I just noticed this. Not sure how long it's been there but it doesn't sound promising. Not like any of us will ever be able to order anyone but Roadblock anyway.

That sucks. I hope these pop up at Pulse and other online vendors since distribution was lacking at Target.

They aren't likely to pop up at Pulse, but many Target exclusives have shown up at places like EE and BBTS this year. It takes about 12 months.

It was bound to happen sooner or later. I am glad hasbro added him to the main line. Hopefully they do the same with Viper. The last one I seen in person was over a month or so ago and one of the Target employees I speak with had said he hasn't seen any more come in since. I gave up that figure to another collector. I was hesitant at 1st but he said he hadn't found a single one. Just in case he was a bullshit scalper I asked who is favorite Joe was and he said Airborne v1 and not Skypatrol. He said he looked a lot like his dad. I figured nobody would bullshit about Airborne being their favourite character LOL. Him reminding this dude of his dad definitely struck a chord because my pops totally could have played a live action Mutt or Bazooka back in the day.

I keep getting "in stock" alerts for Viper, but the damn thing is STILL broken after like 3 something months! These can't be discontinued fast enough as far as I'm concerned. Send them to someone who can handle proper site maintenance, or a discount chain nowhere near me. At least I can call in favors to get them. Damn! What happened to Target. They used to be pretty easy. I have tons of old Target exclusives. This is just ridiculous.

I found a grand total of one of these at retail and they wouldn’t sell it to me due to the whole street date fiasco. I told the manager if you don’t let me buy this one, I’ll never see another one. Turns out I was correct.

The elusive Target Red Hulk just became available again on Target.com, and it's not a tease, I was actually able to place an order. (now we'll see if it actually ships). So perhaps there's hope?!? Maybe like the Red Hulk, in 9 months the CI figures will be available again? Let's hope so.
