Big Bad Voodoo Lou posted:https://news.hisstank.com/ might be the biggest site, but so many people on the forums are churlish, hating on everything Classified-related. The community also seems to have a conservative streak, which may or may not be a turnoff for you. Yeah, HISS Tank has run off at least one GI Joe writer I know of (Paul Allor, who does the newest book).

Big Bad Voodoo Lou posted:Target website shows Baroness up for preorder right now, but it won't let me add it to my cart, even after signing in. Does anyone else have better luck? I'm just getting 'something went wrong and your order has not been added to the cart and we cannot guarantee it will be available later' so same Target crap. Also scalpers are the worst. Sadly they sucked up to the manager at the comic store I used to work at so I had to deal with them more than anybody should. They'd buy out whatever, try to flip it on eBay and when they couldn't they'd come to us to trade it in for store credit for more stuff they thought they could flip and we'd wind up with the stuff that didn't sell.

No luck with the Baroness. I did get to see the Hot Wheels Guys in the natural habitat because they were getting restocked. I may lose out on figures but if the price is being not that pushy and obnoxious, I'll pay it.

JT Smiley posted:I can't believe people are paying upwards of $140 dollars for that drat Baroness set. That's crazy, it's a 20 dollar figure with a bike that's barely painted that retails for $40. As disappointing as it is to me to not find it, at the same time I used to find the Skywarp/Thundercracker two pack the same way (which is to say I didn't find it) but now you've often got two or three on the shelves when I go. It just pays to remember to not reward scalpers.

This gave me false hope claiming there were two at a store about half an hour away and yet I arrived to find only lies and theft. (It's fine, it's a nice day for a drive.) This Target was actually pretty well stocked on everything so maybe it's actually the local Good Target.

So Popfindr feels like it gives out false positives, for lack of a better term. I saw they had a Cobra Trooper and Baroness at a semi-local Target and away I went except... they didn't in fact have them and hadn't gotten them in, although the lady working there said that it could mean they might be there tomorrow. I wonder what make it ping that a store has something because it doesn't feel like 'on shelf' or even 'in store.'

Fuzz posted:You do realize that no one cared about Star Wars at all for like a decade, right? From 86 to 96 when Shadows of the Empire was published it was basically relegated to, "that thing only nerds talk or care about still," despite the films being internationally acclaimed classics that were loved by hundreds of millions of people. The Marvel and Dark Horse comics in the 80s and 90s were mostly a joke, to the point where Marvel dropped the license, it was selling so poorly. The toy line was dead and replaced with GI Joe and TMNT. The franchise was basically done except for Timothy Zahn starting a slow snowball of EU fiction. Shadows turned the corner with the simultaneous N64 game release. While true, even this ignores the fact that the only thing coming out for ages for Star Wars (aside from the Ewok flicks) was the West End Games RPG that, for a table top RPG, did exceedingly well. The franchise was pretty much an afterthought until Zahn's novels, though, it's true.
