Just gonna sit here and mentally prepare to paying $60 each for two new CI figures on eBay, and hope it's not a wave of 3 or more.

Didn't you just recently say you bought a trooper from a scalper on eBay?? Kind of the opposite of what you're suggesting here.

Yeah my anger is going to remain aimed at Target. They haven't tried to get a real handle on this at all. They continue to let the bots have their way on the website, they continue to cancel and/or delay pre-orders, they hide their inventory from tracker websites, but worse, hide their inventory FROM THEIR OWN APP. They refuse to let you check on the availability of a product over the phone, roll their eyes at you when you ask in-store, and have not gotten a handle on their own employees scalping the product.

I'm not sure why people are surprised at more Cobra Island. I'm sure Hasbro signed a contract where they'd release x amount of waves directly to Target. They can't just breach that contract because fans don't like the distribution of the line. They are basically stuck with it until it's completion. They can certainly up distribution (although this will still be limited by how many cases respective Targets order) and take steps to combat online bots but those are things that are unfortunately more on Target's end than Hasbro's. I was anticipating this but hoped it wouldn't be for a semi-major character like Bludd but here we are.

Oh and before anyone yaps at me about the Infantry blah blah...I want the goggles, armband, and sniper rifle. It's non-negotiable. If a Trooper doesn't have those then it's also a pure rip off in my book and ethically no better than scalping the fucking Troopers in the first place.

I think that many would benefit from just sitting back and waiting. As has been noted, don't run to eBay with a "gotta have it now" mentality, then complain that you paid too high a price or that scalpers are this, that and the other when "you" are just fueling that ecosystem. Keep in mind that we knew of 3 target exclusive waves...so yeah, the whole "no more exclusives!" is a moot point for at least the next wave. Now, show of hands: Does anyone here think that if Major Bludd is indeed a Target exclusive, he won't be released somewhere down the line sans Cobra Island packaging and some form of kibble? One thing we all have to remember...besides the dismal supply scenarios, let's not forget that many of us "waited for the line at ROSS", so to think that retailer is going to cater to our segment is a bit optimistic to say the least. |

They better use that "Partner Exclusives" section on Pulse for CI Major Bludd if this shit is real. Because if it is fuck these guys for doing this again.

I did and I didn't excuse myself. However as there is no indication of a Trooper re-release it's kind of whatever in this specific case. I want a Trooper and the only way to get it is through a scalper. I doubt Hasbro will make good and release a trooper with full accessories anyways.

They will be an exclusive to some convenience store in north west Alaska that, the only way in is a sled dog and a 6 mile trek with snow shoes and a Sherpa. Then you get there only to discover one of the two employees put them on eBay for 4 times the retail. And it’ll be an Arctic Destro.
Not bitter or anything.
