Title: GIJoeclub offering canceled POC Commander
Post by: Realboss on June 23, 2011, 04:36:30 PM
The GIJoe Collectors Club is offering the canceled mail-in version of the POC Cobra Commander with Hiss drone in its club store.  The sad part is the only shipping option for Canadians right now is Fed-Ex at $50

THANK YOU!!!! THANK YOU!!!

I just bought 6 of them!

I will hold one for you if you want it.

It cost the same amount as the one I was looking at ebay, now I got 6 instead of 1.

THANK YOU!

I finally had time to read the lisitng carefully now.  DAMN it is a Pre-Order!  They are said:
Quote
This item is scheduled to ship within 4 weeks of
July 31, 2011.

And may cut my order down if they decide to limit the amounts...

My excitement has turned to worry... I may have to disappoint someone, if they limit me.

This little drone makes me wish they would bring back the little diecast GIJoe vehicles.

I don't know if this is appropriate to say on a GI Joe board, but my only comment on this is... "oh, it's cute!".

I'm not a fan, I hope I won't change my mind in few.. years!

Thanks Bandonov!

I don't get it. Aside from the drone, is there anything different about this figure?

You get the mailer box and a letter from Hawk.

I really wanted them to do a Titanium line for GI Joe. The star wars titaniums were pretty awsome for the most part. Given that GI Joe was a great vehicle line, a modern smaller scale line would have been awsome.

As for the CC, the drone is kinda cool, but the figure is certainly not worth the price for me. Of course I couldn't stand the regular release figure, so that's not a surprise. :) Incidentally, i saw 2 of the regular release red carded CC on the pegs in uxbridge last week. I hadn't been there in a few months, and they're still there!!

The drone has an amazing level of detail for such a small scale! I wasn't planning on getting it, but now, I might try for one.

Now that the postal strike is over you can get that fig with out paying for FEDEX.  If I waited I could have saved a bundle! It is still cheaper at the Club, but if you do not have the Officer discount then buy from BBTS.

You are getting Officer Level prices
