I think buying this line is just a game of patience, more so for us fans outside the US.
I managed to eventually get most of the figures that have been released apart from the Viper. Firefly, Zartan, Cobra Infantry, Flint and Lady Jaye are on pre order. Paid extra for Baroness, Storm Shadow and Regal CC on Ebay. Got the rest at various online Stores. But i am definately having more fun collecting Transformers War for Cybertron Trilogy toys. At least i can get these at retail here in the UK.

My 8-year-old wants a Viper and a Beachhead but there is no way I will spend $100-$200 for those figures when I know he just wants to play with them and add them to his bin of other 6"-7" figures. I want to pay current retail toy prices for current retail toys. Apparently, that concept is lost on Hasbro. Thank goodness my son likes some other toys by brands like Jazwares and Spin Master.

Meant to ask back when...
Leading up to the Pulse event last year with Snake Supreme extra cheese, I got a boatload of emails touting all those exclusives as reason for going Premium; but a day after all of us poor folk were allowed to buy, a bunch of those exclusives were shifted to preorders. Did anyone who paid the $50 specifically to get a Snake Supreme or Heroes of Endor try to get a refund since those items didn't end up being exclusives? Don't think Hasbro would've obliged, but I'm curious what the company line would be. Don't get me wrong. I think giving all those other fans a chance to get those items was a great decision, but Hasbro isn't consistent in the great decision department. Also, one of those emails mentioned that Pulse was going to be changing the way they did the Premium thing, making it based on buying loads of stuff instead of a flat fee. The email said more info would be coming, but I guess Hasbro dropped that idea once they realized how many Premium memberships they could sell by putting a case of CI figs up for 2 minutes. (No, I don't really believe that. Just couldn't resist.) Pulse is gettin' kinda sleezy. |

See, this talk about the kids is the uknown factor in the equation.
We have no idea what the real demand for these figures is, because so far the only people who know about it are people who read G.I. Joe news sites, listen to G.I. Joe podcasts, and watch G.I. Joe youtubers. We have no idea how many of these things they could be selling to people who just run over to the toy aisle to grab something for their nephew's birthday party or whatever.

Hey Hasbro Why can't you put up a preorder and give people at least a few days window to order than place your quantity order with the factory?? This line is frustrating to say the least.

I purchased the premium access last year and feel I got screwed on the deal. Again half the time when new items dropped during the day I was at work and by the time I could get on the site everything was sold out. Free shipping doesn't mean jack if there is no product to buy. I do not see the value to renew it again.

However, when it comes to the Cobra Island exclusives, they're likely limited in how many they can sell on Pulse by the exclusivity agreement. There's probably a time window that has to pass before they could offer the figure themselves, and when they do it will probably have to be at least mildly different (see: Cobra Trooper vs. Cobra Infantry). I have no doubt Hasbro will make a non-exclusive Viper, quite possibly before the year is out. He might come with a different colored scarf or something (or maybe they'll reverse his upper thigh pieces because they look like they were assembled backwards as far as lining up the "red ridges" and I can't unsee it), but he'll still clearly be who he's supposed to be. Folks just have to be patient. I mean I feel for you if you're an absolute completist, but if it's just a matter of getting versions of the character, they'll come eventually. |
