Anyone got the Once a man CC? With the limit of 5/customer, it sold quit. I never had a chance. Now there are many on eBay already.

I got one from Pulse.

Then a bit later apparently he went up on Gamestop.ca (sold out already).

So I'm going to try in store preorder later today to see if I can snag another one just in case Pulse has issues.

So I went in to my local Gamestop and preordered CC.

The manager told me they are expected to get him in October.

Thanks man!!

I did like you yesterday and made my preorder at my local Gamestop. So easy, no need to pay premium eBay prices.

That was a disaster for Hasbro - Why the limit of 5? if they new they only had a limited amount.  I will yell at the clouds some more, but I hate exclusives.

An another note, the stinger is amazing, love what they did with it and the repaint of the driver.

Nice review of Once a man CC

Got a confirmation email from Pulse that my OAM Cobra Commander that I managed to order on August 6th has left the building.

So I have one coming for sure now and one on preorder at Gamestop. 

Can't wait to see this thing in hand.   All the reviews I have seen really talk up how great the lenticular box is in person.

And just got a call from my local Gamestop that my Stinger has arrived for in store pick up.

Nope, it is terrible!!!!   Worst GI JOE product ever!!!!!!!!!!   (hahaha, kidding of course).

Overall it is great.  Just like the VAMP.   Something about it feels bigger than the VAMP even though they are the same mold.   Maybe it is the missiles, or the wheels, or a combination of everything.   Either way it is great.

Oh and for those not keeping track, the Gunner (Tier 2) for the Haslab Rattler unlocked yesterday.   So now there is approximately three weeks left to unlock the last tier (Baroness).

I really like the Stinger - only 2 minor issues.  The spikey thing on the front is only held in place with tension, and when the doors are on, with the windshield being tinted it is almost impossible to see the interior or if there is even a figure inside.

Yeah the tint really didn't show up in the promo pics, but in hand it definitely is too dark.

So I got my second "Once A Man" Cobra Commander from Gamestop yesterday.   My first one was from Pulse.   Still a great figure and the packaging is wonderful.

I also snagged a TF Roadblock/Tripwire 2-pack from TRU with a 25% off coupon.   So it came out to just over $76 after tax with the 25% off.   Not great, but definitely better than the $101.70 after tax at regular price.   Just a shame that it was only at TRU and online retailers because it is over priced and won't get the deep discount they'll see in the US with Target when they decide to clearance it out.

Also funny...in the package Tripwire looks bigger than Roadblock when out of package Roadblock is easily taller than Tripwire.
