I found Airborne on Amazon but none of the others from this wave. Did they just blow through their initial pre-order stock super fast or am i messing up my search? Need to order a couple more Tele-Vipers regardless.

tele-viper still hasn't been stocked afaik
Duke, Quick Kick, Recondo, 60th Action Infantry disappeared from Amazon, then later reappeared. Did someone pre-order 9,999 each then have Amazon invalidate or did Amazon get more to pre-sale?
I was hoping to order Retro Cobra Commander and Retro Cobra Eel.
@prophet I can't be certain re: Big Boa's size but I'm confident he's using the Gung Ho upper body and arms. So you can kind of assume he'll be around that size. My guess is he'll be closer in size to Gung Ho, Sarge, and v2 Roadblock rather than v1 Roadblock who is a little shorter than the rest. Even comparing box shots you can tell he's larger than average.
@canprime Yeah. So glad the retros are offered by everyone now. Walmart is the absolute worst for me when it comes to exclusives. Plus the earlier retro cards were just so flimsy that it felt like if you sneezed on it, the card would peel off the plastic bubble.
This round of offerings brought a huge smile to my face. I just hope the quality improves a lot by next year. Those gummy weapons are inexcusable. And I’m not sure if it hasn’t been mentioned lately, but it should be law that every figure’s accessories should be able to be carried on that figure in some way. Looking at you Buzzer! How can Ripper carry all his crap but Buzzer can’t? First world problems, I know. Lol.
First off, I got a shipping notice for my HISS Tank!!
Second, I pre ordered all the stuff offered today. For Classifieds, I try to only get characters from the 80's-90's RAH Classic toy line. Which was most of everything offered today. Except for those 2 60th Anniversary figures. They were just too cool to pass up, so I got x2 of the soldier, and 1 of the wet suit figures.
Who at Hasbro loves Nemesis Enforcer? I don’t mind that we’re getting him, I actually like that they’re not erasing some of the stranger characters like Raptor, but it seems like the rest of Cobra-La are rare to get but they make Nemesis Enforcer in most modern incarnations and not only do they make him, they get to him quickly. I don’t really feel like I need Golobulus or Pythona, though the Royal Guard could be interesting, but has there ever been a reason given why Nemesis seems to be a priority?
I was perfectly happy with my Classified Duke... was.
Nice stream. Very glad they confirmed Zandar is coming!
And Uber excited with how Retro Duke and Scarlett turned out. Now I'm 100% happy with both of them. The team really managed to make Scarlett's classic costume look even cooler. Lots of details. And she does look like an adult now. Super happy.
Damn, what a time to be a GI joe fan. gonna get Quicky and Big boa. the Cobra LA team is one of my fav., cant believe they are coming soon. Nemesis enforcer, hell yea!!!!!!!!
Wait, just noticed something. i dont like Big boa's head design. he should have like a buzz cut, look more meaner/more rough neck. still getting him though.
Just Airborne for me. He was a favorite as a kid (for reasons I don't remember), and they did a bang-up job on him.
My Joe interest started fading with Serpentor and was gone by the time we got to Cobra-La, but my son and I had fun at the recent G.I. Joe cartoon movie screening, so maybe there's a Nemesis in his future.
@justice Has anyone been to a Ross that is limiting purchase numbers?
I saw on Lyle's Figure Files stream yesterday that supposedly there have been reports of Ross limiting people to a certain number of figures per purchase (2 I think).
Just wondering if anyone has seen this in the wild?
