    Same. Worse is when they storage for some stuff but not all. Cobra Commander's extra hands are that for me. They couldn't have given him a bag for his hands? I guess that'd be a handbag.

    Point is, Cobra Commander would rock a handbag. What was I talking about?

    These guys look to be the best of the line, but I hated what I had to pay to get them:

    Should a must that they hold all their accessories imo. They're army toys for crying out loud :cool:

    They look SO good. It's just a pain they're so difficult for everyone to get. I'm probably stuck waiting until a reissue (I think Canada is only getting these at ToysRus, and i don't think they get listed on the website most times. Most non-essential retail is curbside only until mid-Feb in Ontario now anyways, so...) I really hope we don't get disappointed by reissues missing items like the goggle or bandanna like the Cobra Infantry has. The colour changes I can understand, but why does the classic version of it have to be the exclusive?

    If anyone wants to help, I'd be much obliged. It's been great seeing folks here and on other boards get each other sorted out. Thanks to each of you for going out of your way to do that, even if you're just keeping an eye out for a friend but never finding the figures.

    I'd love it if we could all just walk in and find them easily, cash out and enjoy our action figs!

    My Viper came today!!!

    A family member shipped it to me but alas, my mum stepped in and said, Valentines Day.

    She did spot me Hot Rod so it all works out in the end.

    I decided to cancel my Zartan pre-order as part of keeping this collection small. Ultimately, Stalker will complete my Joe team; I have Scarlett, Snake Eyes and Arctic Storm Shadow. My Cobra team just needs Baroness, Firefly and classic Storm Shadow to go with CC and Destro and my pre-ordered Trooper/infantry. If I get a Viper, cool but I'm partial to the old school trooper look.

    Did he bait and switch or what? Ebay is buyer friendly so I can't imagine you wont get your money back. I hope theyd side with a buyer who recieved something not as advertised.

    I really agree with this mainly the basic Cobra troops. I hope we get Stalker. He was my first GI Joe back in the day.

    My exact feelings on the whole Cobra Island fiasco. Im just buying what they offer in the regular line with the hope that they offer those CI figures down the road.

    Lonzo is my favorite non-Snake Eyes Joe hands down, and he's from the "D".

    Well that’s mighty nice of you! I don’t want to put you out or inconvenience, but sure. I’ll jump at that. Why not? Even if they end up being plentiful, you can’t have too many troopers or Zartans. Just let me know the details when the time comes. And if you decide it isn’t convenient, no biggie.

    I've only handled Snake Eyes so far but I feel the coolness of the backback ability to hold all accessories (or most of them) is negated by the fact these backbacks don't hold on very well. Especially when they plug in the back through body armor/grenade belt. The moment I fiddle with Snake Eyes, his backpack ends up becoming loose..

    I hope Hasbro takes the time to make him right. He’s 1 of my favorites.

    Same here, I really hope they do him right. His 30th ann and Resolute figures would transfer over very well I feel into the classified line, maybe minus the dreadlocks though.

    I ordered a total of 4 Red Ninjas(2 from GameStop and 2 from EE). Both orders have shipped. I only wanted 2 more if anyone wants the other 2 let me know. I would like to trade for a Viper and a Firefly.
