Well I was able to take a break at work and get on my phone shortly after 5. I wasn’t interested in the exclusive CC and figured I would try for a Viper or zartan. But I couldn’t get them in time. Then I saw the 6’ Drizzt figure from D&D. I got him and left very satisfied as I have been waiting for that figure for almost 30 years. I guess I will be stalking popfindr and targets again.
Anymore fantasy nerds out there? |

Is Cobra Island going to be 3 waves? Since there are 3 locations on the art work map & during the Pulse-con reveal it sure sounded that way since Firefly & the Vipers where at one location & the wave 1 characters at another, leaving the 3rd. If this happens I have a bad feeling the Alley Viper or BAT will be that waves army builder.

When the 6" line was announced I didn't have much interest outside of a few possibilities. I did pick up Destro when I saw him at the store. That is a great figure. I've not found Baroness yet. Probably won't. Hopefully they will make one without the bike. Anyways, Zartan was the one figure I really wanted. I had hopes they would do it justice. Seeing this now, I'm about 90% happy with it. Now just to find one...

Yup, we've all fallen victims to it. Think about the amount of visits this sorta crap pulls in just from us alone. Not just one visit, but multiples.
It's by design that you can't just walk out of there with what you want and came in for on the first or any go around and not come back for weeks plus later. And guess what....Repaints, lesser demanded figures aren't gonna do it. People can pass on those...These though? Nope...They've GOT YOU! Marketing strategies are fun aren't they.... This is where I want to stop the cycle. My new approach with Target--and I will relay this through customer feedback on the company's website (along with a brief summary of how I got here): Target may have been blind sided with the demand and success of the G.I. Joe Classified (Cobra Island Target Exclusive) Line, but I get a sense that the company as a whole does not care. I also get a sense that scalpers are able to capitalize online pre-orders and early morning restocks more than that average customer that also shops at the store for their family. I have started to build a negative consumer experience due to the company's approach to handling and distributing certain store exclusives--most recently the G.I. Joe Classified (Cobra Island Target Exclusive) Line. There are many problems to list, but I will bypass that for now. I have decided to change by store choices. I usually spend about $350-$500 a month a Target, which is not a lot in the big numbers for Target, but I know other competitors would not mind receiving my business instead. And to be honest, I will probably still seek out some Target exclusives through other online sites if inshore or online Target stock/inventory is too much of an obstacle for me. Therefore, I have decided that every Target Exclusive that I buy from a source that it not Target, I will intentionally shift my patronage from what would have also been purchases at Target for that day or week to another local retailer with similar goods and products. For example, if I buy a current G.I. Joe Target Exclusive from Ebay for $70, when the retail price is $20. I will not spend any money at Target until I have spent at least $50 at another retailer on Target-like items. And most likely I will spend more at the other retailer since there will be other add-ons while shopping. An exclusive line should draw customers, they should not cause customers to avoid the business due to frustration and dissatisfaction. Last edited by 1moreJoe; 09-27-2020 at 02:37 AM.. |

Oh, of COURSE the Viper's exclusive to Target in America. C'mon guys, there's Joe fans outside of America!

It looks great right until the back of the main rotor hub then it looks like someone chopped off the tail boom and then just glued on the tail rotor.

Since I was fortunate enough to get my orders through, I woke up to an email containing an online survey for Target.
What a nice, cathartic way to give them a piece of my mind for the entire CI debacle. Fairly but firmly.
