G.I. Joe Classified Series

I think the Ghost Viper is and the Short Fuze/Steeler set is Target.

Yeah that was my read from the debut.

 

[Felonious Monk]

Just saw Snake and Monkeywrench at 2 Targets. Been years since my locals had something at the same time as other areas.

 

[WrathofTaco]

Puke. Can't wait for the pair I'll be pre-ordering to be canceled. Maybe I'll order them separately so my cancelation bonus is doubled

 

[TENIME]

Cool, so instead of 5 Ghost Vipers, I'm going to end up with 0.

Thanks, Hasblow.

 

[vicious]

I definitely can't afford it right now, so I definitely hope they're preorders, but I want FIVE GVs (one for each head, and one for Crystal Ball's Cthulhu head), lol...

Oh my god this is the way, isn't it. Oh no. My wallet.

Shame his armory sucks. Including those awful CI Trooper guns with the pegs on the side is almost like trolling us.

Thank god he comes with a green tube and BBQ's gun (i believe!). Tubes save the day.

Imagine though, your wolf viper has FIVE wolves, your cobra head viper has FIVE vipers, gonna be a wild shelf. Where's the mini Cthulhus?

I'm also imagining the email from Walmart that items in my order have been cancelled.

 

[AceofKnaves]

Yeah, I’m going for ten.

 

[TENIME]

Even if I can get an order in, and they don't cancel it, I can't afford the preauthorization they didn't used to fucking do.

I can't float $125 for two weeks, and they sure as shit won't be $25 a piece.

If they're $45, that's $225 I have to come up with before they're even ready to ship. That's not going to happen with my current financial situation. (JESUS FUCKING CHRIST, SOMEBODY FUCKING BUY MY GODDAMN HOT TOYS DEADPOOL...sigh)

 

[WrathofTaco]

I forgot about the friggin' card nonsense they've been doing. I might just have to bow out, but the FOMO is strong with these guys. GHOST WOLVES. Only Walmart could ruin something that cool.

 

[Ru1977]

Well... pre-orders seem to be pointless if they cancel them just to put the figures on the shelf anyway.

 

[WrathofTaco]

Here in the future we pay to enjoy the idea of possibly owning the silly little plastic man.

Well... pre-orders seem to be pointless if they cancel them just to put the figures on the shelf anyway.

Just not enough shelves (and nowhere in the Chicagoland area) to either satisfy demand, let alone make a profit your precious shareholders happy. It is baffling that so many fucking companies are so fucking greedy, and yet are content just making the bare minimum by limiting products.

You joke, but NECA definitely tried, and McFarlane is still trying, to sell "digital" action figures...

 

[WrathofTaco]

I wish for this to be a lie. Digital action figures? In exchange for actual people money?

It's only fair to pay for that with counterfeit money.

This is the dumbest goddam timeline.
