Let's use this thread to actually talk about the figures. Keep the other one for rightfully bitching about the cluster farkery.
Full set, 180+ pics: Cobra Trooper, Beach Head, and Roadblock – Cobra Island G.I. Joe Classified In-Hand Gallery (Sorry) And finally - The Baroness with C.O.I.L. G.I. Joe Classified Baroness and C.O.I.L. In-Hand Gallery Last edited by Tony_Bacala; 09-04-2020 at 03:53 PM.. |

Excellent photos. I hope these get a second print run in the same packaging. It's almost as if fans have not been asking for these for 10+ years and Hasbro was caught off guard by demand.

If anyone collects Star Wars Black Series or Transformers then you should be aware of Target exclusives. Ive seen plenty of Star Wars Black Series exclusives hit the shelves early and everyone scrambled just to show up months down the line and easy to track down. Same with Transformers. The Seekers 2 pack that just came out was gold. Now I have come across it at multiple stores . Just be patient. I was one that tried to secure some and was hoping this morning there would be plenty of stock. Nope. Roadblock was available for a bit and just saw him in stores but without the others I just said not yet. Beach Head seemed to be available online (received notification) but could not add in cart. I was able to add it really quick and then snagged immediately. I am hoping Target will recieve some new stock. Or maybe Hasbro will put out a Cobra Trooper 2 pack or similar to the Marvel line with Hyrdra/AIM troopers as a Pulse exclusive. If these are not available downt he road I may have to bow out of the G.I. Joe 6 inch line.

Appreciate the sentiment Tony, but no apology needed. Respect your commitment and admire the hell out of your photography and posing talents.
Quick thoughts: BH's green guns I actually hate less than I thought I would, but they're gonna get their asses replaced (expect for the crossbow, of course). I can't any flaws in CT and the display options are fantastic. RB...honestly I think I would have bought if he didn't have that dumbass ear gadget. So much more personality in this one as compared to V1. Agree that they should have waited to release as filler or re-branded as Heavy Duty. |

I agree with you. I hate waiting. Great read and I am glad I did not get into the 6inch line. Feels like the 25th Wave 1 - 4 Fiasco back in 2007. Hasbro still has not figured out that there is Joe fan out there, and when done right, will sell out like this.

Tony, I really appreciate your commentary on this debacle, and you have nothing over-which to apologize, you have not made anything worse, in my estimation. The pics are great, thank you for sharing them.

Was able to purchase one Beach head and one cobra trooper at a target in Mansfield Ohio They had them behind the front service desk and had a limit of one character per guest which i understand but @ the same time
First come first served should have taken place and another collector and i were the only ones in the store @ 8:00 and were both willing to be adults about it and not argue or be douches to each other i want like 6 cobra troopers i have 3 now 2 from 3 weeks ago i was lucky enough to snag and the 1 from today would have liked another beachhead as well for parts etc guess maybe ill find 1 later I will still continue to collect this line Since I have loved G.I. Joe for almost 40 years ...Hope everybody that didn’t find anything isn’t too bitter and will push for this line to be better stocked distributed etc .. YOOOOO JOE ....
