    Didn't you know? It's always the retailer's fault and not, I don't know, the useless people working for the delivery service that toss, slam, dropkick, etc. our packages as they go through the delivery system.

    ...worked at UPS as a sorter for two months before quitting and the shit I saw...

    I managed to get a BH from Target.com----but it's the blue-eye variant. Does any one have a brown-eye one, and is willing to swap?

    I get kirby “dreamland” vibes. But they feel good.

    Today I went to a Target on the westside of the county. Had to relocate a critter to the lagoon and stopped in Target after. They had all of wave one, untouched. Was tempted to buy another Destro but I remembered how hard it was for me to get one. They all stayed on shelf, other targets that reup’d today are already selling out. Was hoping to find wave 2, maybe the other targets got some. Got slitherfang!

    I pre-ordered Classified Cobra Commander from Entertainment Earth.

    Next will be Destro.

    And maybe Storm Shadow if or when they do a more quote unquote classic attire.

    I'd be down for a single release Baronesses.

    Edit -

    If anybody could hook me up with a Destro.

    I can do cost plus shipping and extra for said trouble.

    Please and thank you.

    Got a 3 3/4 Snake Eyes today. Ran into another collector who said he got 5 troopers. Don't know if he uses these boards or not though.

    If you had said this earlier today, I would have helped you. Although the box was in B- condition. Wave one is now over saturated on eBay except for Destro. My local store is restocking 087-16-3310 tomorrow, if it's wave one (hint: it probably is because we only got the leftovers of wave 2 initially.) Today they have 4 CI Roadblocks, nothing for CT deliveries in the whole county though. I truly believe the majority of the CI wave didn't make it to the West, and when we did.....

    Is there any way to tell if a store near you has Cobra Commander other than checking? Like does he have a DPCI that works or is it just a case code?

    Crashbox got an early copy of CC, he looks awesome!

    EDIT: No wired cape, that's a big time ball drop right there on Hasbro's part.

    You can try Walmart SKU 345126569 on Brickseek, but it just gives false readings. Claims to have him in stock in my area and verified on Walmart’s site as well, but there aren’t any in stock (I’ve asked) The Target DCPI goes by case, 087-16-3310, however you don’t know what you’re going to encounter in stock. Could be Wave 1, could be Wave 2.

    Looking at this, I was gung ho about getting it, but the lack of a wired cape... I think I'll skip it. I have the regular CC already, and I am content to wait for the regal one to see which I prefer.

    Not that we need another Cobra Commander right now... but eventually maybe Battle Armor will come. Removable helmet being the must have.

    Any predictions for Wave 3? I am hopeful that the case selection will include 2 Troopers and the rest non-recolors. Wonder how the Pimpstros are currently shipping.

    Seems like it’ll be:
    • Storm Shadow
    • Alley Viper
    • Baroness

    Down for armored Fred Cobraux Commander
