of finding the following? BATs, the white Cobra version of Storm Shadow, and the black commando Snake Eyes. I remember back in the day BATs was nearly impossible to find and it seems that way again.
So I am wondering if these are pretty much done being released or if there is still hope? |

You'll run across BATs. Be patient.
Snake-Eyes has been re-released on a new revision card. He's showing up at Walmarts, Targets, and TRUs... I see about 10 every time I go out. Storm Shadow will be re-released around Christmas time on a revision card. Just a matter of time. |

I see BATs now and again... check Kohls. I see the black Snake Eyes too... he's in the new revision cases all the Wal Marts are getting.
As far as the white Stormy... you'll have to find either loose from the Cobra 5 pack (some are still out there at Kmart, TJ Maxx, etc...) or from wave 4 on the 25th logo card, probably on eBay or ask a fellow tanker, they might have them... is he going to be re-released? I think so. In other words... those figures are still easy to get with a little hunting.

I saw 4 BATS today and 2 Snake Eyes, so your chances are still good... white Cobra SS I think is scheduled to hit again in a few waves (if I remember hearing correctly).

bats are being packed in wave 10 as it hits wal mart, so buck up little camper! Your dreams of robotic world domination aren't foiled!

Sweet, thanks for the quick reply... Glad to hear it is just a matter of time for those classics. I was getting frustrated by striking out the couple times a week a visit the local stores.
What about the 25th Anniversary GI Joe and Cobra 5 packs that seemed to be in stores last year? That seems to be the best way to get those key originals from back in the day. Think those are still being released? I just rediscovered all this in the past few weeks but this site has been great for info! |

Thanks all, the waves are a bit confusing... It doesn't actually say on the card what wave it is in does it?

I just rediscovered all this in the past few weeks but this site has been great for info! The BAT is not only shipping still, but a repaint is out in the "Arise Serpentor" DVD Battlepack, AND a "battle damaged" BAT is due in the single carded figure assortment early next year. In addition, being a popular trooper, the figure is certainly on the "short list" for a Toys R Us multipack. Cobra Storm Shadow is, as said, due in a revision of wave 12 (shipping now). You might see him around Christmas time Commando Snake Eyes has shipped in several case assortments already. All three are due to be released early next year as part of the "Hall of Heroes" repaint assortment. Waves are not printed on the cards, and it is largely moot since pretty much every figure will ship multiple times across several months due to wave carry over and revision cases.

So what is a "revision"? I am pretty much only interested in new versions of what was released back in the early to mid 80s. Like I noticed there are about 5 different versions of Storm Shadow? The only ones I remember growing up was the original white one, and then the white one with the gray stripes on it.
I would love to be able to find a BAT or two like the original but I don't think I would be into a repainted battle damage one? Oh yeah, thanks for the link too. |
