Big thanks to “williamzombie” of HissTank.com for letting folks know that he stumbled upon Pursuit of Cobra Wave 2 at his local Target. The thread report is right here, and he provided pictorial proof, which I’ve mirrored below.
Yeesh! And here I just made a 300 mile trek two days ago and couldn’t even find wave ONE.
Good to know they’ll be out there for someone, though, I’ll stick to e-tailers.
Asian G.I. Joe fansite, ACToys.net has gotten some very nice images posted of the upcoming third wave of Pursuit of Cobra single pack figures. Referred to by many as “Wave 3”, this is actually the first wave of 2011 product, which generally starts hitting retail around the end of the previous year. So hopefully we may see this product on store shelves December of 2010, or January, 2011.
Thanks to The Terror Drome for the intel, the images are mirrored below.

GI JOE
======
Hi folks, another short newsletter for you while we await the arrival
of the GI JOE: Pursuit of Cobra wave 2 items. It looks like the Bravo
vehicles have already started shipping from Hasbro’s warehouse so
we may expect those in about 7-10 days. Get your orders in!
Sometime after August 4th it appears that we erroneously removed the
wave 2 figure sets of 6 pre-order from the site. The pre-order has
been added back to the site so those of you wanting the set of 6 can
now get it at $46.99.

GI JOE: Resolute 7-figure sets are now in stock. $69.99 for both sets
ordered together.

The latest GI JOE comics are always in stock! Recently added are
GI JOE #21 and Larry Hama’s GI JOE: A Real American Hero #157. Lastly,
don’t miss Hearts and Minds #3 featuring the Interrogator and Deep Six.

From someone who has a great perspective… over on HissTank.com, Gyre-Viper has posted a nice, in depth look at some of the differences between the pre-production and production versions of the upcoming Pursuit of Cobra Zartan and Destro figures. The images really lay out some of the obvious and subtle changes the figures made along their long trek to retail shelves.
I find this kind of stuff really fascinating, as you try and track down what changes were made, why they were made and what the differences are. So many things to consider that many of us don’t even think about.
Check out the mirrored images below.

Road trip time!
On Thursday I’ve gotta make a statewide trip for work, and when I do that, I use some personal time so I can take some side trips to stores along the way. Of course, when I say “along the way” in talking about Southern Vermont, I mean, go way the hell out of my way, but at least a little less out of my way then than it would be now.
That makes no sense.
Anyway. This Thursday I’ll be hitting a handful of Targets and Wal-Marts (alas, no Toys “R” Us on this voyage) and will be reporting back on my voyage. Follow me on Twitter to get the step-by-step rundown, or simply enjoy watching me wallow in my own self-pity as I hunt in vain for Pursuit of Cobra Alley-Vipers. I chat a bit at each stop, take some pics, and feel sorry for myself. Doesn’t everyone want to watch that?
Wish me luck!
Slowly but surely I’m making my way through the first wave of G.I. Joe: Pursuit of Cobra figures.
Already I’ve got Alley-Viper, Duke, and Beachhead posted, and now I’ve added Snake Eyes, Storm Shadow, and Snow Job. I believe that just leaves Cobra Commander and Firefly, and with my HasbroToyShop order shipping this past weekend, I should be able to get those posted as well.
Just because I’m anal retentive, too, I may move the Beachhead review to pre-production and do my own production level review as well. Hawkwinter did a fantastic job, but I love Beachhead so much I’m itching to get a review in there as well.
Anyway, check out the Pursuit of Cobra Review Page to check out all of the PoC reviews posted to date!
