I order 2 infantry from EE and 2 from BBTS and none have shipped.

Hasbro discontinuing them and Target discontinuing them for sale are two completely different things........

If Hasbro didn't discontinue GIJoe, but Target did, maybe it's time to watch Ross and TJMaxx?

Gamestop. Got my Zartan from them, too.

I heard Best Buy also

How are Gamestop's prices? Are they competitive or lower?

Haven’t bought from them myself, but the other day BeachheadMatt wrote the following:

My infantry orders started coming in over the last week. I got my orders from EE and cmdstore. Still waiting on BBTS and Dorkside, but I assume those will follow sometime this month.

Has anybody found Zartan or Infantry at a physical GameStop store?

My favourite line is "Needless to say, he doesn't sneak up on people to do them any good."

Almost all the Dreadnoks have excellent filecards, imo. Particularly Zarana and Thrasher (possibly my favourite filecard period). And aside from Zartan's initial misdiagnosis, the only truly lousy one is Road Pig's, which I doubt was even written by Larry Hama. Sounds more like it was written by a third-rate Rodney Dangerfield impersonator, actually.

Though those are rather unusual wardrobe choices for someone not looking to attract attention, that doesn't necessarily prove Hama was hostile to the character. In fact, I've noticed a major disconnect between quite a few figure designs and their filecards. One obvious example being W.O.R.M.S., who much more closely resembles a high-ranking officer, than the lowly worker drone Hama describes. Also, Range Viper's look/colour scheme doesn't exactly seem very well-suited for wilderness survival.
