    Huh. I po'd 2 Vipers and one BAT from Target, then went and ordered another BAT and Outback. Despite having him on Pulse, I thought I could save a buck or so with my red card. Those were holding steady under my orders...but then I saw the 25% off coupon, cancelled Outback and the BAT, re-ordered with the coupon and now I can't get them without Target auto-cancelling the order.

    I got put in Target time-out. And they kept that 25% off coupon, to boot. :D 

    Oh well, my initial order with 2 Vipers and one BAT is still locked in. Wanted 3 of those BATs because I wanted to have multiples of the red heads to mix and match with the standard BATs, but 2 is still better than none.

    Wonder if I could cram ME Ace into the new Skystriker. That would be a selling point for me.

    Those aren’t the same B.A.T.s, are they?

    Storm Shadow, Spirit, and Croc Master look fantastic. :D 

    The Skystriker looks great, but I have the original and the 30th version, so I'll have to pass this time. $200+ is a lot to ask.

    Also passing on the Python Patrol stuff. More for y'all. Can't wait for the regular deco Classified BATS though.

    Relieved to have no interest in the Haslab Sky Striker. Was never much of a Sky Striker fan anyway, and I’ve already got one of the reissues from a while back (plus the TF crossover versions).

    Now if it had been a 6-inch scale one (eep!) or a Rattler of some sort, it would be a different story. So… bullet dodged!

    Sooo... with the dumpster B.A.T. turning out to be legit, doesn't it then follow that the Alley Viper from the same find is also legit?

    Tiger Force Outback
    Python Patrol Viper
    Python Patrol B.A.T.
    O-Ring Snake Eyes and Storm Shadow 2 pack

    Between Pulse and BBTS I managed to get everything without too much trouble. I'm also surprised that Zartan was already charged for, so hopefully I'll get him delivered in the next few weeks.

    Kinda surprised the Skystriker isn't getting more love. That thing is fucking...(wait for it)...aces! I'm in for at least three. One to keep in the box. Two for Ace and a wingman. I had the original as a kid, but it literally died in a fire. I bought four of the 30th redo, but that one had its fair share of faults. This is what grown up 7-year-old me has been waiting for.

    Very happy to see everybody working together to help us all get what we want. Links flying everywhere, product selling out, more links! It's been a busy but good flash of activity for me today. Even managed to get the Target exclusives through Pulse so I'm pretty happy.

    Big shout-out to Capirus and all others posting up links for folks! After the spreadsheet is updated I'll be sure to update a few columns as well. :)

    The Skystriker didn't sell at its $35 or $40 price tag last time it was released. What can they possibly believe warrants a 5X-6X increase? If this was scaled for Classified, I could see it, but as-is it's baffling. I wouldn't even buy it in a speculator context because of Joe fans notoriously waiting for Ross.

    And personally, I'm not interested in O-ring Joes. My 1:18 collection is mostly 25th and related lines.

    Hope so. That was a pretty cool looking head and shield. And hopefully we'll see something soon. The Alley Vipers are pretty long overdue.

    I may get 2. I am going to skip the Rancor. Depending what the tiers might be. Skystriker holy hell you are at lest getting 4 figures and a shit ton of accessories. I wished they could have thrown the weapons transport in as well.

    If you mean the first BAT they showed off (classic deco), that's not up for order yet. It's probably an exclusive but we don't know for sure.

    Pre-Ordered Croc Master from Amazon and Python Patrol B.A.T. from Target. Hopefully my B.A.T. preorder fares better than my Batman Year 2 preorder.
