First time doing a full custom. I’ve built and painted tons of cat models. Having those skills have transferred very well . Overall this was a great time! 😎it’s About 100% done. Clear coat and details to the pack still to go. The process was a lot. Primer and 9 or so different.colors I think, spray primer, airbrush inside clothes and armor as well as camouflage. Masking was a big challenge as I’m used to. I debated heavy on camo or not but I can live w the results. I especially like how the rifle turned out. Thanks and hope you like it. 🤘🐍

Night Vipers are plentiful and I had one sealed sitting for a while and when I saw the Arctic 3 pack I knew I wanted a small army but not at nearly 300$ for 3 but thanks for the inspiration! . So I’m gonna be picking up more night vipers .

Plus a stop at the Toy Department.

Seemed like a smooth Target release this morning. They sold quick. My store and a couple others were sold out online before 8am. Not many showing left in stock anywhere in town now close to 10am. Good luck on the hunt everyone, get out there!

As you all know, the new Ninja Force Snake Eyes & Jinx Target exclusive dropped this morning. As soon as it became available, my wife ordered one for in-store pickup at our local (about 40 minutes away) Target. The app showed 4 in stock, the order went through and around 8 AM we got the notification that it was ready for pickup.

We went to the store, only to be told they don’t know what happened, but they don’t have them and our order was being canceled. I checked the toy section myself and there were none. Yet the Target app still showed at that time, 1 in stock at that store, while all the surrounding stores were all sold out.

I’m not accusing anyone of anything, but given how sought-after this set is and its likely aftermarket value, I’m curious about what could have happened. Could this simply be an inventory/receiving error or is there something else going? I missed the Pulse preorder due to being at work and I’m pretty sure this was my only chance to get this set. As great as this set looks, I won’t be paying the aftermarket prices. It already feels overpriced as is.

Any Target employees or collectors who’ve experienced something similar have any insights? I’m super annoyed with Target and the way they handle these exclusives.

I have always thought the Cobra Valkyries set was one of the coolest sets in the line. Minus the tan gear it had been a low key grail of mine. The only time I have ever seen the set in person was a collectable store and it was $80. I saw they were randomly showing up at DDs. So my son and I went to see and bam!! We found a set on top of some random toys. $24.99 and I couldn't be more excited.

I Had this figure on preorder at BBTS for what felt like forever Easily the longest I’ve ever waited for a preorder, but it finally arrived! With this one, my G.I. Joe Classified Series collection from #1–100 is officially complete! Yo Joe!

I have a lot of extra weapons to store away.

YO JOE!!!
