Makes me curious as to what other characters are going to be coming for the Cobra Island line.

Guinness needs to contact Hasbro asap. They have been working really hard, and I am sure we are all proud of them. However after all Hasbro's tireless effort it is looking like they may in fact reap the reward of all their troubles. The world record for worst handled action figure line in recent history.

The second video the guy flat out refuses to say how he got the figure and says if you ask him he will ignore or block you or something. He said quote, "I will NOT be discussing where I got this. So DON'T even ask. It's NOT up for discussion. It's NOT going to happen." WHAT?! WHY?! ... If you got it through legal means like, hey you're a reviewer and I get sent things early to review, I found them at Target, or I bought it off of eBay, why not just say that? Does it make these guys feel more important than they are that they know a "secret" and got something early?

I bet what happed was Hasbro probably sent a few Major Bludd figures to some YouTube reviewers. One reviewer thought “hey, can can make some scratch on the side” sold it to a figure seller. Then seller put it up on eBay. Remember the light blue cobra Commander fiasco with the NTWRK app? Folks thought they were getting a variation then turned out they were getting the regular dark blue version.

The rocket pistol is a bummer. The original looked great but pegging the rocket into the barrel just looks a little goofy. |

The biggest gripe about the original releases was that they were too colorful. Now we have arrived at not colorful enough.
Frankly, nothing in all those tiny silver buckle paint apps all over the figure says “lazy” to me. Also adding a touch of white to hair where a lot of folks will probably cover with his helmet. It reads to me as Hasbro taking fan feedback and purposefully keeping the color scheme muted. Or, red cyborg eye confirmed for general release along with Baroness’s purple hair. |

....It's just counting as Income Tax if you sell from a certain amount on Ebay. That's all it is. Like it or hate it this is just eBay catching up with the rest of how America works vis-a-vis taxation.
Do you live in a state with sales tax? Do you have an income? Congratulations you've already been "double taxed" from the day you started buying stuff AND getting a paycheck! I mean no offense but did you just wake up and realize that America has an Income and Sales tax? I am very much aware of the difference between income and sales tax, and I can be angry if I don't like the situation. I don't like the current tax system because it is too complicated; my choice. But if they are going after sellers on Ebay now, how long until they come to the BST threads on this site, or some mom and pop garage sale because they made $600? As far as I'm concerned, I voice my opinion, you took the opportunity to rebut it, and I responded. I'm done. |

So, are these hitting stores now or not? I'm about to take a roadtrip beginning tomorrow. Should I stop at every Target I see along the way?
