Congrats! I found 1 yesterday thanks to the assistance of 2 fellow collectors.

I know this is a long shot but if anyone has 2 extra bludds or maybe able to get them in your area I am looking for myself and a co-worker. My target as of 20 minutes ago had the clone wars figures I can buy 2 and swap for 2. Like I said I know it is along shot but I wanted to put it out there.

Just got back into figure collecting after I saw these a couple weeks back. UGH, another line of dealing with Target and I am super late to the game.

Dropped by yesterday and an employee who was stocking checked and said they had 6 figures coming in today. All of the pegs have the Bludd DPCI code. He suggested I stop back first thing this morning and ask someone if there is nothing on the pegs. He mentioned that he has talked to a LOT of collectors who are having issues finding these and that he was surprised how poorly they are being stocked.

The guy this morning confirmed the 6 count and found a case but it was the 2xFlint, 2xJaye, 2xCC case. The hunt continues...

I have actually never seen Flint or Lady Jaye in stores, only the left over Cobra Commanders.

I was tempted to stop back in during lunch and see if they were still there. They have had nothing but 2 of the revised Roadblock figures for the last 2 weeks.

I went by a different location at lunch and the lady there told me they had 6 Major Bludd on 5/18 and they were gone same day. She also advised they are doing a total refresh in that area starting on 5/30 so they are expecting to see more...even though none are listed in their system as on the way.

I received Lady Jaye from Dorkside today. After reading some of the comments on here, I made sure to heat up both elbows before moving them. Everything went smoothly with the left elbow but the lower joint on the right elbow gave me a little trouble. Before the plastic cooled, I pushed a dental pick into the joint to make sure that whatever was sticking finally released. I was finally able to get the joint to move after that. The plastic has finally cooled down and things are still working smoothly.

Its sad that at what hasbro charges for figs we still have to fix their damn qc issues. They should be more on the ball with their figs.

I've been fixing QC issues on my figs since the DCUC days. This isn't uncharted territory for me.

Just got home from my local Walmart and they had tons of these and the smaller scale in stock. Seems they are gearing up for a push with Snake Eyes movie.

Me too. Its just sad that we have to is all.

If I ever find any Classified Joes I am going to try and just leave them all MIB/MOC. I hope they keep the box packaging design it bugs me that SW Black Series changed it slightly with one side. One of my biggest collecting regrets was not keeping all my MU MOC/MIB even though I tried to do so at first, but got like halfway through before just opening everything up one day.

Aaaand Target canceled my Lady Jaye. Good thing my good friend JCarterVA hooked me up with one. So at least I'd have 1. Now I need 1 to open, let's see if Amazon will come through, or if Amazon will cancel me too.

They probably will. Bigbadtoystore.com has Lady J up for your extra 1.

My Amazon order's ship date just got moved UP. That's a good sign.

Updating shelves - 1 for Cobra and another for the Joes
 

Did some rearranging on my figure shelves. Took down some DC figures and gave Cobra their own shelf. Added a figure from A-Force to the Joe shelf as I have no place to put her on any of my Marvel shelves. Was able to fit a few vehicles on each shelf. If Hasbro or a couple of our fellow collectors with 3D printers make affordable vehicles, I have no idea where to put them...

What head is that?

It's the MCU Hope Van Dyne (Wasp) sculpt from Marvel Legends. Skin tones are a perfect match and both Lady Jaye hair pieces fit with no modifications to the head sculpt. The Hope head does have a slightly larger balljoint compared to the Lady Jaye neckpeg, but the difference is so marginal that it's a pretty simple fix.

First thing I did with LadyJ was swap her head out- Hasbro really missed on that one

Hasbro didn't miss exactly. The Classified Lady Jaye head is supposed to look like Mary McDonald-Lewis. She is the person who did the voice for Lady Jaye in the cartoon.
Whether people LIKE the headsculpt is definitely up for debate, but Hasbro nailed what they were going for.

Well regardless of what they went for- swapping her head seems to be the go-to. In fact, other than you I haven't talked with anyone that thinks the Lady J head looks good. So that's a miss. But I'm glad you like it and don't need any mods

Looks like Bludd dropped on Target's site last night and sold out immediately.
