Always kinds of irks me when the pound price is the same numerical value as the dollars price. I mean, I guess there's factors with tax and import and bla blah. $299.99 is (currently) £249.38. So for those reasons and such UK folk got to pay the extra £50 on the advertised US price. Or something. I just like it when I've somehow bought stuff online cheaper from the US (including shipping costs) than the price it costs to simply buy it here in the UK. Of course if everyone did that then the retailers would probably pull out of the UK market then... I dunno. Annoying thing is I don't even want the tank that much, I just think that's a sweet Cobra Commander figure. lol

Thing of it is this was somewhat expected, as the first tiers pretty much filled out the tank with everything you might want and having CC himself will complete the classic HISS box art.
Stuff like a smaller vehicle to pull would have been cool, but really now that this has been so successful, Hasbro should take the opportunity to try pushing for something like that at retail. |

I was fully expecting that last reveal to be a battle armor cobra commander.

I hope the Battle Armor CC is a regular retail release... that's the only Classified CC that I plan on buying. I skipped the 25th version, but always liked the look of CC in his Battle Armor from the cartoon.

The Battle Armored version isn't Cobra Commander though, it's Fred.

If anyone is looking for additional Infantry, Dorkside has them listed at $24.99.

Funny enough, I don't come across the regular troopers like I do with the AVs and BATs. All of those were bought online. AVs and BATS I had to limit myself due to how many I kept finding in a store for a while. Thankfully, my army builders for Cobra are only the troopers/officers, Alley Vipers, BATs, Vipers, and Crimson Guards, so I'm pretty much set. I'm sure Hasbro will try to entice me to get Snow Serpents and Eels when they show them off, but I'm going to have to be strong because they just don't have a place in my collection.

I am keenly aware of and sympathize with the space limitations. All of my recent additions are immediately joining other figures in boxes and are bound for my storage locker while I attempt to bring some semblance of order to the chaos of my apartment.

Well I managed to pick up 3 new detolfs last night at IKEA. The bastards upped the price to $100 a piece though, otherwise I would have grabbed 4 of them. Can't wait until we get to our new apartment so I can set everything up again. Now GI Joe will have its own case, two shelves for Joes, two for Cobra.

Best of luck if you dive into house hunting. The market here was horrible before COVID and has only worsened since. I have been searching since December of 2020 and have lost around 30 offers thus far.
As for a new finance waste, 3D printing should suffice. |

Yep. My wife and I tried to get a house over the summer, but it wasn't happening. We didn't get a loan approved for a high enough rate to buy something somewhere that wasn't in a poor neighborhood 2 hours away from where we work on top of something that matched the cost. There were houses that were as big as our current apartment we're moving from due to how much we have outgrown it, but home owners wante $450K for those, if not more.

Funny you mention 3d printing, actually. I've spent the past couple of months learning to model (no interest in printing others' work), and researching resin printers/materials, etc. I'm one of those project/art guys, so naturally, I've been chomping at the bit to dig into 3d printing for ages. |

When did he go up for sale? I never got an email from Pulse about him, just some stupid Nerf gun today. In fact, he's not even showing up on the Pulse site when I go under NEW.

Apparently we're still looking hopeful:

Hi friends! Coming to you live from #sdcc to address another Dr. Mindbender rumor! I’ve gotten a lot of questions about why Mindbender is already sold out on @hasbropulse . Great news - he isn’t actually sold out! We are spreading the inventory out over the entire convention and have a limited about of items that are available for pre-order each day. So that means that at roughly 9 am Pacific time for the next four days, we’ll be releasing more quantities so everyone can get their orders in �� don’t despair - just check back in the morning!
