Troop Builders Who Still Needs Them?
This is a thread to see how many people still need Troop Builders. I know I have just picked up 4 cases worth with the last big restock in my area but its still not enough. I want at least 100 each of the Red Ninja, Cobra Officer and Cobra Troopers.
This poll is to see how many people still need troop builders and what Figures you are Troop Building. Vote on as many choices as needed.
I also hope Hasbro releases the Cobra Trooper with the Red Logo on single card.

I need mucho crimson guards, I already have about 12 cobra troopers and 4 officers, and i have about 6 red ninjas and 3 air troopers. I would like about 10 to 20 crimson guards. I have so many cobra soldiers or "blue shirts" from the previous tru sets i hope hasbro gives us some other troop builders soon like some assorted vipers or Eels

I'm not big on the plain troopers, myself, plus I have promised the wife not to really "Army build," so probably no more than 5-6 of any one figure is reasonable. I have 1 air trooper and no CGs, but I'd hope to get probably 4 of each, total.
Now, if Night and/or Alley Vipers appear...my marriage may be in danger. ;)

I only want two of each figure, one to open and one to keep MOC.
However I don't really see the need to buy two Red Ninjas and open one, nor do I want to open any more Troopers or Officers since they are basically the same figure as the Trooper from both the Cobra 5-Packs.

I still need/want a few more of each trooper and the Red Ninja. Looking to get about another 7-8 Crimson Guards too (I have 2+comic pack one on order). I've been sticking to about 8-12 of each. I just don't have the room to get more of each at this time.

I'm still waiting to see CGs in my area. Other than that, I'll likely just be picking up regular troopers until others come out.

I think the TRU exclusive will fill my need for Red Ninjas (hopefully they'll change the head to the Red Ninja head for the production run). If and when it appears. I've got some CGies pre-ordered, so it'll probably be one or two more Cobra troopers and I'm done. I'm not picky about the Cobra color. Depending on which I get more of, those will be the privates, and the ones I have less of will be the non-coms.
I'm only looking to fill out a squad of each.
The real question is will there be EEls, Iron Grenadiers, Shadow Guards and Night Creepers?

i only want 3 of each trooper, tops.
just enough to give them a feel of being troops, and not a specific or "named" character.
ninja 5 pack should do me fine. might even sell one of them formthe pack. IG destro and baroness only need so many targets. :D
when the frig is hasbro going to release the red sigil trooper on single card?!?!?!
i mostly want a couple more of those, and two CG's (want them to be fewer to give the impression they are truly "elite".) or three if you count comic pack fred. so i guess three more red troopers.

On troop builders it becomes a matter of what's out at the time I buy figures, for example if me and my son's have a completed wave we then troop build, total for the family is 15-20 troops total per troop. Now when it comes to those said multi packs I buy the hell out of em!

I know what you mean... my wife was with me when I found two Cobra Officers. I was going to buy them but she got all upset saying "you have that one already."
I was trying to explain that I could trade/sell them for figures I don't have.
They just don't understand, lol.

If my order with Amazon.com for the 4 Legion packs ships I will be set for Air Troopers, comic style Troopers, and Stinger Drivers (5 each) but if the price is right and I have the money I might get another set or just get a single Air Trooper. I didn't vote for the Air Trooper by the way since I'm not sure if I want another yet.
I need two more silver logo Troopers to have 20 which is were I will try to stop. I would love the red logo version single carded or in a 5-pack and if I had the money would get at least 19 but I would try to keep the number even.
I don't need another Officer. I have 2 now and they will split the Troopers until Scarface comes to lead the comic style Troopers. I want a lot more Troopers than Officers since to me it makes them look more competent and more like leaders and not babysitters.
I have 2 Red Ninjas and they will do just fine until the TRU 5-pack which will add 3 Troopers and 1 Leader, at least it looks that way. I want fewer ninjas since they should be more elite than other troopers. I did vote for the Red Ninjas since I need that 5-pack.
Last but not least is the Crimson Guard. I didn't have a red one as a kid, although my brother had 1 or 2, but i always liked the Crimson Guard. I even liked the Python Patrol version which I did have. I need at least 5 of these plus the Fred form the comic pack. Then again I need all of wave 5. I have a few of the Crimson Guards from Spytroops, Valor vs. Venom, and DTC so I have a few for Xamot and Tomax to lead but I don't want too many from 25th at this point since they are elite troopers.
This is a thread to see how many people still need Troop Builders. I know I have just picked up 4 cases worth with the last big restock in my area but its still not enough. I want at least 100 each of the Red Ninja, Cobra Officer and Cobra Troopers.
Just out of curiosity, why 100 Troopers and Officers? I can see wanting 100 of each trooper but the Cobra Officer to me should have at least 4 Troopers to push around. That's just me though.

