    Yeah, it will get funded…I’m confident it will.

    Speaking of copters, I wondered why Hasbro never released the copter that Cobra always used in the comics. They could have easily used the Tomahawk mould but mould it in blue/black. I would have bought it…

    One of my biggest regrets of passing this up back in the day.

    PO-ed the entire wave…I can’t help it…I really enjoyed Joes both in the comics and toons.

    Was able to order the Python Patrol BAT from Target right now. Looking forward to seeing the regular version go up for preorder soon.

    I think the Python Patrol BATS & Vipers will be easier to buy more after release. Its to bad that Hasbro and Target are not making a larger run available for PO.

    The rumors of Beachhead showing up at Bargin hunt are true. Found a ton of him at one in my area.

    for that price I would have bought 3 or 4. LOL I could see a blue dye job incoming. And quickly have Shockwave, Widescope, and a few other GI Joe SWAT members. LOL

    How much are they charging? I have 1 already but if they are low enough I am sure I can find a custom or two to use them on.

    WTAF!? I never saw a single one of those in my area. I've not seen anything, but CC and the movie Joe's and you've found a pile of them at discount? I knew distribution was screwed up, but that's rediculous.

    That is fucking nuts…. I only saw Beach Head in-store one time. Just once. I’m wondering what we’ll see next at closeout…

    Yeah, that's crazy! Poor distribution management on all parts if you ask me. People were screaming for Beachhead when he came out.

    Added a good looking Scarlett recently IMO.

    I'd still love to get one around here lol. And I agree that's a good looking Scarlet. I wish she came with more accessories though. I had to make another GridIron order lol.

    I really thought about picking another movie scarlet up since she is a good body sculpt. And thought about the discounted lady Jaye. Boil and pop both and swap upper torsos and add a little paint. Find some marvel legends heads that fit and make bombstrike and another female joe since the ladies are few in number on the roster. Maybe even another female cobra.

    Zooming in on the photo it does say $14, but I see that 50% off sign, so are they $7 I wonder?

    Yeah I noticed that. Wouldn't mind getting some more classified for customs and some couple more red ninjas to make a 5 man team. Wouldn't mind more infantry too. I have 4 Troopers and 4 infantry now. Another 4, with 3 incoming officers and find 1 more will almost give me 5 man squads. Figure televipers aren't far off. 4 will complete the rosters or if they do paratroopers or heavy artillery troopers.
