There's some more sightings of wave 9 in California.  Maybe a new shipment from China has arrived and more will hit the stores by next week sometime.  The wave 5 comic packs will probably start hitting this weekend or next week since the Club received them.

Does anyone know if the HISS Driver that comes with the black HISS comes with a pistol?  Long story, but just wonderin'....

I see they showed Matt Trakker this week, any news as to what they are planning there?





Are we going to see more coming?  If so, I might just pee a little in my undies

If you look up in the top right hand corner of the figure's card (where it usually says "As Seen on TV" or whatever), it says "Mobile Armored Strike Kommand," so they're not hiding any balls.

Interesting....

I didn't notice that...interesting.  If we start seeing more MASK characters, that could be very tempting for me as well.  I really liked that line as a kid.  I'm definitely in for Matt Trakker, even if we don't see others.  Kind of cool that they are including them in the Joe line.

They were / are.  I've been battling with that stupid website for the past 45 minutes trying to get these suckers.  Got all the way to the final checkout screen several times but it kept timing out on me.  Now I'm getting a notification that all the blue suited versions are sold out   ???   Phone number is worthless as is trying to contact them online. 

I'm done.  Going to wait.

Had a lot of trouble but got in on one each of the Cobra Commanders. 

Went back later and bought the SW SDDC exclusive as well.  I'd left a second blue suit CC in my cart for when the SW set went up, just to see if it would reserve it for me but didn't seem to.  So, just one of each on the CC.

I had tons of problems with their site, but I managed 2 black versions.  If anyone comes across an extra blue suit, I'd like to trade.

Didn't Hasbro acknowledge the shortage of Destros last year?  I'm pretty sure they said that CC would be available in larger numbers, but that doesn't appear to be the case.

I seem to recall Hasbro saying that but I don't know if that applied to the blue blaser variant or just the regular run.  Plus, with the heat the Destro had from last year, it might have gotten people to purchase more at the show this year.  The show alotment also might not have any bearing on what's on HTS.com and maybe more will show up later as CCs get denied or whatever.

Glad to hear some you had luck buying the Cobra Commander today.  I'm not that interested in the figure but if anyone wants to sell the podium I'll buy it.

Yeah I saw that my Mormon Friend, it was a ball tickle, no doubt.  Which is why I yearn for more 3-3/4" M.A.S.K. figures, especially Brad Turner who I had a man-crush on in 5th Grade

I'd be down for a full ressurrection of M.A.S.K.   :)

Found the new comic packs this morning at Target.  Now I just have to back track and pick up the vehicles & DVD sets I've been passing on these past few weeks.

Mmmmm...Brad Turner.  He was so dreamy.

I think I'll avoid the MASK guys, but the overlap makes sense.  Cobra?  V.E.N.O.M.?  In the real world, they'd TOTALLY be related.  Plus, it's only a matter of time until Hasbro retrofits the Boulder Hill Playset for use in the GI Joe line, they way they have for Star Wars and Indy.

This way, maybe they can retrofit Boulder Hill as...Boulder Hill.
