This is an important, obvious point I hadn't thought about.
Up to and including Flint/Lady Jaye, there are 23 figures in the line all around, 17 unique characters, 6 are repeats (Snake Eyes, Destro, Cobra Commander x 2, Cobra Infantry, Roadblock). Of the 17 unique characters in the line, 5 are only available at Target. That's 30% of the entire line so far. It's also 50% of builders (Trooper/Viper vs Red Ninja/Infantry). Absolutely wild in that perspective. A lot of poor corporate decisions. Great point.

I got my scalper supplied Beachhead in the mail today and while I was really waffling on whether or not I should've got the scalpered Trooper...man, Beachhead I have no regrets. I'm just glad I got this figure.
TO BAD it couldn't have been a retail though yeah!? Too bad the only way you can get this guy is paying 4x price! Too bad that if you want a retail version, the greens will be blue, and he won't have his rifle or crossbow. Because fuck you nerd if you think you deserve all the accessories like the CI version. Get ready to feel this way all over again for Bludd, ya'll. 5% of us are gonna get this figure. Half of them will be in scalper hands for 6x price on eBay, and the other half will belong in the shadow cabal of elite Target employees, dealing in the dangerous, high octane world of toys. Hasbro will certainly find a way to dick us over harder. The Cobra Island version will actually have a functioning elbow on the figure! That will be eliminated for the retail one. Oh and the retail one won't have...won't have a helmet or some shit, because having accessories is for NERDS! Last edited by PlanckEpoch; 04-07-2021 at 10:15 PM.. |

Couldn't give a shit anymore. All I care about is getting the figures that I want with all the accessories, not POS rip-off figures like the Infantry.
That being said I agree with people when they say don't feed scalpers and such. I'm no saint I've been guilty of that even in Transformers as of late. These guys should have been available, and NEED to be available. Hasbro needs to make it right by GI Joe fans by re-releasing the Cobra Island figures. |

My thoughts exactly. I didn't even bother with the Viper and Fire Fly. I guess this at least saves me some money for things like the Mezco Superman set that was put up for pre order today. I'll be honest if this wasn't GI Joe I more than likely would have gave up on the line back in August when I sat here waiting for items to show up for pre order only to get as far as adding Beach Head to my cart then be told the item was unavailable when trying to check out.
Comparatively I've had very little trouble finding the new Transformers figures compared to the Joes. I can even find the Target exclusive Bumble Bee line with ease. At this point I would be happy just to see any Classified figure on a peg. |
