Why? Is the figure not fat enough to represent the average Joes collector? (I say this being a Joes collector myself.)

Is the Cobra Island party really over? I never once saw a Beachhead, Cobra Trooper, Firefly or Viper... not that I was hunting Classified Joes, but I would have bought any if I had seen them for local trade bait.

Anyone want to trade Zartan for the new Walgreens Silver Surfer?

I filled out my troopers, just can’t track down a Zartan at this point, and I’m sick of looking.

Zartan and Cobra Troopers are up for pre-order on Amazon.

Received the Target email last night that my order for the Viper was canceled. Not crying about it. Target's loss. I just ordered 2 more Cobra Infantry on another website. Too many other things in life are more important.

Yup, just got the same cancellation notice myself. Not even an "Action Needed" email this time. Well, can't say I haven't been expecting it. It's been like playing Russian Roulette, every "Action Needed" email is like the gun clicking on an empty chamber, you know it's just a matter of time before you literally bite the bullet.

I sent a polite email expressing my disappointment that the Target Buyer and Hasbro have failed customers by not ordering appropriate units to satisfy demand.

Back to something less depressing, actually playing with our toys instead of the frustration of trying to find them! Thanks to Hisstank, I think everyone will be giving their Punisher bike to Zartan, I made a few Dreadnok stickers to customize the bike. Punisher lives in NY so the bike has NY plates, I imagine Zartan lives near swamps so his bike would have Louisiana plates, a close up photo of his vanity plate!

I thought it was made clear that Zartan lived near the Everglades, I'm not a huge Joe guy so I could be wrong. Either way, pretty nice job making the bike his own.

Mmmm, you might be right! Time to make some Florida plates. Ha ha.

I was going to do the same thing with Punishers bike. I bought a couple when gamestop had them cheap to use for him or any future Dreadnoks.

Found a Zartan at Walgreens while hunting for Silver Surfer.

[Cyclopswc]

Opened the 2 Cobra Infantries, the CI Cobra Trooper has lighter skin complexion, so I swapped head with one of the Infantry since the Trooper has goggles that covers the eyes anyway. Also trimmed off the peg on the side of the assault rifles. I know it’s for storing the rifle on his back. For the trooper it makes sense since he came with 2 rifles, but for the infantry it just looks bad.

[Robb]

Keep watching Wal-mart.com the troopers keep showing un at $19.99. I placed a couple orders and got one today more coming tomorrow.

Nice find on the infantries. These (and Zartan) are not supposed to be hard to find, but yet, they are still. The supply have yet to meet the demands. I got my 3 from BBTS, got one more ordered from Hasbro and 2 from Amazon, all of them are delayed.

I need a little help :9

I just got Scarlet out of her box, but her left leg won’t bend at the hip.
When I tried to rise her leg, I felt something odd, and actually it’s the axis that twisted(but didn’t broke), not the joint.... does it happened to anyone else? Should I retry after putting her in hot water?

Thanks

In general, boiling water fix all joints problems. Without actually seeing the problem, I hesitate to offer a solution, my Scarlet was just fine. Maybe you'll have better luck asking at the sister site Hisstank.com

Found 3 more Red Ninjas and have 2 more Vipers on the way.

Walked into a Gamestop today I haven't been to in over and year and here is what I see:



All those figures and the only GI Joe they have in there is one lone Gung-Ho. WTF Hasbro?????

Damn, my local Gamestop down-scaled their toy/collectible section from the entire back corner of the store to just three little half-walls that unofficially designate the checkout line so trying to look them over while anyone else is trying to shop is awkward at best.

Holy hell! No gamestop in my area looks like that. The just have a lil rollaway wire rack for new stuff and another for clearance shit.

[jwyss234]

Dang, that Gamestop has more figures than most of the Walmarts and Targets I hunt at.

That’s the best stocked GameStop I’ve ever seen. Not their fault Hasbro didn’t make enough of the GI Joe line. I haven’t seen one on the shelf anywhere in several months.

That said, Pulse sent my extra Supreme CC and GameStop has 3 more Infantry on the way.
