It seems like every time Hasbro shows that they're taking a step in the right direction with G.I. Joe Classified, they immediately take a giant leap back in the wrong direction.
As many of you know, Hasbro Pulsecon featured their second day of panels, and among them was the G.I. Joe team. They excited fans when they announced Zartan was coming to the next wave, and then hit the ball out of the park when they followed this up with a lighter blue version of the Cobra Trooper, now called, Cobra Infantry, coming to Hasbro Pulse and general retail.
Everything was sounding great! Then they showed that they hadn't learned from their mistakes.
Hot on the heels of that announcement were the Cobra Island wave Firefly and Viper, another highly anticipated troop builder. If you haven't put two and two together yet, the words "Cobra Island" should have clued you in as to where this debacle was going.
That's right. Firefly and Viper will be Target exclusives, which go live today at 5:00 PM.
Go ahead and shake your head for a minute. Hasbro, it seems, will never learn. Attendees of the panel were quick to blow up the feed with their disdain for Target exclusives, calling them ebay exclusives. It would be funny, if it weren't so true and sad.
Well...Good luck to all. Start saving your pennies now for those scalper prices.
