That's a bit misleading. Cobra definitely trended towards the fanciful in terms of their arsenal (though never exclusively; see Rock Viper's PSG-1, for example), but a very large number of G.I. Joe weapons were, in fact, based quite directly on obscure or unusual real-world firearms (Beachhead's rather exotic-looking Demro XF-7 "Wasp" SMG being one such example) and even in the neon 90s, the selection of weaponry on the parts tree was such that for every laser gun, you'd generally also get a Colt 635, FN GPMG, H&K MP5K, etc, with the same figure.
It's just goofy fans whining about this when the line was always packed with make believe and gun nuts crying foul when the original toys were almost never accurate to the real things either. There was a few spot on guns sure, but more so than not most were toyified simplified and altered versions of sort of real guns. It's like folks whining about the MP5K looking gun with Baroness upcoming figure, cause it's not totally accurate. It's close enough, and lets not dig out some of the goofy looking MP5 wanna-bees from the old ARAH lines. Last edited by PanzerKrake; 06-07-2021 at 06:14 PM.. |

This is the way! My only gripe is that it's called "Heavy Artillery" Roadblock because artillery is long-range, not infantry. Someone should have caught that. But the design is exactly what most of us have been wanting. And being on Amazon it's the only one i can actually buy. So well done, mostly.

So one thing that I didn't like about the Fan First Friday reveals is that they pretty much announced all exclusive figures.
HA Roadblock - Amazon Exclusive Break with RAM - Target Exclusive BBQ - Target Exclusive Snake Eyes and Timber - Fan Channel Exclusive There was no announcement of the next main line wave. No announcement of a Viper re-release into the main line, thus keeping Ebay prices high. Is this line just going to go all exclusive now? |

The next wide release was already announced as the movie figures, which could be two waves.

So I just found out about the roadblock figure. Any tips on how to get it for a reasonable price?
Also, how would you find out about these various preorders? I dont have social media Thanks.

As for the Roadblock figure, I've heard that he's come back in stock on Amazon at least once. So maybe keep checking that page to see if pre-orders open up again. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08S59Z446/
