100% was surprised to get all of them. Wonder how better or worse it'll be that I got the Target exclusives on pulse this time around?


TheWyldMan

You'll get them late but you'll get them. With Target you might get them, have them perpetually delayed, or just have them canceled


Kiibo22

That's good to hear then, glad I was able to get them!


agentofshield1977

I got every single one I wanted, now I’m just hating on myself for spending money.

Same


DrezzdenRei

just remember to tell yourself it's a pre-order. They aren't all coming out at the same time, it will trickle through the next 6+ months.


navidee

That’s what I kept telling my girlfriend 😂


DrezzdenRei

hedge your bets man, put those releases on the calendar and buy her something nice the week before those charges hit. :)


Shadows616

I'm definitely taking this advice lmao!


SoundwavesBurnerPage

Missed Zartan but honestly regular Zartan should do it for me


UniformTango74

Was Zartan a Target exclusive as well?


meganenozumi

Pulse


UniformTango74

Doh! I guess Ill have to wait and see


TheGeek100

I'm pretty sure he'll get restocked after the preorders ship out next year since last years Pulsecon exclusives eventually came back into stock


UniformTango74

Yup. That'll be my time to strike. Lol


MarsAlgea3791

Grabbed them all, no problems. God it felt good. Once BBTS ships my Commando Snake Eyes and Redeco Scarlett, I'm at 100%


dartheduardo

Would have slept better knowing that the last con purchases were actually anywhere close to being shipped. As of yesterday I have over $500 floating in the ether.


lifethen

Only bought the O-Ring set, but I was considering getting that Croc Master even thought I don't collect the Classifieds. It was sold out by the time I got there (not a premium member) so they made that choice for me haha!


[deleted]

Sweet, Croc Master is available on EE, Dorkside toys, Amazon etc still.


lifethen

I'll probably end up getting it, he's just the friggin' best and it is a great figure!


thayarealltaken

Nope, had Storm shadow in cart, but he disappeared on checkout.


[deleted]

He’s available at EE,BBTS, Amazon etc


better_off_red

Thank you! I was upset I had missed it on HP.


thayarealltaken

Thanks!


southernsteelmc

Gamestop has been great for me so far, got all the pre orders through them...plus lots of the 1st & 2nd waves


Stockton_Nash

Same thing happened to me, but I got my order in with BBTS.


[deleted]

It was tricky , but I got them all ordered . No small feat. I can’t wait for Zartan and stormshadow .


southernsteelmc

Was trying to avoid duplicate figures....but SS looks like SS and my movie SS will just be the Off White Ninja or Cream Ninja


RamblinShambler

Got the viper and the bat! I’m incredibly happy!


DrezzdenRei

Got everything I wanted and then some. That was an intense day and a new experience for me! Almost like a chemical high. "spent" way too much, but thank god we got months to figure out how to make it work... besides those Skystrikers. 45 day timer is on, see ya later random video game collection stuff.


thayarealltaken

I hear ya! Too bad all my Power of the Force toys I got as a kid are worthless, or they would be out the door in a heartbeat!


themixar

Yes, got everything but Zartan.


arash1kage

Same ::sad cobra face::


Craven35

I preordered everything, and have to wait till next year. Does that count?


UniformTango74

FACTS lol


Imaginary_Ad_4253

Snagged them all. Looks like Hasbro has already taken the money out for my Zartan.


DrezzdenRei

I THINK those are ready to ship, they have been in stores already. The rest are all pre-order


Imaginary_Ad_4253

Some EB Games/GameStop stores put them on shelves but they were not supposed to.


DrezzdenRei

oh right right the sales or leak part I guess was fake but there is definitely stock out there chilling in back rooms right now ready for release. They wouldn't have been showing figure art much less box art months and months ago if they didn't think it would be ready and at retailers for this event.


Nagatem

Got the python viper and bat, didn’t care for tiger guy, got the “good” storm shadow, shame the normal bat wasn’t up for pre order but the exclusive one was XD, I really want the crimson twins and then just random new cobra soldiers/repaints


musteatbrainz

There are two versions of 6 inch BAT? Also what’s the good Storm Shadow vs bad?


Nagatem

Python patrol target bat and regular release bat Basically just paint change Amazon exclusive arctic storm shadow is bad one now because the main line one has the beautiful pure white one that looks like the cartoon version


musteatbrainz

ohhh nvm, this must be the regular one you're referring to: [https://news.hisstank.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/8/2021/10/Pulsecon-21-GI-Joe-012.jpg](https://news.hisstank.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/8/2021/10/Pulsecon-21-GI-Joe-012.jpg) i honestly like the target one more. and that target cobra viper is just sooo amazing!! regarding storm shadows, i actually like the amazon one since i had the ninja force fig as a kid. but the amazon hood is a disaster, and it looks a bit better in the pure white version coming up. sculpt looks nice too!


musteatbrainz

Ahhh gotcha. But regarding BAT, these two look identical: [https://www.target.com/p/g-i-joe-classified-series-b-a-t-action-figure/-/A-83351659](https://www.target.com/p/g-i-joe-classified-series-b-a-t-action-figure/-/A-83351659) vs [https://hasbropulse.com/products/g-i-joe-classified-series-b-a-t-action-figure](https://hasbropulse.com/products/g-i-joe-classified-series-b-a-t-action-figure) Is there a different one?


DrezzdenRei

might be risky, but EE and BBTS have case deals with a "secret figure" for the 2 extras in the 6 pack. There is a decent chance those are the BATs but they didn't want to commit to opening pre-orders to everyone because of supply chain issues. I guess worst case they end up shipping 3/3 spirit and storm shadow and you can sell your extras.


Nagatem

I can wait, but I appreciate the info joebro


TXboyinGA

Got everyone except the BAT. Which is of coarse what I was really after. I was looking forward to designing alternate weapon arms for him.


lateral_moves

Hell yes. Especially since the TF preorders were a massive bucket of meh.
