    2 of my 3 Target Troopers shipped. God exists. Love is real.

    I haven't heard back from the guy who ordered my 3rd for me. I'll ask later today. Then I got the Pulse one. Wooo.

    With the troopers still available on Target you can likely order one a day without worry.

    Naw. I'm pretty done now. If this were 3-3/4 inch I'd get 13 of them, but with my 3 Troopers coming, one I ebayed a few months ago, and two Infantry puts me to 6. I could phase out my Infantry but I went through the trouble of getting goggles, armbands and rifles for them.

    In fact I'll be up one Trooper that I may sell or trade or do whatever with it.

    At the 6" size having 13 troops takes up way too much space, so 6 is a pretty good number. That breaks the team down into 3x 2 man tactical elements.

    I was able to get a Trooper, a Viper and Baroness. I ordered a second trooper for a taste and it slipped before I could cancel it. I'll wait for Firefly's mainline release. One we get a classic Storm Shadow and a Stalker, I'll be done with Classified. Exciting times.

    It's nice to see the troop builders still in stock at Target...They're finally getting their act together with the classified line.

    I wonder if it's random cancellations that are occurring bringing the stock back in.

    Oh, my bad...there's too many of SE being released. The one with Timber is already out in my country for the past 2 weeks so the set (based on trends) should be hitting the States soon. Tbh since the pandemic....distribution has been a mess. Example, we got Marvel Legends Nova (classic) and the Villains waveout since May or June but it has yet or just hit the States.

    Oh man, I want that character so bad...I hope they made him! It was nice to see him in the 4 inch line!

    What the?! Are those heads of the hard master and soft master (Arashikage clan)?! I hope we get figures of them!

    Nice plan for the troop building! That's was my plan (similar) too but tbh I prefer the blue tactical vest of the Cobra Infantry as compared to the Cobra Trooper...if the former's release, I see no need to get the latter. If I do get a figure of the Trooper, he will be my officer.

    I saw the drugs trash at Walgreens, looking at every figure's price on ebay. They had one Cobra Trooper that they hadn't got to, held my breath and grabbed it before his Chigger bite ridden woman could.

    That's what I get for eating with my family.

    Those weren't chigger bites, those were meth sores... :rolleyes: 

    I'm just happy I didn't have to wait until noon to stop worrying about trying to buy Joes today. I can only ignore my job for so long, and I'm the boss.

    Could those prototype BAT and Alley Viper heads be from Super7?
