It'll depend on the quantity produced honestly. The ML exclusives from last year are still available on hts. It's also not at all in Hasbro's interest to run out. They're a business, and they want our money. I think the PDD situation was simply an underestimation of the popularity, and I predict, possibly incorrectly, that this one will be easier to get a hold of.

I agree with that completely. Plus, they've already said that some will be help back for sale on HTS. The PDD was a surprise and it has a cache about it that creates interest for those who don't collect G.I. Joe. This CC does not. I fully expect these to be widely available at retail price for a decent amount of time following SDCC.

I think we should add a small * to this though. These will intially be hard to get a hold of and will sell for PDD prices right out of the gate because, well, people remember how well the PDD did on ebay last year. But I also agree that Hasbro will have plenty of these to go around this time. Not mass production/wide distribution numbers but still plenty. It will all come down to if people have the patience to wait for them or are they going to get carried away with the fear that they won't be albe to snag one and end up paying an obscene amount for it.

Let's face it, that's exactly whats going to happen, because people don't have patience. Then the usual idiots will be busy screaming "Scalpers!!" while they are coming out on HTS!

Personally, I'm glad for the podium with this figure. With that and a Lady Jaye fig, I can finally do that Police Academy custom!! :shifty:
