Same here because of being out for a family event.



Oh well, let's hope Gamestop gets an allotment of him like they did with Zartan. I am hopeful since they have the Retro Iron Man in their system, so maybe Serpentor will show up???


Fingers crossed.


Also considering what frenchleaf posted as his final cost ($120.89US or $167Cdn) I guess I can't be too upset just yet because I don't know that I could reasonably say that $167Cdn is even close to acceptable for 1 figure and 1 small vehicle.

Let's see... $80US = $111CAN roughly
add 13% taxes = 125.43

HasbroPulse shipping is $30US = $41.50CAN
= $166.93CAN

...wow. It's funny how it seemed "reasonable" when I heard it was $80US but factoring in taxes and shipping (and our very low Canadian dollar) really skyrockets that cost up to something that no longer seems so reasonable.

Red B.A.T., $36. Glad they weren't an exclusive.

Our dollar is so low it's in Mariana Trench right now.

I didn't realize how bad it was until I bought some Buffalo Sabres tickets recently.

I thought GI Joe wasn't ditching the windows on their stuff ?! Looking at the packaging there looks like they're joining the no plastic party.

It was announced some time ago. The Zarana wave is the last to include plastic.

Poop. Well that sucks...

I was bummed about missing out until I read this post. I love GI Joe and it is my favourite franchise from my youth but the treatment from Hasbro has been awful (for Classifieds and Canadians) and I have chosen to collect a selection only. That said, even though I was not a fan of Serpentor as a kid, he is iconic and the 6" looks great. I was hoping to snag one but reading your post was sobering. I am hoping Gamestop will get some in (vs TRU) and they can be had at a reasonable price.

HUZZAH!!!!!! And BOO!!!!!


Just got a call from my local GS manager, who is awesome.

He was giving me a heads up about PulseCon items in the system. Managed to get all the ML stuff I wanted and..........

SERPENTOR!!!!!!!!!!

HE IS IN THE SYSTEM.....GO, GO, GO!!!!!

He is listed under SERPENTOR so no need to have the upc.

He is $130 before edge discount.

The boo part is he let me know he is leaving for another job. NNNOOOO!!!!!! He was awesome and made getting product so easy. It is a shame he is leaving, but I am happy for him to move on to something better for him.
