Guys.
The FOMO is getting to me REAL BAD. Maybe add that to the worldwide quarantine and I'm just sitting here in my room watching everyone else in the world happily enjoying their Snake Eyes figures. Which I did not get. I live in Japan. PULSE was never an option for me. I told myself....just wait. Just see what the regular retail version is gonna look like. Grab one off Dorkside or something. But it's getting worse by the day. I look at all the cool extras like the hands (which I'm sure will not be included) and maybe even the weapons, which are likely to be made more sci-fi kid friendly. And now I'm looking at ebay. $100 plus shipping. I can't afford that. That would be a very very stupid thing to do for a six inch action figure. But as each hour passes, and I watch more reviews, and see more pics....it keeps calling me. Please friends....talk some sense into me!! I too procrastinated and missed out. Be patient, though people are asking prices with high margins, many listings are sitting online unsold. Don't forget that GI Joe is not as hot a property and 18-20,000 units worldwide is a significant number considering the fan base is smaller than that. The second shipment will add more supply driving prices down. I'd like one as well, willing to trade and pay a fair value over $40 plus tax since anyone that ordered two got free shipping.

Yes Otomo, just be patient. If you break and spend over $100 for a $40 figure you may regret it. And who's to say, once the retail Snake Eyes comes out, which will cost $20, you may like that one better.

To those of you that are looking to get one now that they're sold out, the packaging is heavy as balls, I weighed mine and its 3 lbs 3 oz (IIRC) so that's 4 lbs shipped, its a pricy item to ship.

I don't even want the fancy box or the weapons rack.
Just the figure and his guns and alternate hands and suppressor and backpack and sheath and sword. I just know they're gonna cut more than half of that for the regular release. Oh great, now there's a beautiful in-depth photo shoot on the front page to make me wanna buy this even more!! Argh!! |

They aren't. What you see in the secondary box with the figure is probably what will be in the regular release.I say probably because knowing Hasbro, nothing is 100 %
