Yeah, I think CT, RB, and BH are done but a few Baroness are still trickling in.
I think this thread died because the people who wanted to buy them have done so and commented and the folks who don’t want to by them from eBay have moved on. |

Hello All!
Just joined this forum and this is my first post. I've been following the Cobra Island thread and can definitely say I've had the same experiences that most others have had. POP Findr helped my score a Beach Head and after much stress and driving, I managed to score two Baroness's. I am still after the elusive Cobra Trooper (Ahh the stress of being a completist!) I won't go into all of the gory details, but got the same "street dated until the 14th" from every store in the area. I was advised to show up early on the 14th if I wanted one. Showed up and was at the aisle two minutes after they opened the doors (with several other people). I was told that all the Troopers were sold earlier in the week, so they didn't have any. After that I got the run around from a few other stores that had restocks and am now empty handed. If anyone is interested, I would be more than willing to trade a Baroness for two Cobra Troopers. (One to open and one to keep sealed) Heck, one can already be opened since I'll open it anyway. There are a few condition issues with the two I found. One is in immaculate condition, however, whoever opened the case slit into the top with their boxcutter. The other has some dings on the corners and the pistol was out of place from being bumped around during shipping. I managed to get the pistol locked back in its slot by carefully playing plinko but it may pop out again when shipped. I will part with either one and it seems like most people on here open up there items. Right now both have never been opened. I'd even be willing to throw in a couple bucks to offset the condition issues if necessary. Hopefully this will help someone out (and myself as well ) I will not sell it on ebay and if no one here is interested, I will most likely return it so someone else can have that "finders feeling" Last edited by Falcon84; 09-20-2020 at 09:28 AM.. |

That’s the thing that baffles me. One store in my area denied me the Cobra Trooper back before the 14th. I went to another Target and only got Beach head. Though a buddy of mine did score me 2 Troopers. Sorry they are mine. I got so disgusted I went ahead and got 2 more Troopers one from Mercari and one from EBay. Had some funds in both to use. So yeah I’m the future don’t make army builders exclusives.

Congrats to both of you for receiving your preordered CTs. I ordered two on the 24th. One got cancelled and the other has been on backorder for weeks now. I hate Target. They also cancelled three Transformers I had on preorder, but never bothered to notify me. Jerks.

Some have mentioned that Target doesn't sell enough toys for it to be worth their while to care about our Joes, or for them to make a toy help desk (like in electronics). It's also been said that the low level employees don't earn enough pay to care about helping anyone.
Even though action figure sales may not generate a ton of revenue for Target, I would argue it's still in their best interest to give a shit. Because if they don't, they run the risk of pissing off a group of people badly enough, that they start avoiding the store out of spite. I think that is where some collectors are at, at this point. Pissed off to the point that they will go out of their way to avoid the store all together. That's not what you want as a retailer.

I was thinking more viking funeral where they just surround me with cases of cobra troopers and baroness on a little boat just in case grave robbers.
