Maybe he looked like a Timber like some people look like a Dan or Chuck?

BBTS presold all their Ferrets yesterday for $80.

That is wild to me. I had a chance to order it when it first went up on Hasbro Pulse, but it was just too much for what it is. And I'm fairly forgiving on price - the VAMP and Stinger, for example, feel like pretty solid values. I'm kinda floored people were willing to pay close to $90 after tax and shipping for the Ferret.

Some of the Ferrets were marked as non mint boxes too right? I don’t know how damaged those are but people were paying extra for damaged boxes and possibly scuffed up ferrets. I guess alot of people regretted not getting it on Pulse and jumped on BBTS offerings.

I saw the Ferret briefly on BBTS' front page as a separate picture from the other group of listings. I clicked on it because I really just wanted a second driver. Nope, not at that price.

You'd think Hasbro was losing money issuing the Ferret and TF Ferret considering how hard they are to buy for MSRP.

Yeah,  the Tiger Paw has been a bummer.    Missed the pre-order window and haven't seen a hint of it on a store shelf.   I'll keep looking, but it's been ludicrously hard to come by - and the secondary market prices are silly.

@ru1977 i did notice my Black Series buying went down and Classified went up - mostly because while I love both lines, Black Series has been doing a good job with reissues of characters we've had before but not as many new characters, and this line is just a feast of new characters. Hard to turn down characters who have never been at this scale or style before.

I don't know about others, but I didn't even get the chance to regret not buying them on Pulse. They sold out before I could get to them. Same with this BBTS offering.

Got the action marine sniper. I hope the continue with the sub-line with "somewhat realistic" troopers. Re-paint of the infantry soldier in different era uniform color schemes (think Nam era green, Cold War BDU, Gulf War chocolate chip DCU), 80's Navy SEAL on the Commando Snake Eyes buck, Air Force maintainer with busted knuckles, uniform pants soaked in JP8 fuel and hydro fluid, hopped up on energy drinks and jerky and you still have 4 hours left on your 12 hour shift. Lets do it Hasbro.

@docsilence for real! It's funny how blown my mind was at having Baroness and Zartan at that height. (Right now my collection is five figures, but way too many are gonna hit my porch in the next week).

@spongyblue Do you have NF Shooter?If so, can Shooter’s head fit on the sniper body?  Are the skin tones way off?

@red_ogre That is unfortunate. Hopefully, the Ferret does show up again somewhere. The Vamp made a small comeback a little while ago so maybe the Ferret will do the same.

@leor I saw pictures this morning showing the Sniper's head on Shooter's body.  It fits and the skin tone matches well.  The heads fit on Retro Scarlett too.  They don't fit well on Lady Jaye.

@vicious7171 Nice!  I was planning to put Shooter’s head on an extra sniper body so she can have a more traditional 014 uniform with green fatigues. The other head is just too much Scarlett to not be her so I’ll need another sniper body to display that head and be a second more traditional green 013 outfit for her.
