Same boat. They sold out in 2.5 hours. That is ridiculous. They could have made double the amount of sets. They probably based it off the Red Shadows O-Ring figures. Dumb. I'm pissed.

I couldn't help myself. I broke down and preordered off some of these off ebay. Truth is I didn't care for the IGs, so not worried about them, but I really wanted Schrage, Stormavik and Horror Show.

I've been watching them too. It's just hard to swallow $650 for the whole set. It was going to be hard at $400. I'm hoping someone sells the loose set for less than 600, but who knows. I've only seen 2 complete sets go up.
I want all the named characters, but at $80 a pop, that's $650 right there. Then what is the 2 or 3 pack attendee only sets going to be? There's still 5 or 6 more Oktober guard characters. And Gen Mayhem, Darklon, Sgt Major, Metal-Head, Roddy Piper to fill out the IGs.

I'm hoping that the other figures at Con will be more of the October Guard. SO ridiculous that these sets sold out that quickly.

Well, I've been working on organizing my Cobra Army.
In my Joeverse, Cobra Commander is the overall commander of all Cobra Forces, but he's not like he is in the old Cartoon. He's totally ruthless and tactically brilliant, but what makes him able to remain in control is that he's very politically astute. So, I'm dividing Cobra into Divisions or "Regiments" 1. Cobra Air Force - led by Wild Weasel. All Cobra Aircraft except for Python Patrol aircraft or Crimson aircraft. Smaller stuff like jetpacks or Trouble Bubbles are just used by the Infantry. 2. Cobra Navy - led by a new character (Retaliation Commander in blue). Deals with all Cobra Naval Forces, including Eels, Snow Serpents, and Para-Vipers (basically the Marine Corps of Cobra). 3. Desert Division - led by Major Bludd. An Armor/Infantry Division made up of 15 Brown POC HISS tanks and multiple ROC Desert Vipers. Python Patrol (Cobra's Special Forces) is also attached to Desert Division because Major Bludd commands that unit. 4. Cobra Viper Regiment - led by Serpentor (who is not a DNA experiment, but a tactical genius and very tough soldier - St. Syr, and Foreign Legion, etc.) 25 Black PC Hiss tanks with 5 Hiss Scouts and 5 Cobra Stingers and over 100 Cobra Vipers. 5. Cobra Trooper Division - led by Krake (Retaliation Commander in black) 33 Retaliation Hiss tanks and 150 ME Cobra Troopers. Also the Airborne Cobra Trooper (Retaliation Troopers) are attached to this unit. 6. Science Division - led by Dr. Mindbender. All Techno Vipers, Hazard Vipers, and B.A.T.S. These units are tasked to the other divisions as needed. 7. Urban Division - led by Firefly. 25 POC Rage Tanks, 120 ME Alley Vipers and 60 Shock Troopers. 8. Crimson Guard - led by Xamot and Tomax. The Spearhead of the Cobra Army. Land Forces let by Tomax: 34 POC Crimson Hiss tanks, 16 Cromson Attack Tanks (MOBAT repaint) and 80 ME Crimson Guard troops. Air Forces led by Xamot: 4 Crimson Attack Choppers, 12 Crimson Attack Jets and 1 convention exclusive attack chopper. 9. Cobra Security (M.P.s for base security). Led by Croc Master. Still working out the roster. 4 or 5 Trouble Bubbles. 10. Cobra Intelligence led by the Baroness. Deals with any Mercs and tasks certain intel missions to the different units. 11. Iron Grenadiers led by Destro - seperate from Cobra, but works with Cobra 12. Range Viper Corps led by Skullbuster (Basically Cobra's version of an Amphibious/Airborne Ranger Regiment - Shock Troops) 30 Jungle Range Vipers, 30 DTC Range Vipers, 10 25th Range Vipers. They report directly to Cobra Commander. What do y'all think?

Very nice Oliver. What will be the difference between the Troopers and the Vipers ? Heavy Infantry vs Light ?

I like it. Is this just what you own? Or what your including? I've taken to naming whichever CC figure I use as the naval commander Anaconda. I was using ROC Cc as Anaconda but I willswitch that out with Retaliation.
I'm not sure about The CGs as to me they all seem like officers. I cant picture a whole combat unit of only officers. Love the Range vipers. Do you really have 30 Jungle range vipers?
