As far as the BAT goes, I could see Hasbro learning from their mistakes and it being shipped out in Solids to retailer rather than as a part of a wave simply due to scalping n such. Plus it's an army builders and a great design so It in theory should sell well.
Maybe a Python Patrol version of the Motor-Viper or Tele-Viper? They were added to the team in the 2011 Joe Convention set.
I only JUST realized that if the Python Patrol figures are Target exclusives, then there is NO mass-retail version of the Viper to date nor does one seem to be planned. I'm kinda not ok with that even though I got the number of standard Vipers I wanted.
If the leaked list is correct we'll be getting a two-pack with a Viper & Viper Officer at retail. Only problem with that though is it will make troop building difficult getting an Officer with each regular Viper.
Yeah, I think most of us are more or less good for Vipers at this point and those who aren't won't want a ton of officers jamming things up. This two-pack premise seems both too late and fundamentally flawed.
I'd be glad of a Viper two-pack, over here in the UK Vipers were only available for a couple of hours at a limit of 1-per-customer - so an opportunity to actually get some at below eBay prices would be welcome!
Beats me - maybe they'll be a seperate squad or something! At any rate, I'd rather get Viper + Officer at half the price that the Viper alone is currently going for, and have to find a use for the Officer later, than the other way around
Seeing we are getting the 84 version of Stormshadow. Anyone what my Amazon one? I Hobart one still box and loose.
I pre-ordered the bat, viper and Croc Master, I want another crocodile but don't need 2 Croc Masters.
I don't think I would get in on an O-ring line unless they did new sculpts... For example, if they had the sculpts of those new Super 7 ReAction figures, but in O-ring style ... I could get with that. Otherwise, if I want the vintage toys, I'll just buy the old vintage toys.
I am interested in the O ring line, but how available will they be, and how much. As it stands the Hasbro Pulse SSHadow Snakeyes two pack will cost me $80 Canadian shipped
I'll be buying all the overpriced o-ring in classic vintage packaging they want to give us. That being said, I will be p!$$ed if they cut off the current WM neo-vintage line in favor of the o-ring figures. I'm perfectly happy building a collection of each. But they need to go deep on one or both lines. It would be a crying shame to end up with two collections of the same dozen figures in two different retro formats, with neither line having enough figures to make a proper display (carded or loose). Obviously, the retro versions of modern figures objectively look better. But IDK, there is something so familiar and therapeutic about opening and messing with o-ring figures that I 100% don't get with modern construction figs, no matter how much more realistic, articulated, and detailed they are. I have 2-3x of every 82-87 figure in storage, but I'll be getting these, one to keep MOC (kitchen-grade silicone o-rings FTW), and one to open. But then again, I'm an unapologetic nostalgia junkie. I would take 1984/85 intravenously if possible.
Is that just from cost, shipping, taxes, and conversion? I know the shipping is going to hurt with this batch of purchases being so split up, then multiplied with different release dates.
Fair enough. I'm in that boat as well. I have a few more things shipping with it, so I tend to spread the shipping costs across the items. Didn't realize it would be $80 if I had only that in an order.
To be fair, some folks do that. Some folks are bald in their 20s. Some Joes go from blonde to jet black with a Johnny Cash pompadour. Some have an identity crisis.
Just received my Pile of Loot from BBTS. Included was the Snake Eyes with Timber. Really nice set. Highly recommended it. I'm glad this version wasn't a Target exclusive or anything. Now people can get some really good weapons for Snake Eyes that may not have been able to get the Hasbro Pulse exclusive version.
