    I went and ordered two packs from Pulse and then went to cancel my Amazon order, only to find out that at some point, Amazon reduced the price to 58.99 (no longer available), and adjusted my preorder.

    Can't cancel the Pulse order so uh..I guess I'm getting four packs, lol.

    If you're prepared to go that hard, why not try rubbing alcohol first? Usually works to clean up paint errors, at least with acrylics.

    Anyone else do this with their BATs? I honestly only got the Python Patrol BAT to swap heads but I really dig the repaint on him.

    That's more like it. I need to get rid of HA Roadblock's dumb "carry nothing" harness and give him a plate carrier or vest like a real soldier would have, not a cosplayer lol.

    Outback's shorty M4 feels appropriate actually so I'll keep it on him. But it looks like I'm getting another Valaverse gear set.

    Well the sale on the Viper pack talked me into grabbing it from there and canceling my bbts one. It gives store credit since I have had it in my pile for a while there but figured why pass up on a free $20 worth of credit. Thought about switching some other stuff from pile to the hasbro sale too but I heard bbts gets pissy if you do that to much or often.

    Any idea if they're planning to do Armored Cobra Commander at some point?

    I got the Delta gear pack specifically for Tigerforce Outback because I thought it'd look good on him (and yes, he's got 2 knives and 2 pistols on him as well haha). Only bummer is that this vest has something on it's back, so neither Outback's nor the Delta packs back pack can be used with the vest, which makes me question why the gear pack even comes with a back pack.

    Such a shame about the backpack situation!

    As far as two pistols go...I mean I carry two pistols for every day carry so I don't see a problem there LOL!

    I just tried water based remover. I tried Tamiya rubbing compound to try to polish it off. This shit is ridiculous. It’s not even getting lighter in color.

    Nothing has been said by Hasbro but it’s very likely.

    Am I weird for not thinking of that as CoCo? To me, it's Fred VII.

    It could be either one really. In the comics, it was Fred VII. In the commercials and in the later toon it was Cobra Commander. While I myself am usually more of a comics guy for my personal canon as a kid it was always the original Cobra Commander since Armored CC was the first CC I ever got since I missed the original release as I was only like 1 in 1982. :lol  I would later replace Armored CC with the V4 one (gold helmet, red faceplate, and came with a drone), but I think Armored CC is probably more likely to show up in Classified before any homage to the V4 CC.

    Just received a shipping notice from Pulse EU for Tiger Force Bazooka and Recondo. Python Patrol Cobra Officer also in stock. Weird supply situation is weird, but i am not complaining. Anyway, as with Outback i feel that those Tiger Force colors looks more interesting than the regular versions. That or my Joe collection desperately need to stand out a bit more to compete with the majesty of the Cobra shelf.
