SDCC 2017 Convention Exclusive Cobra Missile Command Playset

JediJones · 08-23-2017, 02:24 PM

Hasbro.com has a nicer design for checking out at least than the clunky as hell neo-HTS. But, man, having to monitor 2 sites now for Thrawn is just making things doubly annoying.

Interestingly, my HTS account works on Hasbro.com, but I had to fill out the details again like address. It makes a lot of sense to just brand their toy store as their company name and file it as a section of their core web site instead of a separate site. Hopefully HTS just goes away soon.

It almost seems like a decision was made that any new stock would only be put up on Hasbro.com so they can phase out HTS. That could explain why these two restocks were preceded by a deletion from HTS.

If you're interested, I have a set that I opened and am keeping the trooper and officer out of. The "Mickey Mouse" Cobra Commander and dio pieces are unopened and the box is in great shape.

I guess for vintage accuracy, that makes sense since it wasn't painted, but because of the helmet they used, makes him look unfinished.

Wow that is a detail that defiantly make the difference in the Commander figure.

That means we need to swap his helmet for the other version release before...

Nice!

By the way I notice that the cover of the box also show the Commander with just the blue helmet on...

I'd just swap the whole figure head-to-toe.

Ok now the missile command is gone from Hasbro.com and HTS. Whatever that means.

Well, I do like the Mickey Mouse logo so I'll probably keep him as is. However, if someone has an extra Ult CC helmet and arm from the elbow down to trade, I'm listening.

Did anyone successfully order it today?

I know of two 'Tankers who placed orders for the Missile Command set today.

Shit I really thought I would be able to get this and have a hard time getting the revolution set. Total opposite.
