Ferret should be here tomorrow. I have no room for it already. It will be on the floor in front of the shelves. I still ordered a Stinger without hesitating. Space for that is a "Future Me" problem.
I did wind up ordering a second Trouble Bubble from the Power Days sale, just to achieve symmetry in my display. Picked up a Valkyrie pack along with it because I use the ones with gold accessories as the pilots. This resulted in me having another TeleViper, which breaks my recently established limit of ONE specialist, no more army building. I gave him the darker skin head and squeezed him into the display awkwardly. As is, I haven't even opened Buzzer and Ripper as I wait for Torch, but there is definitely no room in the shelf without removing figures. First to go will likely be older Cobra troops. I'd rather have unique characters represented than nameless grunts.
I hated to do it, but I had to move stuff to shelves in the room where I have my laundry, furnace, hot water heater, etc. My house isn't big enough for this type of collection and I'm headed into my 30th year as an adult collector.
I overlooked Pulse's "left the building" email for the Ferret. Thankfully they shipped FedEx instead of DHL like they did with the MMS. I would've been waiting until mid next week rather than this Friday.
Got the Ferret today, it’s just as nice as you’d expect, but I literally have no room for it. I’m going to have to do a culling of my other stuff very soon.
My Target lowered the clearance prices after one week. Mutt and Junkyard were $22.50 and Metal Head was $17.50. I wanted a second Mutt and Junkyard, so I bought at that price rather than risk waiting for another markdown.

Saw this go up for preorder and could not resist since it’s my most wanted vehicle.
Oh man Norm, don’t tempt me… $90? That’s gotta be around the cost Classified will sell that for. Maybe $75? ??? I love this vehicle! Lights. ABS plastic… ??? Oh what the hell!
Thwipp!
Ferret arrived and it is mid, as the kids say. I mean, it’s fine, just nothing special about it. I hate the missiles, and I may just remove them. It’s otherwise still pretty well armed. I like the biker helmet for the rider. It’s just not as exciting as the Vamp was.
Fans toys doing GI JOE vehicles? very interesting.

It's sort of a wash. Hasbro would probably do a Skyhawk for less, and include a figure to boot. However they won't do lights.
Fans Toys is a solid third party company so the quality should be there no problem. However much like with Transformers I am not big into third party anymore. Mostly due to Hasbro seemingly understanding their position in the market and trying harder to meet that demand. So I will tend to favour getting an official release if I think Hasbro is going to make it. If I don't think Hasbro will ever make an item then I will probably bite on the 3P offering. (If I want the item in question)
Any idea what this could be? Randomly came across it on Walmart: GIJ CS FIGURE GAMMA https://www.walmart.com/ip/208205164

If you click on the link the second and third pictures clearly show that its Xamot Paoli. So, it's the same figure that Ross has been selling for $5 for months that Wal Mart is still trying to sell you for $10.

Oops, should’ve looked closer.
I hadn't noticed until I saw it mentioned on the hisstank, but the instructions printed on the left side of the Ferret are misspelled "Missile Lauch". It's misspelled on the toy and back of the box. I would like to think I'd eventually notice, but how many sets of eyeballs at Hasbro missed it.
BBTS has Torch and Gnawgie processing soon.
