Beach-Head and Baroness are almost a perfect upgrades of the 80's figures. At least Roadblock is different than the other figure. Solid additions to the line.

The Roadblock in black looks like Kimbo Slice

I'm a die-hard G.I. Joe collector but I think I'm going to cherry pick this line because it's hard enough living in Canada, but now with all these store exclusives (Target of all things) for a cobra trooper army builder? I mean really?
It's okay because AEW is on fire and Mattel is still going to release the odd flashback I want.
I wonder if depending on the success of this line, they actually do 6" with retro designs. I miss Shipwreck as a sailor!

They said in the first stream a few weeks ago they intend on eventually getting to more classic designs. They’re “reasoning” is that the figure looks are going to be “mission specific”. They did also say the gold was just for the wave 1 Joes. I just wish they’d stop giving that gun to Roadblock.

I had Beachead and Baroness in my cart. Went to add two Cobra Troopers and they were sold out already, so I went to pay for the other two and they had been sold out while in my cart. This all happened before 9:01. Ridiculous if there’s nowhere else to get those. This line can’t be wasting good designs on figures you can’t get.

Target being Target. I should have just checked out with Baroness, but I added Beach Head and they were gone. I'm getting pretty ing tired of trying to collect sh*t that's so much work. NECA put me at my limit.

If you can’t beat them, join them...
