    Viper and Baroness aren’t even showing now for me when clicking the Joe link from the Collectors Spot home page.

    It was nice of him to get on this, but I really can't help but feel that this should have been somebody's responsibility, from the giddyup. Even if it wasn't handed down through official channels, somebody on the Joe team should have said, "Hey, after all the issues with the first 2 releases, let's just check this, when it launches."

    But maybe that's just me...

    Hmm, managed to get a trooper (and threw in the variant Roadblock for good measure). That just leaves Baroness that I need. Sigh. If it happens it happens, I'm not getting my hopes up.

    Actually got a Trooper. But I was really hoping for Baroness.

    Hoping there's a Baroness release without the bike or purple hair that's easily obtainable, same hope for an OG Firefly. So long as the kids keep buying up all the gi joes things will be ok!

    Sorry that last sentence should have been blue but I was getting an error msg that my cart is empty instructing me to refresh. :mad:

    I didn't know the gatling gun was actually a separate piece from the side car. That's pretty awesome.

    I actually want a couple of those cycles now, well shit. Now I wish I had been able to order him with BBQ.

    I would have to imagine that we get the RAM a few times in the line. There’s no way Hasbro will limit the tooling of this to just one release.

    That's what I'm hoping as well, and it seems like a no-brainer. Instead of reissuing the Baroness/COIL set, Hasbro could just do the same thing they did with the Trooper and release a single-packed variant with some tweaks to it. It wouldn't hurt the collectibility of the COIL set much, I suspect, but it would give more people a chance to get the basic figure.

    Funny thing for me is that even though Breaker was hardly a memorable character in the cartoon when I think of him I immediately hear that southern drawl voice of his. Damn you Chris Latta and your bewitching vocal talents! You made even the most unremarkable characters unforgettable.

    Well that's awesome and kind of sucky (depending on the situation) that the Cobra Island figures are getting some reissues.

    Missed all of the shenanigans again, being shorthanded at work is for the birds.
