G.I. Joe Classified Series 6 inch discussion

Oh dear. I feel lucky I got mine. Though same thing happened to me with Zarana. She did show up 3 weeks later.

Called my GameStop to find out where my preorder mindbender is. Turns out they are still shipping all this week. So with any luck we should be getting them this week. They also said they still have over 500 units in stock at their warehouse for preorders, so assume it will take some time to fulfill all the orders.

The Exclusive Zartans were the same. They short shipped in store pre orders but slowly rolled out over time.

Yeah and don't forget that Hasbro just recently posted more orders for Serpentor and Mindbender recently. I think that was the third time. So they most likely have a lot of stock for both, which may or may not show up again somewhere down the line even though they are supposedly "sold out."

I thought I might end up switching out Covergirl's head, but with her now in hand Im pretty happy with her Hasbro look.

Alt is Masterverse Teela

I hope this is the case. My store called to tell me they had some Marvel Legends come in but were waiting on my MB (they did receive a handful but I was further down the list). I lost out on Chopper from the Star Wars Black Series when I preordered through them. My store never saw a single preorder come through. I won't be as disappointed if Mindbender is a no show. That said, I feel safer with super small shoppes or BBTS at this point. Thus far, I've always had my preorders arrive eventually.

Amazon
Walmart
EB/Gamestop

they have each let me down at least once.

HOT DAMN!!!!


That Big Ben is ok, but really doesn't do much for me, but MAN-O-MAN that Range Viper is INCREDIBLE!!!!!!




EDIT:


OH CRAP, apparently these are the two Joe exclusives for this week during Walmart Collector Con in the States. GREAT.....now it's a real "hope and pray" situation that Walmart Canada gets them.

These look so good. I think four range vipers should be about right

Check my edit...........(directed at Walmart, not you)

So a couple things to add:


The Walmart exclusive notion came from Full Force Podcast who post just now on Youtube that they are Walmart exclusives. So he didn't specify they were the Collector Con exclusives, but since Walmart is not doing the Retro cards anymore, and Collector Con is coming in two days, it kind of makes sense.


However it looks like there is a new "rumour" list of figures that will be Walmart exclusives, according to Preternia. He, much like JTPrime, is pretty reliable for these types of things, and as such it could refer to the new theme for the Walmart exclusives. Here is what was listed:



Rumored Walmart Joe capsule collection:

F7736 GIJ CS Wes Eliot Range Viper
F7737 GIJ CS Wes Potter NF Big Ben
F7738 GIJ CS Wes Hugo NF Shooter
F7739 GIJ CS Wes Beaudelaire Alley Viper Redeco
F8378 GIJ CS Wes Flaubert "Zombie Viper"
F8379 GIJ CS Wes Milton Shadow Tracker
F8380 GIJ CS Wes Tennyson New Joe Character
F7740 GIJ CS Wes Chekhov NF Joe Redeco


So possibly Night Force versus a mashup of Cobra Troops.
