    He’s got a healing factor and an already messed up looking face, so I don’t think it matters much.

    I know the feeling, haha!

    Just out of curiosity, how do you set up your pics? I just like behind the scenes stuff.

    I’m giving up on actively trying to get Baroness. Months of refreshing the website and several trips to Targets showing in stock or not have resulted in nothing. I went to one yesterday that listed 3 in stock and when I couldn’t find them and asked an employee, she didn’t even look at the item I was trying to show her and just said, “GI Joe? We don’t have any”. Ironic thing is it was the first time I have seen a GI Joe figure on the shelf (Gung Ho) but I wasn’t going to push it. I grabbed some Hot Wheels and went to check out. Funny thing is the guy who lined up behind me grabbed that one Gung Ho figure.

    Did we go to the same Target? I had the exact same experience even down to only finding Gung-ho, haha!

    I'm keeping an eye out for any Baronesses I see so I'll give you a heads up if I actually manage to get any. God, I'm going to look like a crazed scalper if I see a bunch of them, haha!

    Haha, it’s possible because I had to go close to your area for something else and stopped by Target just to see. Damn, I could have made a delivery for you now that I think about it.

    Yeah, if I do find Baroness, I’m buying all that I can. :D

    that may be fixable/hidable. Take a sharp exacto knife and trim just the slightest amount of the excess that seems to be hanging to the right side of her nose. Put a tiny drop of gel superglue on the end of a toothpick and put it in the divot, then push the glasses down slightly so the nose piece covers the blemish. It wont be terribly noticeable i think and the glasses won't be so far out of alignment to look odd.

    If they shipped, they're most likely good.

    My Targets have a handful of Red Ninjas and Wave 2, but can't do anything because of street date *sigh* They have no stock in the aisle, but have all of those in the backroom... Don't understand why it evens has a street date.

    Someone at Target has been confusing the "set/arrival" dates with the street dates. Been happening with various Transformers figures too when new waves show up and sometimes even locking out figures from older waves. Basically they've hired a moron at corporate recently from what I've heard.
