Hoping I can find Steeler and Short Fuze at Target eventually since I missed the preorder and couldn't find them on Sunday.

Same here. Sundays are busy so forgot all about them. Nothing in stores yet, but some divers are still hanging around my local spot so hopefully they'll be plentiful.
 
I'm sure some of you guys can relate to self imposed collecting restrictions because I didn't realize until this morning that Crazy Legs was an 87 figure, which means I actually DON'T need him which is $30 and a head swap that I don't need to worry about!

It's one of the reasons I haven't gotten ANY of the diver figures. They'd look out of place just standing on a shelf, and I'm not going to create some elaborate display for a couple figures that will shrink the overall display space.

I had the same policy, but had to get the Eel because I loved him as a kid and he was one of very first Joe figures I got on my own. Him and the Snow Serpent. I have him posed without the flippers, and in my head he just came out of the water with a submachine gun and knife in hand, sneaking onto a pier of tactical battle platform. And because I have him, I had to get a matching Joe and was happy to get Torpedo, whom I never had as a kid. He does have his flipped on, and is sitting on the edge of the shelf with his mask up on his forehead but he's holding it about to pull it down before he rolls forward to dive in.

But that's it! No more divers for me.
 
There's a clip in the end credits of the Sunbow show where Shipwreck is wearing the yellow diver wet suit. That helped me not regret the purchase of the set, which I mainly got for the MASS device elements. Now I just need a Shipwreck head to swap on.
 
Restrictions are my saving grace, my collection is already much bigger than I'd planned and could easily get away from me. No divers- probably gonna break that for Wet Suit, but he's it- no army building, no Cobra vehicles, no HasLabs, no Cobra La. Missing out on a lot of the goofy fun of this line, sure, but I also own a Vamp and an AWE Striker because Breaker came with the Ram. Way leads on to way and I am weak.
