went to one target and nothing, but they told me there was 1 in stock at a store 20 minutes away; get there and nothing! Went to guest service desk and a very nice girl told me there was 1 in stock in the entire southern ohio region. I called the store and the manager was a complete jerk and refused to hold it for me. He said “their” policy was to never hold collectibles. He said it was first come, first served. I know he is full of crap! So i fly like a bat out of hell there hoping she would still be on the shelf. To my joy and amazement she was!

Popfindr said there were 2 Baronesses near me. I called to the store and gave the dpci. The employee said she knew it was a very popular item. She said she looked and couldn't find any. She said they came on a truck overnight .
It really seems like employees took them all for themselves. The employee said "maybe" they're going to online orders. |

Is Roadblock so uncool or overproduced? He's been in stock steady online and in some stores while the other 3 are almost ghosts.

Each figure is 6 per case. While Roadblock is not a bad figure at all, he already had a Wave 1 release. This is Beach Head’s first release, and it’s great. Plus, he is a very popular character. The Cobra Troopers require no explanation... they are awesome and army builders!

I have only been able to purchase Cobra Island Roadblock (Hes heavy duty to me) in my area as he is shelf warming.... I have seen Baroness roughly 12 times..... in other collectors/resellers/flippers hands... In NYC and Long Island it has been a real fuster cluck... People lining up at doors at 630am, people sneaking in thru the backdoor via their contacts, some using their "age" to get in to buy cleaning products but then are in the toy aisle already as of 801 when the first person in line hit the aisle.... I don't even know what to do I am so frustrated by this hunt for beach head and baroness.... On the local toy groups I see people with 4 or 5 beach heads looking to trade him for troopers... meanwhile everyone with troopers already probably have beach head! I am really holding out hope for a wider baroness and trooper release, beach head is the only one I am uncertain about getting one. But the frustration level is thru the roof on this one. I won't buy from ebay but let me say... I TOTALLY get why people are doing it.

I have personally seen it and others in my local FB groups have reported on it a few times as well so it is definitely happening. I can't say how widespread but its happening
