Just got this email from BBTS:
Hi - Hasbro has removed the Cobra Trooper from this wave, and replaced it with a second Blade Destro figure. Everything else on this wave remains the same. We just wanted to let you know about the change - it was discovered today when inspecting our first small shipment of this item. We will notify you when the rest of our shipment arrives and your preorder is processed. Thanks Joel www.bigbadtoystore.com |

My respect for Hasbro gets less and less every day. If anything stops me from continuing to collect this line, it will certainly be their doing.

From the BBTS description:
Case is to consist of one each of Cobra Air Trooper, Snow Job, Crimson Guard, Armored Cobra Commander, Rock & Roll, Lieutenant Torpedo, and 2x Blade Destro (Hasbro changed the content of this case - they removed 1x Cobra Trooper and added 1x Blade Destro) |

If that helps? LMK |

dood seriously i dont know what the hell is going on and i am not trying to bitch but jesus christ whom ever is deciding to put what into what ever cases.. and then getting them shipped has thier head up thier ass you dont leave your people on stand by for months at a time and then pull a bait and switch this is getting pretty irritating not seeing anything at the store for months and then when you do it hits but at the higher price point... where is wave 7? are the stores making 100 percent sure they have no inventory to sell at 5.99 before jacking up the price 1$? is this all part of the master plan? it sure would be nice if people would clue us sheep in on what they are doing before the 'sheep' decide to go and graze in othert pastures.. |

Happened with the cases of wave 3 comic two-packs, as well. They substituted a Dreadnoks pack and a Destro vs. Breaker pack for the duplicate Tomax & Xamot and Fred & Scarface packs. It was kind of annoying, but I was able to find second packs at retail, so no big deal.

Repost ;)
End of this thread http://www.hisstank.com/forum/showthread.php?t=7726 Anyways, I can imagine this annoys BBTS as much as it does us. It's hard to build a customer relationship when the product they ordered shows up different than the original order. If I had to pay Hasbro $50 and I sent them $40 and $10 equivalent pesos, they'd be pissed too. Hasbro already killed GI Joe once, it'd be naive to assume they wouldn't do it again. |
