I don't have vivid memories of the music video,.and I am notoriously awful at grasping the words being sung as well as comprehending the message of the song in most cases unless I listen to the song many many many times, BUT... That actually helps me comprehend it a little better now.
 
I've never NOT been street-dated when I've found a figure at Target before the preorder ships, but if he's showing up on shelves already hopefully this means he won't be hard to find. I couldn't remember if I missed the preorder or not but I did manage to get one. Hopefully this means they'll start shipping soon.

I know this isn't what you said, but now I imagine you arguing with a clerk about a figure that's been on the peg for months. Maybe even clearanced already, but they still won't let you buy it.

Might as well have. I've been street-dated for MOTU figures I know for a fact nobody was going to buy.

Because I like my Joes to be specialists and reserve the nameless faceless fodder for Cobra, I named my HALO Jumper "Free Fall."

I had that idea at first (though I was gonna make it "Freefall" like the Gen13 character), then checked the Joe Wiki to see if it was already an established character, and sure as shit, he's from a neighboring town from where I've spent most of my life!!

Free Fall

Free Fall is a G.I. Joe character from the A Real American Hero series. Though the filecard parses his name as two words (Free Fall), it's often presented in other locations as one (Freefall). Working name was "Jumpmaster." Write up

Wish MY fucking Ollie's would get in good shit like Joes. I could use another Sniper to use the other head/hands...

Yeah, Freefall was one of my favorites. I always liked the Joes with helmets. You could equip with a helmet and face mask.

Just got a shipping notification and tracking for my Classified Cobra Rattler. I didn't expect this until several more months given Hasbro's track record with these things.
 
Target is kinda on my shit list at the moment. I called on Tuesday to ask about Breaker using the DPCI number , and talked to a really great guy who told me that theh were going to recieve 8 of them on Thursday, and that if I couldn't make it in to call, and that someone would put one aside for me. Super cool, very pleasant. So I took the morning off so I could be there when they opened.

Then Thursday happened. Went to Target, waited with the Pokémon dudes for a few until they opened. Of course there was no.Breaker on the shelf, so I went to customer service, where I explained the situation to the manager. He confirmed that they had received them, but refused to sell one. Now, I understand if he didn't want to break the street date, even though his employee told me that there wouldn't be an issue, but I was/am pretty irritated that he refused to hold one for me. I know it's policy as a rule, but I lost half a day of work to go and spend money at their store. Complete lack of concern on his part, and he had zero interest in helping in any way. So now I get to get up early on my day off and hope for the best. Annoying AF. I wouldn't be upset if I hadn't been assured earlier in the week that it wouldn't be an issue.

Anyways, there's my latest Target story. Do you guys n gals think there will be anything else out that day? MASS device Snake Eyes and Polar Bear? MASS device divers? I found the Frag Viper wave there a couple weeks ago, so I'm good until the Monkeywrench wave.
 
Got my Darklon and Footloose from Pulse the other day, and unfortunately Darklon had the same issue my Torch had a while back, his left elbow piece was made with the soft plastic instead of the hard plastic it should be made of, so I had to put in a ticket with consumer care. Luckily, Hasbro has great customer service and they're sending me a new Darklon. I'll most likely be cannibilizing the janky one for weapons for my Legends Punisher, as I did with Torch's weapons, and the rest of him will go on ebay as fodder. Hate to see these mistakes in such a great toy line, but glad that their customer service is so top notch.
 
The Leatherneck I ordered from Amazon was a used one, but he came with all the accessories swapped out for other weapons. Even his belt was gone, and he had some lady hands from a Marvel Legends figure. They'll refund with no fuss but it's a bit of a bummer and also a bit amusing. But I don't know that I'll try for another before November. Can't wait to see what the Mindbender I ordered comes with.

Maybe he will come with a full shirt.

I GOT MY RATTLER SHIPPING NOTICE.

I’m excited and terrified. I don’t think I told my wife I got it. Ah well. That’s a problem for future me.
