I got another delay email from Target for my Viper preorder. We're now pushed back to March 2nd. I expect the inevitable cancellation will hit soon.
I won't be feeding the scalpers anytime soon, but we'll see how it goes 6 months from now. I'm not as confident as some of you about the "inevitable" re-release of the CI exclusives at BBTS or other fan channel stores. I think we are more likely to only get a repainted main-line Viper a la Cobra Infantry but not a later CI original. As huge as the demand seems to us right now, I don't believe that GI Joe Classified--unlike Star Wars or Transformers--is popular enough for Hasbro to warrant the re-releases. I hope i'm proven wrong. I'll expect that i'll be fine with just a main-line repaint for the Viper, unless it varies greatly and in a less appealing way from the CI version. I bit the bullet last month and bought a CI Trooper off eBay when I caught one that wasn't an obscene price. The CI Trooper is different enough from the Cobra Infantry (which i have preordered from a couple of places) that it really fills the Cobra Officer slot for me. |

Speaking of which, my $69 "Ebay Exclusive" Cobra viper arrived last night. It's a mighty fine figure.

If you're on the fence at $60-70, go ahead and buy it now. Worst case scenario, if you decide you don't want it you can sell it for $100+ in about six weeks and get ahead by $20 or so after fees.
Treat the following as rock-solid guarantees: a) Target will not get sufficient (or any) restock. b) Prices are at the bottom and will stabilize shortly in the low hundreds. c) You're not gonna get your Target preorder.

I saw an email alert for a FFF and I thought, "here we go." I can see it now, new Target CI exclusives are 83' SE, 84' SS, and the Crimson Guard and Alley-Viper as troop builders.
Fortunately the FFF is for Marvel Legends. |

That said, your response was exceedingly patient. Knew I liked you. You're a class act, Styg.
