Re: G.I. Joe Classified Series 6 inch discussion

I was really excited for this line but I am finding I am losing interest. I already paid way to much for all the cobra island stuff. I don't really want to keep paying scalper prices every time something is released. I have the cobra high command now and snake eyes. I might call it a day at that

I just returned from my local TRU and there were 6 Cobra Island Roadblocks, so unless he is shipping in solid cases, I missed out on Beachhead and Cobra Trooper. At least I know they are steadily receiving the line. I grabbed Baroness last week.

I feel like this as well. I have both versions of Snake Eyes, a complete first wave, Cobra Commander and Baroness. With orders being cancelled, releases being sold out seconds after they go up for sale online, limited releases or exclusives... I can't imagine anyone not living in a major city having a shot at this line. Meanwhile, I see dozens and dozens of peg-warming SW Black Series from the recent films. New stuff! No one buys it, or at least only figures from Mando, various exclusives, but the film stuff? It is just sitting there. The recent Sith trooper, Mountain trooper, 12 each this afternoon. It would be great if we could see such numbers for Joes.

That's how it is in the states so likely here then as well, which I was wondering.

I know what you mean and what's worse is they have a lot more cobra island releases on deck. Rumors of a major bludd popping up in the target system. So I really hope the supply gets better down the line. It may be slow because of the current state of the world but I'm always walking out of toys r us empty handed looking for cobra island. On the upside its toys r us, so even leaving empty handed you feel good just from being in that store.

So true! I try to bring one of my kids with me when I can so they don't think I'm some weird guy scoping out kids or something. I try to go weekly, sometimes 2-3x/week during a heavy shipping/receiving month. This should be the case from now through December barring world collapse, lockdowns etc. Amazon just built a second massive warehouse outside of Ottawa, presumably to deal with demand (and they just finished the small-town-sized one last year) and perhaps with drone delivery. Regardless, I don't want to have to depend on Amazon for anything toy related.

Do not put faith into Amazon preorders. Make sure you have a back up plan. Also..$3 price increase. Booo!

I broke with my religious views against pre ordering and put one in at EB for those two.
