Cobra Minotaur on ebay

[Fire_Fly]

G.I. Joe 2012 cobra Deviant Mobile Mech suit New colour Green Came loose RARE ! | eBay (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=271003044927)

[CobraOfficer999]

Looks better than the standard.

[Fire_Fly]

Bump

[Xenos]

It's too bad they didn't start with the wave two mechs. They were both a lot more interesting to me then wave one.

[sbartek1974]

It's funny how folks in Singapore have all this RARE stuff but they fight it out to bid on my troop builders on eBay like it doesn't exist elsewhere.

[Crimson Rage]

Rather nice colour scheme (bar the orange) but oh my, not that mech again!

[fireflyguy]

No thanks.

[toy-nutz]

Say hello to a JoeCon exclusive! I can see this as OG or IG. Just a guess, but I would not be surprised.

Given the number of orange/grey mechs that have shown up suddenly in the last month, and now the minotaur, that's a possibility. The other thing that's interesting is that though other prototypes I've received have the classic "HF" or "HFE" on it, neither of these do.

I also wonder if Alpine will be part of this. I got a second change offer on the alpine after the most recent one sold and passed on, but was curious how he suddenly had several of this rare figure as well several years after they were cancelled.

[Starfighter]

Con exclusive? I am thinking so.

[nighthawk]

I only wanted the figure from the original unreleased Minotaur. Wish it was released.

[Gyre-Viper]

Thatz not the Minotaur. That is a hybrid of the Minotaur and Wolf mech..
Itz almost like the Minotaur with Wolf detailing. Very strange.

[Syn3sthesia]

Meh...

[Kaedryl]

Went back and looked up the original minotaur that was leaked, and I see the cockpit/color scheme is different on this one:

[RolandofGilead]

Makes me think of the Iron Grenadier Mech from the 2005 (?) con.

[Kaedryl]

Yep, 2005.

And this would explain how the seller suddenly had multiple Mountain Wolves to post on ebay in the last month.

You beat me to it. However, I did predict this back on 5/12/12 here on the forums. Post #3.

Those Mechs were $30 at retail (although I got my Cobra one for $10 from a TRU Christmas sale). How much do you think they'll be asking for at the Con?

If they do include a Nullifier, or a Ferret (why this awesome figure hasn't been made in 25th/ME style yet I'll never know), or one of the missing OG, then I'm going to have to have them.

[Tankster]

being something so rare it looks like a polished turd glad i dont collect protos and rare stuff

[Xenos]

If it is a con exclusive, I hope it doesn't include Desert Scorpion. That's a character I would like to army build.

[Starfighter]

-I can see the Alpine figure with that Arctic M.E.C.H. as well as this M.E.C.H. with a Ferret, a Nullifier or a Wild Boar figure.

-I can also see Annihilators with being made with the Matt Trakker accessories.

-Dragonsky has to be in there somewhere too.

[RolandofGilead]

The problem is that if it's for the Convention, then it's going to include a desperately wanted Iron Grenadier or Oktober Guard character. Much like when they offered the Python Motorviper (finally a driver for my Python Stun) along with the Python Stinger Jeep. I ended up paying a painful $125 for that one, and now I see that was a bargain.

This year's set is a Arctic theme. The Desert does not fit in this theme.

The Python Trooper has the Cobra Officer's uniform in which the Stinger Driver also had. The Python Trooper looks great to me. I have the Pythin Motor-Viper but cannot stand the looks of that figure.

[RolandofGilead]

I got an extra Python Officer and gave him the Bazooka soldier's gear so he looks a bit like the 25th Stinger Driver. The PP Motorviper (which I love) is driving the Stun as he was meant to.

That is a great thing to do with the Bazooka Trooper gear.

[RolandofGilead]

He looks good, but he doesn't fit very well in the driver's seat. :D

[Lody]

Dont the colors go with the IG's?

[RolandofGilead]

They do.

I sincerely hope that if these are for the Convention, that they don't come with drivers. Then they will be an easy pass for me.

[nighthawk]

They do.

LOL! That's what I'm hoping too! However, I guess this may be Hasbro's way of getting some cancelled Mechs out to us.

[Fire_Fly]

Well Kaedryl I can vouch for Claren ( vipers kingdom) that he only
Puts up new stuff as he gets it, and a lot of the time
He has no idea what it even is that he is posting on
eBay, look at what he called the Mountain Wolf and the
Minatour. He called them both defiants. Most of the time
I have to call him and tell him what it is hes selling so
He can post the correct info. And Kaedryl do u really need
2 mountain wolfs????

[cobracobra]

Looks alright. I would definitely pass if it commanded more than $15.

Oh, I know. I email him regularily as well. Though when I've talked to him he's insinuated he's a collector as well, so I've sometimes questioned whether some of how he posts is a front.

But anyway, I don't have 2 mountain wolves, just one.

[Python_Puckman]

I bet it shows up at the Con somehow.

[rugrat]

I just want the arctic alpine figure

[Fire_Fly]

I speak to claren on a regular basis on the phone
And yes he is a collector as well as a seller,
He has a nice collection. And the mountain
Wolf I know u have one but I c ur bidding on
The one on eBay as well as the minatour.

[Kaedryl]

Jeez, stalker much? :)

Yeah, I put $100 on the other wolf just to see if it would go that low. I have no intention of going higher than that.

[Fire_Fly]

Not a stalker just like to know the players

[Kaedryl]

Heh, I'm not much of a player.

But back on topic, for the number of these that have been popping up, especially the new color schemes, they are going to be turning up somewhere and the con is a good guess.

[Fire_Fly]

As i undesrtand the Arctic Alpine was only 9 available and they were all sold

[Fast_Draw]

If this is for the Con, I hope it's the attendee freebie lol.

[CrimsonGuard101]

Its another JANET Toy...Just another non existent toy....to add to someones "Hasbro cancelled me" toy line. Kinda ugly colors though...that orange teet on the left arm is bright...

[ponygt]

I love it, reminds me of Ghost in the Shell. Would be sweet with a 30th/POC WildBoar :) and would look great standing next to the other mechs.

[sithewok]

Hoping these mechs aren't for the con. With the added 100.00 this year, I'm hoping for more than "vehicles that would have hit clearance if they were actually released."

But I think it's probably a safe bet that these are going to show up somewhere soon and the Con is the safest bet as to where, I imagine.

[ponygt]

ROSS <fingers crossed> LOL

[Starfighter]

I think ot is a con vehicle but I do not want it. I will just want he figure as this will be sold immediately.

[Fire_Fly]

Just spoke to Viperskingdom this is the only one he has, it was mixed in with the mountain wolf mechs he got

[CG82]

I rather them release a Desert Scorpion sometime this year.

Thanks for posting this! I'm a hug fan of these mechs, especially the Minotaur, and had been wondering what the story was behind that weird looking mech Viperskingdom had for sale a few months ago...

[VideoViper]

US $425.00 + Shipping..... Crazy

These just showed up at Ollies for $10:)
EDIT: NOT talking about wave 1 Mechs, & No I didn't pick them up when I saw them.

[ChicagoScott]

Those are the wave 1 mechs that are at Ollies. They have been available for months on clearance for $10 at other retailers. These are the cancelled wave 2 mechs, where only a few from China of each one and only 1 of the Hybrid.

[Ash Talon]

I like the idea of mechs in the Joe/Cobra conflict. Unfortunately, they used the same frame which made them look a little too similar. The Joe and Cobra mechs should have an aesthetically different look and feel. I'd actually like to see the Valor vs Venom mechs be re-released, although I'm not sure how well the taller, modern Joe figures fit them.
