WOW!

28,096 backers as the final total.

Incredible.   I didn't think it would go that high.  Glad to see it end so well.

So........what's next?

Here is nearly final update on the Rattler Haslab.   I have been tracking it daily on actionfigurenews.ca if you want to see how it went.

Cobra Rattler:


21,556 / 9,000  (+1,862)  239.51% of funding goal with 17h left.


Okay time to get on it you last minute fence sitters.   Crunch time is here and it is now or never!!!  hahaha

Nice finish coming up today.   I think we might fall short of 25,000 backers because the last hours are probably going to result in somewhere between 2,000 - 2,500 backers (my guesstimate).   Still a strong finish when only a couple days ago we were still waiting for Baroness to unlock.

Well it's done.

The final tier for the Rattler Haslab (Baroness) has unlocked, and with a couple days to spare.   Now it is just a wait and see where it ends game until Monday night.

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.

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.

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

Do you like it?

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).

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.

Nice to see companies getting on board the reprint train.

Unfortunately I have no attachment to the Action Force strips as I have never read them.   So a pass for me.   The price isn't great either at 150 Euros (plus shipping).   However it is a collection and the price is in line with what I would expect.

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

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

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.
