That annoys me a little. I bought one off ebay not long ago for a reasonable price, but it was still more then retail. If I knew bbts was gonna get her in again I would've waited.

I didn't know she was hard to come by.   I figured she was destined to hit discount the way Lady Jaye and Zarana and other females from this line seem to.

She’s 30.99 so it’s more than retail but not outrageously so.

Cover Girl has been low key hard to find for about a year now hasn’t she?  Like Outback?  If you have Amazon Prime, she’s 31.99 over there from third party.

Apparently.  I haven't followed, I guess.   I got the one - and then after the initial surge I got one cheap (like 17.99) for future fodder and never looked again.    Glad to see that not all the ladies hit the discount rack.

Yea I just noticed the price. That's about what I paid so I'm not as upset now.

Speaking of Cover Girl, @trunks3540 I snapped a few pics of that bicep issue I mentioned. I don't want to intentionally pull the whole arm off but if you look at these, there's a gap in both arms that doesn't want to stay closed, as if the rest of the arm is too heavy for the socket. Similar thing happens with Zarana but only her left arm.

So mine doesn't have that problem. You'd have to pull the arms off to figure out why, but it looks like either the holes weren't deep enough or the peg is too long. Both of those are fixable. It's odd that it happened cause that's not something I've seen before.

@trunks3540 I can actually push them all the way in - they drop out like they do in those pics under their own weight (if I put her shotgun in hand they pop right out). I think the lip of the peg isn't as wide as it's supposed to be so it's just loose in both arms.

Ref: Gnawgahyde - 4 Targets.  2 out of stock, 1 not clearanced, but I snagged the last one at store 4.  I'm a little bummed his background was the Cobra insignia instead of Dreadnoks.  Glad to get the set so soon at this price.  Now I have to dig my others out to get them together.  Might as well keep them out for Road Pig.

Ref: Cover Girl - Her and Bludd are the only figures from the entire line I've never seen in-store.  Still don't have her, but have heard she has been popping up in various places.

Once a man Coco listing on Pulse seems to have disappeared. Heard he popped as available on the site a day ago at like 3am in the morning something. I wonder if the disappearance of the listing might mean he will be available for preorder again at Pulsecon  week? I have no idea but hopefully that is the case. Still want to get this guy in the collection and still not wanting to put scalper prices for it.

@docsilence ok. So, if you pulled the arms off and tightened the pegs it should fix the issue, either way you do it. I would recommend putting the glue inside the arm, then putting a push pin or a paper clip in there to clean it out a bit and move the glue around the edges. You don't want it to be too thick though, cause if it's too tight, you could rip the pegs off the shoulders when you try to swivel them. But either way will work, just feels safer to do it in the hole. Whether it is or not I'm not sure, but I would do the hole. I use locktite liquid. It dries well, it's easy to use, and not too expensive. For joint tightening I haven't really used anything else, cause when something works, why change it? Lol. Make sure it's completely dry before reassembling.

Loctite liquid is my super glue of choice for toys too, works great with plastics

Thanks for the recommendations for tacics. I use Loctite for assembling minis when I'm painting so I always have a spare bottle around. Hopefully this fixes it without my accidentally freezing her arm in place.

welp, Falcon/Quarrel pack was delayed at Walmart.  Out of four pre-orders I have on there, only one has actually shipped on time in the past six months while the rest keep getting pushed back.  As long as I get them I don't mind waiting (although getting things late sucks if QC is bad and they become hard to replace), but I don't trust WM one bit.
