New GIJOE Classified Cobra Island Special Mission Sets

[QUOTE=firmpulse;5380382]Cobra Island Wave 2 is done. At least in Middle Tennessee. My friend at Target showed me her handheld that lists the Viper and Firefly as "discontinued"

Again both figure were only out for about a month. I would have expected more.

Most Target exclusives last about a month. They're always limited production runs. Add on collectors and resellers wiping out inventory and they don't last long on the shelves.

Hopefully, we'll get word soon about a future regular wave including a repacked Viper. Hasbro would be bonkers not to announce a repack wave consisting of say:
Baroness
Beachhead
Firefly
Trooper
Viper x2

Yes, I know. However, CI Wave 1 lasted over 3 months in my area. This Wave was available in Middle Tennessee only about 1 1/2 months. In addition, many stores only received 1 restock and some didn't get even that. W2 was found in much smaller numbers than W1 around me. That's a fact.

Aaaand Vipers cancelled at 3AM this morning. Figured it was coming but it's still annoying as hell. Here's hoping the mainline re-release comes quickly. That or an online retailer re-release like some past exclusives have been getting.

Sorry man, although not entirely unexpected at this point it still sucks.
