The only thing that bothers me about CI Roadblock is that they seem to have made too many of him compared to Beach Head. I think they misjudged the popularity of the character, and probably the negative reaction to the color scheme on V1 (which meant there was already RB fatigue when the second version came out).
Parts and buck reuse can be expected, but they do have to exercise judgment. They could release another 50,000 Troopers in the next wave and still sell them out. Beach Head is also a great candidate for reuse. But another Scarlett (who is my favorite Joe, incidentally; just not this version) or another Duke is likely to kind of languish or receive a lukewarm reception. |

Hasbro regularly does this though. A case of Classified wave 2 has only one Red Ninja, two Cobra Commanders, and *three* Gung Hos. Who in their right mind would think that out of those three characters Gung Ho would be the most popular? Maybe it has to do with how much they cost to produce and Gung Ho is just that much cheaper?
Also, that's just the retail case. Online stores can order solid cases of any Hasbro figure nowadays, so while you may not be able to find a ninja in stores right now places like BBTS can get as many as they want |

It just takes a couple of years to get them in stock . . . .

You mean, Jan-March?
That's still better than 5 years ago when they didn't sell solid cases and if you didn't find a figure at retail you were screwed, back then BBTS would only sell sets with figures 1x per case, so to get multiple Ninjas you'd have to buy 1 CC and 1 GH for every ninja. |

Well...I found this this morning. They got in 1 of her and RB apparently. We may be able to get more CT's. All is not lost.

The craziest part? They got her in YESTERDAY. The associate that works in the toy section who I spoke with seemed shocked (and rightly so) she was still there.

I have way too many Baronesses from a confluence of factors, but I doubt I could have passed her up seeing her sitting there.

I ended up cancelling my Target 230am pre-order as I ended up with quite a few Baroness that were bought walking into local targets. I hope my hunts will be the same for FireFly and the Viper.

You're lucky. I only got one Baroness from Target and it was a 2:30 AM preorder. I got several others from eBay and then two from Forbidden Planet in the UK (probably won't order from them ever again given how they do shipping).
