've been in recently, my local one has them in the electronic collectibles aisle, I seen them next to ML, WWE, PR, never in the same spot it's kinda akward

    To make things harder, a local Target did put pegs up for joes but they’re labeled with the code names like GI J CARPENTER ANT and GI J Mayfly.

    And knowing is half the frustration, good luck!

    Extensive Enterprises must be running the show, like how, pray tell, is a Target employee supposed to know what the hell a GI J Carpenter ant is supposed to be? If you ask them to look, they’re gonna be like “I don’t see it”.

    Believe it or not... if that's what's on the tag... the boxes they get would have that on the internal distribution labels as well. Something I noticed with War Machine is that he's in their system as Deluxe Marvel Legends Figure. Nothing about it being War Machine! This is also why you should come armed with either the dpci or upc code.

    For anyone who has had trouble finding these in stores and are willing to wait a few weeks, looks like Amazon has Destro available for retail...
