Who is the figure in full camo with a ton of accessories.  I'm buying it just for the .50 cal to give to Roadblock.  Finally getting rid of that tuning fork he came with!

Impressive showing for Classified. Too much to list, but I’m in for as much of it as I can afford. Highlights were the retro Duke, Scarlett, Recondo, Dreadnoks, Boa, QK, Techno Viper. Still hoping for Alpine and Footloose soon.

@yojoebro82 I believe he is a generic 60th anniversary figure.  Action Soldier?  I'm just going by what I've heard online because I fast forward through the presentation on mute.  I also heard Emily wanted to flock the heads.  I'm not sure if that's true.

Amazon informed me I saved $1.25 on the Low-Light and  Crimson Viper they shipped

Cool cool.  I'm getting a real Action Force vibe off of this figure.  Personally I am liking what's going on with both GI Joe and Action Force these days.  I feel the two lines are complementing each other very well and both seem to be doing their best work.  These GI Joe reveals from Pulse con once again stole the show my a mile.  It's a good time to be a 6" military adventure collector.

You are now banned from Hisstank. There can be only one!

Action Soldier is an attack on Bobby Vala ... and the Metal-Head helmet, too! The discussion over there is getting downright insane. Once again, thank god Fwoosh is back.

There's a whole lot to look forward to with both lines.

Don't forget that one person who can't help but turn every single thread into a conversation about Zander and Zaranna being recognized as twins, and not just Zartans siblings.

 

And I would totally be down for Adventure Team/Action Force type figures sprinkled in here and there. It would probably work best if they weren't a named character, just make them a general trooper like those upcoming 60th figs.

 

Which makes me wonder, could a Joe Colton be under-wraps for the 60th? I think it would be appropriate, but I get it if he isn't.

You gotta be a member to be banned.  I'll let other keyboard warriors and youtubers churn up drama, none of that is going on my toy shelf.  I'm just looking at the final product from both companies and seeing a lot of good stuff.

I made a couple attempts at local Targets to find a half-price Grunt, but no luck.   After that, I figured my time and energy was worth more than $12.

@fletch My local stores got him on Saturday and Sunday.  I looked at two of them, neither had them out.  I asked a guy at one of the stores because he was nearby stocking toys, but he said Oct 1 set date.

Amazon shipped Grunt today at a $1.25 off.  Notice they didn't match Target's online price?  The algorithm knew that price was nuts.  I have Viper, Grunt, and Low-Light coming from Amazon.  Low-Light and Firefly are in the POL.  I was waiting on the other figures, but I might as well ship it to get Firefly and keep the others waiting for whenever they reach BBTS.

Walmart canceled my Big Ben pre-order, even though he was in stock...

Oh well, I just ordered a new one and he already shipped.

Walmart is also trying to ship my Range Vipers, so hopefully they come through.

Yeah, it looks like the Range Vipers and Big Ben will be here by Wednesday to add to the recent onslaught of Joes.

Tunnel Rat and Low-Light showed up from Amazon yesterday — a few days after the Grunts I was lucky enough to get on Target's site, as well as the Trouble Bubble and Snow Job from Pulse.

I didn't order these all at once ...

Big Ben shipped to hit on Wednesday.  Range Viper processing.  Fingers crossed!

I think some people placed target.com orders at $11.99.  I wonder if he has been going in and out of stock too fast on Target.com for Amazon to make adjustments to their price?  I was hoping Amazon would catch Target's price and automatically lower my preorder and lock it in at $11.99.  I'm just speculating on how I thought Amazon operates.

I was able to snag 4 Grunts at the $11.99 price. He does pop in and out of stock frequently. I normally have Target notify me when he is in stock. By the time you get notified Grunt will most likely be unavailable again, but that's when it starts doing the in-stock dance so it's a good alert to start stalking it.

Not sure how Amazon does price matching but Grunt not frequently being available definitely hinders a price match. I do know there is a Would you like to tell us about a lower price? link on the product page, under Feedback, to submit lower prices. But again, It's based on availability.

Good luck.
