I wouldn't commit to that thought entirely. Hasbro is very much aware of the Commander's iconic look. You may not see it on a WalMart shelf because of nonsense but that doesn't mean they can't sell it through Pulse as an exclusive. Remember Slave Leia was taboo for only as long it needed to be too.

 

Sad but true, strange times we live in.

 

For anyone paying attention to the Action Force stuff as a supplement to Joes, BBTS posted their exclusive Night Ops Steel Brigade for preorder today. Has a pretty sweet deco.

 

Amazon now has Spirit up for pre-order. https://smile.amazon.com/Joe-Classi...+series&qid=1641581337&sprefix=,aps,53&sr=8-4

Although no sign of Storm Shadow or Cobra Officer.

 

All three went up for preorder on Amazon back on October 23

Storm Shadow

For the betterment of society, I’m going to stop ordering things, guys. My last BBTS shipment in December triggered a tornado…and my incoming Pulse shipment just triggered a blizzard. Damn it.

 

Hmmm, why can't I find Storm Shadow or the Cobra Officer when I search for them on Amazon? I've already got them on PO elsewhere but was thinking of adding another Officer to my collection. All the other Storm Shadows come up in my searches, but not the new Classic-look Classified one that is rolling out very soon.

Edit: Thanks to @MachoGrande I see the missing figures are the ones that are currently sold-out. That must explain why they won't appear in search results even after I correctly guessed most of the product name.

 

I edited my post above to include the links for anyone who wants to bookmark them.

 

I was expecting both my BATs and single Alley Viper to arrive from Pulse today, but the only one that delivered was the AV.

 

Nah. You're good.

 

I don’t question my wife’s Amazon packages, she doesn’t question my random toy packages. Everyone wins.

she makes fun of them but doesn’t question them.

 

Hmm... not sure you caught the intent of his post:

A few weeks ago, the Western part of our state got hit hard by a tornado that leveled a large portion of the area and killed a lot of people.
This weekend, we got a decent amount of snow in the Eastern/Southern part of the state. The event of significant note was a fifty car pile up though that was probably more human error than the snow's fault.

However, while they're unfortunate events to coincide with his packages being shipped, they are just coincidences. Pretty sure I got many packages the same week the tornadoes hit, things happen as they will.

On a brighter matter, Starduster, is that you:

 

Yes, embarrassingly I did. Oops.

 

As I said, things happen as they will.

 

Haha…no worries. Sometimes I forget that not everyone lives in Kentucky, lol…. I just thought it was interesting that my past couple of shipments have coincided with regional quagmires.

 

In my first year of college [my first semester, actually] in my first class of that day, a guy in our calculus class asked if we could get another day or so to refresh the previous lessons before the exam that was scheduled.

That was 8 am, September 11, 2001. That poor guy never asked for anything else that semester.

 

my first semester too. I was sleeping off a Wicked hang over myself. Needless to say, worst possible way to wake up

 

When I got back to my room after class I turned on the television. My roommate at the time woke up and asked, "what movie is that?"

 

Maybe it's me but it seems like Valaverse is crazy for putting up pre-orders for their V2 of Sgt. Slaughter before shipping their 1st version.

 

Eh, what third party isn't these days?
