Not offended or pissed, so I don't know what role I'm supposed to slow here. Please don't read more into my response than what's there, okay? And I know what you meant, so there's really no need to explain a third time. I was just pointing out again (and am for the third time now, too, I think) that's not a mistake ESL speakers usually make. BTW, I reached out and was told that it's meant to imply that a lot of Cobra vehicles are cheap and rushed.

Strictly IMO, but the hysteria will decline in a few months if you're patient. Few of the variant made their way to the US, but plenty in Canada if you know someone you can bribe with a few bags of all-dressed chips to search their local TRU for you.

Otherwise, they'll probably cap out at $50 in 3 months or so. The first Sgt Slaughter figure was on steep discount, imagine this will be the same (and if people scarcely want the figure, the variant value will decline respectively).

So, I'm 100% leaning toward this being an intentional thing implying that, in universe, these vehicles are either supposed to be cheaply made or manufactured too fast to proofread copy. Or both.

What if….( wait for it). it was just a mistake??? I know?.shocking. Crazy even. But what if in fact they just fucked up and it?s not that deep of a rabbit hole?

I agree with that. It's usually the case. I doubt folk would even care much had Sarge not addressed it on Socials.

Are they actually selling at that price? Or is it flipper fishing in hopes of a bite?

So, I was wondering. Does anyone else really love the alt head that comes with Classified Night Creeper? I feel like it completely satisfied my desire for a V2 since the head is the only really good part of the V2 design. I think for certain figures that they will likely never visit it's a great way to include them. If the ever do HEAT Viper then they could include the V2 head and a grenade bandolier and personally I'd be set... You know now that I think about it V2 HEAT Viper and V2 Night Creeper both had rather uninspired bodies with a plain chest and wore a grenade bandolier, so a grenade bandolier would be a good pack-in in general

But yeah, honestly I don't even feel like I would ever need a V2 Creeper but I am extremely pleased with getting the head as a bonus and I'd love to see more of that for figures that had multiple versions.
