Hello everyone,

I know that Cobra Trooper has come and gone for a while now, but I just wanted to share a video I just made of the Cobra Trooper. I was fortunate enough to find this figure at a nearby Target, and since I've had him I consider home the best Classified figure released. In the video I go into how I was able to find him, what I think about the figure (pros and cons) and also comparing him to the vintage trooper. I have uploaded the video to Odysee, which is a Youtube alternative. The link is below. Hope you enjoy the video:

YoJo!

The CT and Baroness were the only 2 I couldn't get. I really wanted to use him as an Officer since he has more stuff than the retail one.

I'm hoping we get a real officer using a different uniform (like the vintage and Sunbow officers).

Agreed. But he could have been a squad leader too. I like variety in my ranks.

When Hasbro announced the Cobra Infantry I expected it to be the Cobra Officer with the silver logo, but it turned out to be the Infantry. Which is fine actually, but I was a little disappointed that he was missing the sniper rifle, goggles and the arm band. At the very least they could've given him some different weapons or accessories. But oh well. I am hoping that someday they will release the Cobra Officer with the silver logo. I'm really looking forward to that.

What are the chances of the next CI wave being released on 1/1/21 (per the Target app)?

Not good.

I don't think the preorders will ship then for sure. I thought the figures might hit stores before the holiday, but I guess not. Who knows when this stuff will actually come out.

I tend to agree as usually they start leaking out a month or so before the release date, and we haven't seen anything yet. However, the optimist in me is hoping that Target is doing whatever they just did with the Rogue & Gambit Marvel Legends figures. They were readily available on release day, so I have to wonder if they were able to hold all the stock back for a change.

Today is the release date for Transformers Runabout and Thrust. Most stores have 1 case of Runabout but Thrust isn't anywhere yet. I think its just a matter of shipping, since they seem to be holding things in the back now.

That said apparently there was another dock strike in the last few weeks which might be holding up Hasbro product from coming in.

My Thrust preorder was delayed until the 15th.
