I ordered a Stinger from CMD this morning, you know what that means?  Processing soon from BBTS.  I planned to keep the BBTS preorder, but thought I had 3 to 4 weeks.  I was surprised Pulse had the date at 8/19  when I just canceled a few minutes ago.  Also had to cancel with Amazon.  My preferred scenario would've been BBTS this week and Amazon in September.

So I was able to get an in store preorder for CC at my local Gamestop (Ottawa, Canada).   Also did a Death's Head through them.  

The manager told me they are expecting CC first and some time in October.   So there may be a bit of a wait for those of us who got CC yesterday through Pulse.

Received an e-mail from Pulse this morning that my CC and Death's Head shipped. Pleasant surprise.

Ha!  I received an awesome email from Pulse just a few moments ago reminding me to make a decision about purchasing the Once A Man Cobra Commander that’s still apparently in my cart. There was obviously nothing in my cart but I do appreciate the tease. 

I just showed Hasbro how frustrated I am with missing out on Cobra Commander by selling off my entire GI Joe collection.

Just kidding but I did back the Rattler just now. That'll show em.

Went to target for thrills. Seen the 2 pack of tiger force. Almost got it full price for parts. But then stopped myself cause there's so many there that these will be hitting clearance soon and off to ross and the half off store and sprinkled into bin stores. 

@unclassified see,  that's when you pick up the extra sets for customizing.... or is that just me?

Gotta love getting the "got your eye on something?" email from Pulse about Cobra Commander after three days of trying to get the figure. Yep, had my eye on it, but not my wallet, man... 

@docsilence That email is such a cruel joke. It even makes you think that the item may have suddenly appeared in your cart too. And so you check the website and your account with a little bit of hope. Then harsh reality hits you with an empty cart. Somebody at Hasbro has a crooked sense of humor. Heh.

I don't think that's how that works lol.

I am wondering why the Joe exclusive was the really hard one to get. Even Darth Maul hung around a bit after the restocks. And I honestly haven't checked, but he may still be up. No offense to GI Joe, but I didn't think this would be more popular then a new bodied Darth Maul with a speeder and soft goods.

It's up.right now. I have off today and got up to go to the bathroom and was like ah what the hell, let's check. Just got 2. I wouldn't get 5 . I have a feeling these won't be what people want them to be worth.  And don't think fast profit is gonna happen from jow til these are.common.

This is obviously Hasbro's revenge for not buying up the Crimson Strike Team 🤑.  I've never seen the GI Joe movie, I was more of a Marvel Comics Joe fan, but I wouldn't have minded this CC.  He seems like a decent price point for what I assume is a major point in the movie.  I would be ticked off right now if I was a completist and I'm disappointed Hasbro appears to be going back to the pre COVID, Hasbro Toy Shop days.  I found those days to be annoying AF.  I had to buy my Skystriker Starscream off eBay.

YMMV but: the butthurt of newer collectors over missing out on an SDCC exclusive seems a tad excessive. Especially such a wack-a$$ choice. I just re-watched the movie, and this CC figure is seriously not worth all the anguish.

All the "I was once a faaaan!", YouTube videos on my feed 🤣 Everyone thought they came up with a clever title.

I just paid for a Stinger two days in a row.  I'm looking forward to it, but my impatience got me on this one. I quickly hit the ship POL button.
