    I don't mind the lab coat look. It's better then the 80s costume that looked like he was about to climbing into the WWE ring. But I'm disappointed that it's such a plain lab coat. One of the great thing about Cobra are the colorful outfits.

    Ha ha ha. You mean you don't want this on your shelf for this line? I saw this the other day. Pretty sure it is a straight up gun ho body with a joker coat but I hope we dont get something like this also. I was never a fan of this design really.

    The Walmart I went to today had 2 Awe Strikers and both were on the very top shelves. I'm tall so I was able to get one to check out. I put it back as I don't care about that vehicle. If they were HISS tanks, I'd be $50 poorer. I'm debating on the FANG; the new version looks super stubby and the exhaust not being angled up is weird. I do want the Destro from the retro line. I'm not sure about the others. I wish they used the Ultimate Storm Shadow body instead of the Renegades one.

    And my Classified Storm Shadow was supposed to be delivered today; instead Amazon postponed it to November today. LOL

    Now if we could get the 2011 Skystriker body molded in white with 2 seats this time and the ARAH box art...hopefully with wing sweep not tied to landing gear but I can fix that if not...

    $45-50. HIT MEH HASBRUH

    Also Conquest X-30 molded in white for $30-35 with ARAH box...it’ll be the Sunbow Conquest we never got

    I've been to multiple local Walmarts that say they have them---nope. Checking EVERY aisle, top to bottom. Stock quantity not decreasing, either.

    Conquest was always my favorite jet, I hated that the original one was gray and not white.

    Why do you think that? They pretty much use the same uniform.

    Not even close to the same uniform other than buttons running down the jacket front. and from a character standpoint, Hasbro has a vested interest in preserving the uniqueness of CC, rather than saving costs and turning troops into mere repaints of him.

    I, on the other hand, am going to turn CC into W.OR.M.S. and it’s going to be awesome.

    I liked it in grey but would love a Sunbow accurate one to add to my collection, I have the following:
    • TRU 1997 version with Ace
    • 2008 Target 25th with Slipstream
    • Target Python Patrol
    • 2003 TRU version with the sound attack cannon, got this since I like the camo look, looks like an Aggressor plane and the sound attack cannon looked cool

    How much? It was going for $17+ last week during their flash sale

    Checked 4 walmarts today for an AWE Striker and came up with goose eggs. I did see the retro carded wave 2 figures though, minus a certain red-head.

    Crazy, I get a delay email this week for the retro carded wave 1 figures getting pushed back to 12-01, and what do I see in store, wave 2. I'll tell you what, this exclusive stuff, all the way around, stinks.

    While there is plenty about the exclusives to complain about, this seems a bit trivial. Buy wave 2 now because you can, wait for wave 1 to arrive when they do. Seems like a win to me.
