I understand the want to army-build - but with figures so hard to find as it is, have a little consideration to fellow collectors that are also out there looking

(not meant to be directed at you, specifically - some people go pretty crazy with Army-building)

To be sympathetic to us army builders it’s a bit of a mental illness

lol it's cool, I understand. I did some army-building with the 25th Anniversary line. That line was a lot easier to find figures for...

Maybe I am late to people mentioning anything but has any one found any of the Cobra Island figures at TRU?

they still don't seem to be up on the website, except for Baroness which is OOS

any one get lucky in the wild?

Yes they have shown up all over the place (including craigslist ). Never seen them myself, have looked a few times at TRUS.

I’ve gotten Baroness and Roadblock in store. Have not seen Beachhead or Cobra Trooper yet.

I would legitimately enjoy if they just put these on the website instead of a few assorted cases coming out.

This is how I feel, I am not in the mood to be running around to a select few TRU's to end up with nothing, I just would like them to put them up on the website (and not at a stupid time like 8:30 am, when I'm sleeping, so I can wake up to them being sold out like this Storm/T-Bird Legend 2pack)

also I guess nobody has gotten Arctic Storm Shadow from Amazon yet, it says he is arriving on the 7th, I have a bad feeling he is not.

I suspect You would never get them from website. eBay prices are so high and TRUS still has limits of 5, scalpers with bots will get them, at least the Cobra trooper for sure.

It's the early days. Much like the 25th/ME line the interest will die down eventually, then prices will drop.

As well, I'm pretty sure Hasbro will rerelease most of the figures down the line once the Target exclusivity deal ends.

Once a single carded Baroness comes out, as long as it is the same colour scheme, the coil version will most likely drop down closer to retail. The bike, in my opinion, is not really all that great. It is just the exclusivity that make me want it. If it was a regular release I would get one, but I wouldn't be in a rush. So far I have only paid full price for SS Cobra Commander, and Destro. Everything else from wave 1 and 2 (not exclusive CI stuff) I have paid less than the usual $29.99

I think they will eventually be released in regular waves in the future as well. Luckily they did the cobra trooper so quickly. But I'm wondering if these will go online. I spoke with a toys r us person and they told me the figures don't come with regular shipments they come special delivery and they usually only get a case and they sell out instantly. I missed one by a day they said they had them the day before. At target they get a case of 6 figures all the same character. I'm wondering if its the same here? I was lucky to score Baroness awhile back and with the upcoming trooper I'm content. The beachhead doesn't look all that great from photos. I'd still like to get one at retail if I can.
