Got my 2nd Trooper today, and Beach Head should be arriving Wednesday. That one's going to my buddy. Now I just need to source a Beach Head for me and I'm all caught up.
Picked up the Snake eyes Origins Baroness at a comic shop called The Deep here in Huntsville, AL. They had the origins Snake eyes and Stormshadow. I really like the face sculpt on her. Though I might repurpose her as Munitia.
baroness up for pre-order at target: G.I. Joe Classified Series Baroness with C.O.I.L. Figure and Vehicle
Just received two of four Cobra Island Troopers and combined them with my mass release troopers (I haven’t opened all my mass release Troopers yet….). First impressions, not bad! I’ll be honest, I almost paid markup for a Trooper and Baroness, so I’m glad I waited. Only nitpick, I wish the CI Trooper colors were used on the mass release versions; the CI Colors just look better in my opinion. Anyhow, I like the arm band accessory to help differentiate between soldier types. Also, if anyone still needs a Major Bludd, I have one sealed. Looking for retail or I’ll trade for a Viper or Trooper.
And the CI Trooper is still available. This course-correct bodes well for the future of the line, and is making me optimistic that I'll be able to get future troop builders that are CI exclusives. Now the real question that remains to be seen is if I wasted $50 on a Pulse Premium membership...
Finally opened this guy. I don’t care too much about Major Bludd but it’s a good figure. My favorite thing about Bludd was always his backpack for some reason and I always loved the design. I really like the removable missiles and they almost got it perfect but cheaped out by only giving them two fins to make them sit flat in the backpack. Would have been a lot better to have all four and just cut into the backpack so they fit perfectly like they’ve done on some other packs already in the line. Actually, his pack already has a groove cut out to do something like it but it’s about a mm too shallow so yeah, pretty annoying.
I saw this message, glanced at the time of posting and thought, shoot I’ll check Target but he’ll be sold out as per usual. Nope 3 hours later still there! So now I’ve gotten every figure I wanted from the cobra island exclusives. This has been a hell of a ride.
Well drat, almost had BH, added his to cart and went to checkout and now he's sold out. Got my CI trooper today at least.
Just checked the page I got bookmarked, it says it can be shipped to my location.So no idea what that’s about unless it’s region based?
Current lineup. Waiting for BBTS to get redeco Scarlett so I can ship her and redeco Duke. Then I’m just about caught up with what’s available
Firefly seems to keep popping up intermittently at Target. My FF order shipped today! I found a Lady Jaye with a really nice face and bought it. Now I'm tempted to get Flint...
Doh! I ahd two different tabs up, one was new one was old... lol Got him now. Just need BH and the CI madness is done for me... for now...
I'm the opposite; I prefer the Infantry look. The paint apps on the best and the gray paint on the shirt and pants look so good.
Can some one seeing FF give me a local zip code? I want to see if i can order it from your store. Mine says not available at my local stores.
Same here. I really don’t care for the Amazon Roadblock for this reason, it’s far too adherent to ARAH, and not improved. That’s what the Retro line is for, not Classified. The line should keep looking forward.
Man, we need the spreadsheet put in the first post or something. Had to roll back about 4 pages to find fschulers post because he has it in signature. The trooper I ordered says it will be delivered today. Seems many are able to order multiples though so not sure who may need it. The Viper shows an August date.
Just got Beachhead in from Target. Man, that face painting wasn’t great. It’s like the face printing machine ran out of toner or whatever it is. His irises and eyebrows are so fuzzy. But I shouldn’t complain that much. I was able to get it for retail through Target.
