Wonder if we'll even get another Target exclusive vehicle given all the Dukes sitting at Target.

Then again every vehicle has been a target exclusive so I don't see why that would change. Doesn't even have to be a PP version of the Trouble Bubble, either.

You may well be correct - but the learning should be: Don’t try to sell a repainted version of the one Joe vehicle we already have within about a year of original release.

The fact that this was never an ARAH offering (therefore lacking the nostalgia factor that drives a proportion of the sales) doesn’t help either.

Of course, we can’t expect Target to understand the nuances here. They will just see something that didn’t sell through quickly.

Yes. You are totally right. She needs that added articulation. She'd be ninja level flexy if she had it.

They rolled out Gundamit a year or 2 ago as the primary storefront for their Gundam type models/figures. A ShowZ login even works on Gundamit. But now it seems to have everything that ShowZ does. I'm not really sure what the point is anymore LOL

The stands look great, but not for that price. As of now I'd need at least 40 joe ones and 60 cobra ones which would be $229.90; that's way too much just for some stands. Hopefully Hasbro sees this and puts out 20 packs of the stands for $10 and shuts down these KOs.

They are waaaaay too expensive. I don't even use stands for my Classified figures. I dip every figure I open into boiled water for 1 minute. Initially, I started doing that to sand the hip balls a bit. Then figured out it "unlocks" a full articulation range. Helps them by adding more stability to a pose. It may sound ridiculous. But it really does help. Give it a go if you never have.

I didn't buy TF Duke. I was totally onboard to do so when they revealed the render. In that he uses Flint's less obnoxious shin guards. But damn if they didn't release him with his original "look-I-sport-metal-robo-shins" version.

And I hate the tiger growl deco placement on the tank. It's weird. Feel like it would have looked better on the handle bar/light shroud.

Kinda wondering if price is a factor. Snake-Eyes and Timber also seems to be sitting, and being Snake-Eyes, you'd think he wouldn't. Frankly, same with Duke.

Especially since the original Duke is so hard to get now.

Living out here in Cali as I do, I have to use stands. They're fine right now, but once temps start climbing into the 100s, I'll come home after work to find at least one or two figures have toppled over. The EBCO stands other users have suggested work great and are budget friendly.

The upside is that figures that show up during summer and fall months have no issues with stuck joints.

Yeah can't even find one on Ebay lol wanted to try something only one I seen was redeco one but too much :P

Hasbro needs to look at the Batmobile 89. Thing is sold out every where because it was cheap and massive lol. They can't really use the excuse it wont sell imo :P
