Yeah, and I didn't even want to go check it out. I was checking almost every day for a few weeks.
I even just checked the day before so I was not really feeling like wasting my time, but I just decided to go since I was driving by. Lucky I did. It was limit 1 so I couldn't get the 2nd one to help my friend. I also lucked out on the Cobra Island Trooper a few weeks earlier and managed to get both of them before they changed it to limit of 1 which was why I was checking almost every day. Sold one to the same friend I mentioned above at cost cause he got me CI Beachhead and RB at cost from Target when they were first released and he never found a Trooper for himself. Basically, if you cannot go out to TRU on your lunch breaks to check, you probably won't be getting any of the Cobra Island figures. The Cobra Troopers was on a day that I had taken the day off and the Baroness was on my lunch break. I did find out that the particular TRU seems to restock Tuesday and Thursday morning for G.I.Joe and Star Wars stuff as I have realized I only score there on Tuesdays and Thursdays. A different TRU gets there's on Fridays but that one is in a busier location so I hardly ever get anything but remnants of new waves.

A good buddy gave me a gift this evening. My current favorite figure of the line.
The blacks used throughout the figure are very warm (armor, mecharm, helmet) almost deep brown. with the exception of his weapons. He's got some cowboy influences going on. Really evident in his belt and boots. Old west outlaw Bludd. It sounds weird but it all works very well. This figure better...it FUCKING BETTER be available in large numbers on Pulse. |

Yeah, luke_figuremeout's aggressive/overly-defensive posture is rather off-putting*. Though it may be unintentional/subconscious, his attitude creates an impression he's exploiting "exclusive top secret access" to retain power/emphasize superiority over the viewers. (AKA "rubbing it in everyone else's faces".)
Could have really used the "red eye", too. Minus those small splashes of bright colour, the figure runs the risk of appearing a bit bland, imo. * And his hairy arms aren't helping either. Not sure why, but I just found that super distracting. It was like watching a clip from "Congo", actually. If someone wants to share, great, but this dude didn’t discover proof of alien life. |

The employee at Target I talked to indicated that the store is getting 6 of them come May. 6 for every store. It's going to be a bloodbath. |

Yeah, it will be tough. The fact that he isn’t an army builder may make it slightly better but when a store only gets 6 it just doesn’t make for good odds.

I had to pick up some groceries this evening. Before I did that I stopped in the Target next door to the grocery store. Nothing on the shelves, they were all bare except a few McFarlane Batman, a few animated type looking smaller Transformers, Peter B Parker, one Fig of a character from Shang Chi was there (so that wave must have been there), no Star Wars at all, and only a couple he man and Skelator.
However I did take the picture of the barcode from Major Bludd and scan it and it came up as the pic below, no real info just that the barcode is good. The bottom of the pic which is fuzzy, that was the DCPI . Last edited by JackKnight73; 10-01-2022 at 10:51 PM.. |

Thought I would cruise eBay after all of the Bludd posts.
