DAMMIT!
I was there waiting at 4:00 ct when they were supposed to be up, kept refreshing and after they didn't show, went back to cooking.
By the time I saw them at 4:10 or something, they're GONE.
F you Target!
 
Went as expected. They really shouldn’t even bother with online preorders at this rate. People are going to start protesting in front of targets at this rate :lol

I'm definitely going to echo your statement, F you Target! I had my wife on her Target app refreshing for me while I was scoring Zartan and the infantry soldier on Pulse. I finally got those two ordered after getting kicked once but my wife never saw them listed on Target until later when they were sold out. :gah:
 
At 4:00 CST, I ordered 2 Zartans and 2 Cobra Infantry troopers off of BBTS with absolutely no issues. I don't care when I get them, I'm just relieved that they're reserved and I don't have to go searching for them.

Around the same time over on Target's website, I kept refreshing the page until the Cobra Viper and Firefly showed up. They finally did around 4:10 CST and the Viper was already sold out. But I snagged 2 Firefly figures and went to check out. Stop me if you've heard this before, I then get an error message and my cart was...wait for it...empty.

I'm pissed off but not the least bit surprised. Hasbro got their check from Target. Target's products sold out immediately, and they couldn't care less who or what bought them. The only party that isn't pleased is the customer...which is never a good thing.

I'm in this until the end, getting as much product as I can while sticking to or around the retail prices. I hope this line succeeds, I really do. I've waited many years for G.I.JOE to be produced in 6 inch scale.

I also know that if this line inevitably fails, it will not be our fault. But we will, once again, be without any product and we will suffer for the mistakes of others.

Oof! What ***** made that call? That’s the easiest way to kill a line. Don’t carry forward the figures nobody really cared for the first time. They could have pretty much picked any 2 other figures. Snake Eyes, Destro, and the Red Ninja would have been far better choices.

I get the necessary evil of store exclusives but this decision was just idiotic. I can’t believe anyone with any knowledge of the brand would have thought this was the best choice. Even if these were last minute replacements for movie figures, they could have chosen far better. At least Zartan and the Infantry are 2 per case.

:rotfl
Not only is the reg. Roadblock easy to find and clogging shelves, but the CI version is also easy to get. The CI Roadblock is an awesome figure though, everyone should grab one. Snake Eyes is sold out most places despite being two per case, but Destro and the Red Ninja would be better switch outs. Or they should be two Zartans, and four Troopers.
 
I get underestimating the line’s popularity at first. They were playing it safe. But that case pack out is just not understanding the property. This Roadblock isn’t the Rock. He isn’t the most popular Joe. He’s a beloved character, sure, but he’s already has two figures and didn’t need a rerelease so early. And why Scarlett if they still believe ‘female figures don’t sell.’ I think any of us could have told them this was a bad idea without even seeing the figures beforehand. You can’t go wrong with Snake Eyes, especially with a movie coming out. You want him readily available when that first trailer drops.

This day has been such a roller coaster. The panel started off great but the continuing of the Target exclusives really soured it. Ordering from Pulse went well if you were right on it, but Target was the expected disaster it continues to be. And now seeing this case pack really has me questioning who is in charge of the brand.
 
Alley Viper has been on the box art from the start, and it's the only figure I really want. Everyone else on the box art has been made, and they're revealing completely new figures. Stop screwing around, and give me the damn Alley Vipers already, Hasbro. :gah:

I can't wait to see the Cobra Island Alley Viper in wave three!
 
I got Zartan and a couple of troopers locked in but it looks like zero chance of the Target exclusives making their way to EU. What a disaster of a business model.

My money is on the Wave 3 Cobra Island Cobra B.A.T.!

On the live stream, I actually laughed out loud when Cecil said something like "can't wait for collectors to start troop building the Cobra Viper". Textbook definition of oblivious.

These pics are awesome guys and really tell a story. Loving these! BTW off topic, but I watched an incredible Doc on Netflix tonight called "My Octopus Teacher" still haven't come down from the high of seeing it. Awesome flick and changed my perspective for the better in so many ways. Nothing preachy at all, just a beautiful doc. Anyway, keep the Joe stuff comong. Night everyone!
