    Wizards of the coast game concept art...would Hasbro pass up an opportunity to make a transforming Metal Gear-esque HISS Tank?

    In 6 inch scale?

    I mean it looks cool but if they choose that over the classic HISS Tank design for a vehicle in this line...

    If we're just talking a Transformers crossover like that X-jet, then that's fine.

    I doubt it would be in 6” scale, maybe the 4” line if it goes beyond the Walmart retro stuff

    Honestly they may last a bit. It depends on how many people gave up waiting for BBTS and ordered elsewhere. I wouldn't wait on them though if anyone here still needs them.

    Destro has been available on Amazon for $23.50 for weeks; there doesn’t seem to be any pent up demand anymore to drive quick sell outs for him.

    True, but I guarantee you that the moment he does sell out, a bunch of people will come out of the woodwork asking where they can get a cheap Destro. They can avoid themselves some pain later by buying now.

    Word, Scarlett and Duke hit my POL today.

    Now the waiting game starts, how long can the cheapskate side of me hold out to ship these. There is already a Cobra Infantry in my POL, but I usually try to wait so there are at least 5 things in it so it's only like a buck an item to ship.

    Being cheap stinks.

    Took a risk and ordered Regular Cobra Commander off Amazon for $20. Came in yesterday with all four corners intact and not squashed!

    Wizards of the Coast GI Joe miniatures would be awesome! I don't need yet another line to start trying to obtain, but those would look cool.

    I guess that Fortnite Snake Eyes was just a precursor, because Hasbro announced they (also) have the Fortnite license. I don't play the game but are there other Joe skins they're going to do (I'm assuming they will be doing their crossover characters mainly because otherwise I don't get jumping into a field that has two other companies making the same figures at the same scale)

    Probably a $40 2 pack of Snake Eyes and Storm Shadow with 8ball/Scratch skins or vice versa.

    Too impatient to wait for a proper Commando Snake Eyes so I ordered a custom Resolute head off of eBay:

    :lol I still got stuff in my POL from some of BBTS' November sales that now only have ~2-weeks left before I have to ship it all out.:lol 
    Every so often, I still periodically check if any of my POLs I purchased while on sale have dropped even further in price so I could potentially cancel & re-purchase (if still in stock... if not in stock, then I'm not too confident on the window of it being listed as 'in stock' for me to re-purchase and someone else snatching it up).
