Get your tickets HERE.Zartan comments on the forthcoming NYC show:
"Well, well, it seems as though there are several potential recruits whom have a desire to join our small but elite society of Dreadnoks... This time in New York City! Our services are once again called upon by Cobra Commander and Reigning Phoenix Music to melt minds with Cold Slither! So be it, my Dreadnoks and I will see you all October 11th... Come prepared...Cobraaaaa!!"The show announcement follows the release of the self-titled debut album in June of this year via Reigning Phoenix Music. Also on the horizon, the G.I. Joe-stanning supergroup are set to join the Decibel Flexi Series with an exclusive new banger, Cobra Island."Cold Slither is a declaration of war. Fronted by the enigmatic Zartan and his ruthless Dreadnok bandmates Torch, Ripper, and Buzzer, the band fuses old-school heavy metal with anarchic energy and unrelenting force. With tracks built on punishing riffs, venomous vocals, and apocalyptic atmosphere, COLD SLITHER resurrects the myth and turns it into a modern-day metal juggernaut.Watch "Zartan's Revenge" HERE: Watch "Cold Slither" HERE: Featuring 10 original tracks and a remastered version of their cult-classic single Cold Slither, the album plunges into dystopian metal with themes of swamp-born menace and Cobra-fueled power.

Shown below via Amazon Australia is an in-hand look at the new G.I. Joe Classified Series Legacy Collection: Action Joe Police Emergency Service Unit (ESU) Action Figure from Hasbro. When pre-order information is available we will be sure to let you know.
Oh, of course, after I spent the money I was going to use to buy the figures...
...fortunately Hasbro Pulse doesn't charge for preorders until they ship, so I went ahead and preordered anyway.

Hasbro is rushing to make more, or will pre-orders get canceled at the last minute?
This is the usual standard procedure. The 2 batches that sold out are the already made units from sdcc. The listing up there now is the made to order batch. They usually do this. Hopefully theyll do the same for the Legends 3-pack and the Episode 3 Star Wars set. It will all show up at bbts and/or Disney Store a year from now so patience is what is needed now.

I noticed that Hasbro Pulse posted this upcoming album at their YouTube channel for the 40th anniversary of Jem... Is it related to this set? ????

I'm rather disappointed I couldn't get the Cold Slither figures. At least I preordered the T-Shirt & CD bundle before they sold out of my size. Wore the shirt yesterday, and been listening to the CD all week.

I feel the same way, but I had a strong sense that this set would be a significant pain to get because of the content and theme. I took a chance and grabbed a premium membership. If I had never received the set, I could have canceled it since I hadn't used it until now. I don't order much from Hasbro Pulse, so let's hope it pays off over the year.
1 hour ago, Outsiders said:As of 4 PM Central time, the set was sold out and was only for premium members. Maybe they will restock for non-premium members later, or premium members stocked up for eBay?
I posted that at 4:45 Eastern time. I noticed that fifteen minutes later it was sold out again. It was up for 90 minutes or so, which, while not great, is still a lot better than the single minute it lasted last week or the two minutes it lasted earlier today. There was also a little while where non-premium members were getting around the premium members only thing. As much as I hate the idea of paying for the privilege to have a chance at buying something, I was finally talked into getting a Premium Membership this year, and I have not regretted it.
22 minutes ago, Satam said:And still in stock. It says "Members only," which is odd, but that it's been up this long now is a good sign. I do know we have Pulse Premium members here, and I'm glad to see some folks who missed out earlier this afternoon were able to grab it. I hope they make it available for everyone soon.
