Here's what I've been able to stumble across so far: Baroness/C.O.I.L.S. Cobra Commander (dark blue) Destro PDD Destro Zartan Cobra Infantry X4 Duke Scarlet V2 Gung-Ho Flint Lady Jaye Snake-Eyes (original retail release)
Have had multiple opportunities to buy Roadblock, but always passed. Glad I did, as I prefer his V1 look. Am VERY stoked about not only the announcements of re-release of the Target-exclusive Cobra Island figs, but also Breaker and V1 Snake-Eyes. My favorites Joes of all time are the original 13, and I MUCH prefer SE's V1 non-ninja-y look. Gives me hope that we'll get other original S1 figs, such as Flash, Grand Slam, Stalker, Hawk, Zap, Short-Fuse, etc.

He’s gonna start wearing a singlet, shave his beard, and stand in front Of Ryback. He’ll be called Ryfront! And the two will walk in a line together! AEW NEEDS to get on this! It’s a million dollar idea!! Braun in a baby blue singlet, Ryback in a light orange singlet. Call them Harry & Lloyd. See if they can make the connection themselves. Braun wants to wrestle you at Wrestlemania in a steel cage for that crack.

Just a random YouTube video that its algorithm suggested for me: Randy Savage VS. Razor Ramon.

Got the Keldor/Kronis notification, opened up the app to see that they were in-stock at a Target an hour away from me (Keizer, OR). Bought one for in-person pick-up, and put my mother-in-law as an alternate pickup person, as she lives in Keizer. Now the app is showing all stores as out-of-stock, and my order is still in "processing". Fingers crossed that my set didn't get sniped before it was grabbed for my order! EDIT: 2 hours later, and I just got the notification that my set is ready for pick-up!

No luck on Major Bludd for me either over the weekend, but I did grab Flint & Lady Jaye, plus a Cobra F.A.N.G. set from Wal-Mart.
Action figure collecting is getting nuts. The only Target-exclusive that I've got lucky with so far was the Baroness/C.O.I.L.S. set. Every other Cobra Island fig that I've wanted has been a wash, and I've all but completely given up on the MOTU Rise of Evil set.

SCENARIO: It's 2021, but for some reason we're full-swing in the middle of the 16-bit SNES/Genesis era!
YOU work for Acclaim, and have been put in charge of deciding the roster for the next WWE SNES/Genesis release!
Rules are: 1. You can pick 12 wrestlers for your starting out-of-the-box roster, and ONLY TWELVE. There is no such thing as DLC in this era. Pick more than 12 starters, and you will be fired. 2. You can only pick from full-time current roster wrestlers for your starters. So no Cena, Taker, Rock, etc. Injured wrestlers (as long as they are current) or storyline off-TV (think Bryan) are safe. 3. You have been given the green light to add 2 WWE Legends (and ONLY TWO) which will be accessible only by cheat code. Once accessed, they are unlocked permanently, making your final roster count 14. Only Legends for the hidden 2 spots, no current guys. 4. You CAN have a different roster for each of the systems. An example would be: both systems have McIntyre, but Styles is SNES-only, whereas the Genesis has an exclusive wrestler in Cesaro. The different rosters is NOT mandatory; you can have the same set for each system. Let's see your picks!

I didn’t like them at first but they’ve grown on me. If they continue to improve in the ring they’ll be great with some more experience. I'm in the same boat; they REALLY annoyed me at first (more X-Pac heat, than being good at heeling), but I find them tolerable in the ring now. They've got a job to do, and they do it. I STILL mute the volume during that terrible entrance song of theirs, however.

Anyone else been trying to hunt down the MOTU Origins Rise of Evil Keldor/Kronis set? "Target exclusive", pfffttt!! Might as well call it the "Target-employee/Ebay exclusive"!

All right, gonna try and get this in before the thread gets locked.
Back in the late 90s, I worked in a DirecTV call center with Shawn Stipich (Stasiak) in Boise, Idaho. Dude was my hero. When he had enough of a customer's abuse (and some times for no reason), he would straight up disconnect the call with no warning.

Dang, thanks for the generous offer! I'd be interested in an Orndorff.

As long as his "Momma" stays far, far away, I'm good with however they use him (as long as he's on TV regularly!).

I was fortunate enough to attend two different house shows during the summer of '92. Both had the main even go on just before intermission, with the semi-main closing out the show.
Boise, ID (June 1992) Main event: World champ Randy Savage defeated Ric Flair by reverse decision. Flair used brass knuckles to KO Savage for the pin, but the ref caught wind of it and DQ'd Flair. Semi-main: The Undertaker pinned the Berserker.
Salt Lake City, UT (July 1992) Main event: The Ultimate Warrior pinned Papa Shango. Semi-main: IC champ Bret Hart pinned HBK.

Back in fall of '18, I got a set of the Flashback Basic figs at WM for $1 each. The set was Bob Orton, Rude, DiBiase and Slaughter, and each came with BAF parts for the Fink, so in total I got 5 figures for $4. Probably the best deal that I'll ever get! https://www.instagram.com/p/BpKrktxFT9t

One of my local WMs FINALLY got in a new case... of S3. By the time I got there, both Takers and one Rock had been snagged. I got the remaining Rock, so it wasn't all bad. Already have Strowman & the New Day.

Eh, not really. The only way that I'll buy an elite/basic of a current guy is if the fig is on clearance/from a discount store (such as Marshall's, for example), and someone that I really enjoy the work of, such as Styles or Owens.
