Anyway, I imagine some of you are fans/ collectors of the GI Joe Classified toy line. I was wondering if any of you have had a similar experience to mine, and if so, could you give me some advice.
My story.
I'm not a serious collector. I hadn't bought a GI Joe figure in over 20 years. I found out about this line this summer (after the first wave had come out.) I was new to collecting so I went to Big Bad Toy Store (the only collectible retailer I knew of at the time) and ordered the whole first wave. That was back in July. I'm still waiting for my order to be filled and shipped. ������ Shortly after that I found out about the Target exclusive Baroness...which, of course, sold out before I could even get online. I'm still trying to get one but I'm not willing to pay 3x retail value for it. Then I found out about the Amazon exclusive Storm Shadow. I ordered it back in September. It also has not been filled or shipped. I've inquired about this to both customer service departments and they both said the same thing....they're waiting on shipments from Hasbro.
So I was wondering if any of you have similar stories (misery loves company). Also, if any if you have any advice on how to proceed from here I'd be grateful. I'm frustrated. Frustrated enough to consider cancelling my orders and just giving up on this line. So again, any advice would be appreciated and feel welcome to vent here as well.
Hey bro, I live just south of ya. Man you've missed a lot. Oh and boy do we have similar stories. Just go to Hasbro's Facebook page for Pulse and G.I. Joe and under just about every post about G.I. Joe every single comment is people trashing Hasbro. Their live streams have been hilarious where everyone is just trashing them over and over especially with the no more Target comments.
Follow those two Facebook pages and tune into their live streams when they have them. Also check this site for info. That way you know what is coming out and when. Then you can hopefully order on time and quickly on Hasbro Pulse, BBTS, or Amazon. As for the Target exclusives. Find their DPCI numbers either on here or Target's web site and when the street dates gets near start looking them up on Popfindr. And head to the stores that have them at 7:00 AM or whenever they open on the street date. Don't be afraid to nicely ask a clerk for them and give them the DPCI number and tell them that you know they have them in stock.
I've gotten most of my stuff off of Hasbro Pulse. My Regal Cobra Commander came today from them. Sure I've had to wait months. I ordered that figure back in like June. Hopefully the rumors are true and we actually see figures on shelves come next year. But I doubt it. Hasbro hasn't gotten any better with Star Wars so I doubt they will with Joe.
P.S. The attached picture is of a few of the figures next to me on my desk that I got this year. All via Hasbro Pulse but two that I went and asked for at Target. And if you want to get rid of the "blasters" and Nerf guns that these new figures are coming with and arm them with real weapons go on BBTS and pre-order the weapons sets from Valaverse.
