[QUOTE=firmpulse;5380382]Cobra Island Wave 2 is done. At least in Middle Tennessee. My friend at Target showed me her handheld that lists the Viper and Firefly as "discontinued"
Again both figure were only out for about a month. I would have expected more. |

[QUOTE=Cobra trooperc;5380401]Most Target exclusives last about a month. They're always limited production runs. Add on collectors and resellers wiping out inventory and they don't last long on the shelves.

Hopefully, we'll get word soon about a future regular wave including a repacked Viper. Hasbro would be bonkers not to announce a repack wave consisting of say:
Baroness Beachhead Firefly Trooper Viper x2

Yes, I know. However, CI Wave 1 lasted over 3 months in my area. This Wave was available in Middle Tennessee only about 1 1/2 months. In addition, many stores only received 1 restock and some didn't get even that. W2 was found in much smaller numbers than W1 around me. That's a fact.

Aaaand Vipers cancelled at 3AM this morning. Figured it was coming but it's still annoying as hell. Here's hoping the mainline re-release comes quickly. That or an online retailer re-release like some past exclusives have been getting.

Same thing just happened to me. Was lucky to preorder them 1 minute after they went up back in September just to have them canceled today. No way am I ever preordering from target again. so disappointing.

Hasbro should be announcing those new waves soon. It's Toy Fair time, and this is about the time last year we found out Classified was even a thing.

So I woke up this morning and had my viper pre-order cancelled, despite approving 4 delays. I also pre-ordered the second they went up on target along with firefly. I got my firefly shipped like 2 months ago.
As much as I love GI Joe, this CI experience w/Target has beaten me into submission and I have officially thrown in the towel on this line. I managed to acquire all the figures w/the exception of the CI cobra troopers. But it wasn't easy and it was very aggravating, frustrating and at times just not fun at all to collect this line. So I gave up and put all my figures up on eBay except my hasbro pulse SE and amazon storm shadow. To speak on the "inflated prices" I've seen mentioned on this thread, I started all my auctions at $0.99 w/free shipping. I let the market and demand dictate the prices. My baroness sold for $175 and beach head sold for $100 alone. It's not my fault or any other seller's fault that there are people out there willing to pay these kinds of prices. In the end, hasbro lost another paying customer of this line. I went form being a completist of this line to just buying my favorites if I happen to see them out in the wild. |

My last Viper preorder remains backordered and not canceled, but I've less than zero expectation it will be fulfilled.
Aren't there some people here who have Trooper orders that are outstanding (i.e., not canceled yet) still? Abysmal either way.
