Should have known this would happen from Walmart but I received one of two Storm Shadow figures via FedEx today. Now I don't know why Walmart decided to ship only one of my two figure order but the problem is they used a box way too small. They put the carded figure into the box and pushed it down so the top of the card was bent and has spider webs. The bottom of the card was pushed down to the point that the bubble came released from the card. I checked my account and I have until January for a refund or replacement but how am I supposed to get a replacement when the figure is sold out? I wouldn't worry if I opened all my figures but I don't so I'm worried now how the rest of the figures are going to be showing up.
I got an email about these figures from Walmart and they changed the release dates.
Storm Shadow - Same release date.
Baroness - 12/01/2020
Snake-Eyes - 12/01/2020
Destro - 01/05/2021
All three figures are available for preorder again except for Storm Shadow.
There is only 3, $12.99 and 2, $24.99 items listed for G.I. Joe unless Hasbro and Walmart are adding items at the last second.

West Coast time?
Hopefully they release some news on the R.E.D Line from Transformers. Need some updates on that line

For GIJoe the focus will be the Retro line and Transformers I think is getting a new line at Walmart of Studio Series figures based on the 80's animated movie
Purely curious as I would freaking LOVE That...but why do you think Transformers is getting 80's movie figures?!

Those 2 brands probably wont but Im also going to be going after the Marvel and Star Wars offerings. (And possibly Ghostbusters if they have something).
Also I suspect there will be some other vendor offerings Ill want too. Typically every year for SDCC I have a list of over 20 booths Im trying to hit up between preview and Thursday morning. With this being an online experience now Ill probably be picking up less this year but if they truly have over 70 items I suspect it will be more than just Hasbro Ill be after.

I'm mentally preparing myself for missing out on the SDCC exclusives. I have been trying to convince myself that whatever it is I won't need it since my chances are not looking good right now.
