G.I. Joe Classified Cobra Stinger Preorder Blues

The much awaited G.I. Joe Classified Cobra Stinger pre-orders has been begun, but it's selling out quickly. Is collecting G.I. Joe Classified collecting back to the dreadful 2020-2021 years?

Missed out on the VAMP. Got the ferret and I’m not giving up my pre order for this sadly

Theyre available for preorder at Gamestop.

I missed on the Ferret and Tiger Paw because cart issues, and terrible preorder window and low production. They need to produce more and keep the preorder windows open longer. Also exclusives are terrible. If you have an exclusive, plan ahead and leave a large preorder window open. Plus, max 5 is stupid, let people buy a max of 2 for vehicles (max 3 for figure) with a 30 minute refresh then you can order again to the same address and/or same card. So you can't order within 30 minutes if it is going to the same address or is the same charge card. I've had Walmart cancel me three times and I put in my order inside 5 mins of release, and twice at Target. I had to get the Stinger at BBTS. The distribution is so terrible that you have to be online at release to preorder because you don't know if there will ever be a restock, which happens mostly randomly and those are gone, or never. Or they restock like 8 times with Chuckles, or it's always stocked, but most of the time the more popular things get 1 small restock (at random) that sells out in 5 minutes and that is it. So hopefully they have thousands of Tiger Paws cancelled or shelf warming.

A bit late on this, but I ordered mine on Amazon. Still available today at least in the US amazon.

[@comicbookbin]

Yes!

[@shahansimon85]

It’s still available on Big Bad Toys right now

[@comicbookbin]

Good to know. Thank you.

Try nerdzoic for the stinger

[@viltheegr8334]

Amazon has them

[@comicbookbin]

They were in and out for me on Amazon Canada, but they are back now! Thanks.

The Stinger was supposed to be an Amazon exclusive but it’s available on various sites and is still available on Amazon as of me writing this. Hasbro has said multiple times with store exclusives they are only allowed to sell a very small number on their website. As to the Pulse exclusive Ferret, I managed to be on when it was released and got mine but it shouldn’t be a stressful thing trying to buy them worrying if they will sell out if you are five minutes late. And props to you for the Shark callout.

Thank you. We all miss him already.
