Also, Tony, where did you get your "Timber" to go with Classified Snake Eyes? I keep ordering what look like 1:12 wolves off Amazon, but have to return each one because once I receive them, they're just TOO small...

But the Safari LTD ones seem about right. I like the white one looking forward too, about same size, but I think it needs to be more grey and I don't paint. https://amzn.to/2F5vAe7 |

Cool. I bet a lot of Snakes and Joes are envious.

This is a Safari LTD one. I found it at Michael's in person while looking for something else. I believe it's this one on Amazon. https://amzn.to/2ZcxAIF

I wasn't apologizing for buying the figures. I made that choice, am fine with it. Don't prefer it, but fine with it. I also hold no ill will towards the guy who sold it to me, or anyone else. I appreciate the hustle and if people can make some bucks go for it. I am not one of the folks hating on scalpers or flippers. Most are just fans looking to support their own habit. Some are small businesses, I get it. We can all use an extra bump every so often.
I am also not mad at fans who bought all 6 for themselves. If I saw them, I would have done the same thing. I actually want them for me, and I know local friends who want multiples as well. So that would have been a no brainer. I would have bought 2 or 3 cases if I could have, and re-sold none. It's the companies who create the situation at multiple points in the system that I aim my grumble cursing at. I apologized generally to the fans, as I know how it feels to see things you want, try to get, can't get. And I was posting it hours after everyone who did fail realized - that was officially it. I tried to get our pics up and let a discussion about the whole thing happen, without waving shit in people's faces like "ha ha i got em and you didn't". So I stand by how that was worded and presented. The pics are awesome! Thanks for sharing and well said! |

After weeks and weeks and WEEKS of stalking my local (and only) Target on a daily basis (sometimes 2x times a day), for Siege/Earthrise and Classified figures, the toy person (who will go unidentified for their protection) who I’ve come to know after asking repeatedly if certain figures where in store yet....saw me sadly wandering around the barren Joe section, helplessly looking for any Joes that might’ve been ‘accidentally’ misplaced....they promptly returned and said “Here ya go, I knew you’d be looking for this guy. Only 1 box came in today but I was able to save this one for you.” That person received the FIRMEST of handshakes.
Very cool, congratulations! |

I just wanna thank you for all the great pics, I've been scouring the internet for nice hi-res pics to use as phone wallpaper, as I am one of the few, if not the only person in internetland who is enamored with this set. I agree that the red parts on the C.O.I.L. Assault cycle are plasticky, but I don't give a bucktooth F***. For a first time outing, this cycle is what it should be, a sense of Cobra aesthetic. It isn't a damn street bike, it's a COBRA ASSUALT VEHICLE. The engineering of it is way above average, for 1/6 scale. The way people are talking about it, you'd think we were getting diecast Maisto vehicles every other month with our Marvel Legends and Power Ranger waves. Oh, wait a minnit . . . the Black Widow Marvel Riders bike sucked sour monkey a**? DO TELL, because THAT'S our average.
I was ecstatic when I saw this Cobra Island wave, for all the figures. Like so many of us, I was limited to the barren store shelves at Tar-GOT-YOU! when August 14th came around. All 5 of my stores in Baltimore area were sold out. There was one store in southwest Baltimore that showed "limited stock", and was about 30 minutes away from my house. I got there opening 8am, to a shelf full of nothing. No backstock, because it actually all sold online and the stupid people working the store and site couldn't have been bothered to update the night before. Unfortunately, I had to shell out $100 + shipping and handling for this set because I have the sour GUT feeling that despite comforting reassurances that these will trickle into store shelves in the next year, they WON'T. HasBLO did us some serious wrong with this wave, and I'm not forgetting it. I even sent them feedback on HasBLO Pulse about it, so hopefully alot of us who got screwed did the same, and they won't do this S**T again. Again, just to recap; thanks a bunch for the fantastic photography, I love your taste and this set, screw HasBLO, GALACTOR-I-MEAN-KUSANAGI LOVER OUT. |