I voted for the 3 I'm troop building. Red and Silver logo Troopers and CG. I have no CG's yet. I've been getting great help getting the blue shirts from the board. Thank you guys, you know who you are. I plan on getting about 30 of each. I have no CG's yet and need about 10-12 troopers.
I also plan on getting either 2 or 4 of the TRU night force 5 pack. I'm passing on the Red Ninja's. They just aren't my thing.

right now im needing one of each

I need two more officers, seven troopers (silver), 12 CG, at least three air troopers, maybe six (not sure how many yet), at least one more red ninja (wanting five more total so the five pack may take care of that). That should take care of the first five waves!

I would like 5 Crimson Guards and 2 more air troopers for now.I'm trying to keep my troops around 5-6 each,for now anyways.I only have 2 red ninjas but I'm going to get the red ninja pack(hopefully if I can find it when its out)to obtain more troops.

just got back from Wal*Mart. No wave 5, but I bought 2 more troopers. It's a sickness I tell ya. Everytime I go figure hunting I tell myself not to buy any more troopers or red ninjas, but I still buy every one I see. I 'm up to 30 troopers and 12 red ninjas. I seriously need to stop with the troopers.

Fortunately, I only need Guardsmen at this point. I have 10 on preorder, that along with the Comic Pack version will be enough for me.
I'm good on Air Troops, Ninjas, Officers and Silver Troopers.
I look forward to the Vipers, BATs and just about anything else they could through at me.

Many, many, many Crimson Guards still needed.
I haven't seen any CGs in-store yet. I thought I went overboard w/ 7 red ninjas plus the TRU set coming out.
I'm only going w/ 3 of each (plus one that doesn't get opened).

12-13-2007, 03:42 PM
I"m going to stop getting troopers when i get around 10.I have 2 ninjas and thats all i want.When i get my hands on the CG...All bets are off.
I have 6 Cobra Officers, so I'm thinking I need at least 30 troopers and 10 air troops to make it balance a little.
I've got 10 Red Ninjas, which I think is a fine number. I'd prefer that to be a smaller group.
I'd like to get 20-25 CG's as well.

I've been tempted to trade all my single pack officers and troopers for the comic pack versions from the legions.

12-13-2007, 05:16 PM
Ok i'm up to 31 troopers(black) and i have 24 officers. 4 red ninjas. 4 air troopers with 5 more legion sets coming so that will make 9 air troopers and 8 stinger drivers and 8 red troopers. I want about 15 total air troopers. I have no crimson guards yet(arghhh!!) I want about 30 of them for sure. And bring on the vipers and eels!!!
Monkeywrench
12-13-2007, 07:25 PM
This is what I think Hasbro should do. Create a 5 pack with the CG, Red logo Trooper, Silver Logo Trooper, Air Trooper and a Red mask Trooper. Then mass produce these and the collectors would eat them up. Could you imagine going into Walmart and seeing 30 of these on the shelf. I would be tempted to buy all of them.

I'm sticking to around 5 of each trooper. I just picked up 3 CGs. I think Im going to hold off getting anymore since we're almost guaranteed to get a 5 pack at some point and the Fred head is coming out in a comic pack soon. I can't justify buying more than 5. I do have 5 Cobra Troopers and would buy 5 more if released with red logo.

Good point. But as far as this thread goes, and people mentioning how many troop builders they need, Hasbro "not releasing enough troop builders to satisfy demand" isn't accurate. There are plenty of them out there. Hasbro has made plenty. So I think many of the people saying they still don't have all the troops they want, is more a monetary reason rather than a supply reason.

Both 5 packs are still at retail in abundance. If someone really wanted more red sigil troopers they'd just have to go to a TRU or K-Mart where there are still some on the shelves. As for the Legions packs, there are plenty of stores that have 10 or more of those. So if someone is willing to pay retail price for the troop builders, they shouldn't have any problems...that is of course unless they live in a more remote location. So demand has not yet surpassed supply.
Crimson Guards, Silver sigils, and Air Troopers are warming pegs. Haven't seen any Red Ninjas in awhile though.

There are no five-packs - JOE, Cobra, or Legions - to be had around here. Even if a store did have ten Legions packs available, that wouldn't be enough Troopers to meet my demand. Perhaps they're not selling as well well in Arizona, but even Toys Я Us has sold through their supply of $30 five-packs. Even the retailers that have been stocked recently sell out of the Troopers, Air Troopers, and Crimson Guards within a day or two. In trips to two Target stores today, one had a Stalker, and the other had two Cobra Commanders, two Buzzers, and a Serpentor.
But people are still talking about looking for Crimson Guards, so all the stores stocked to the gills with army builders is certainly not the rule.

I appreciate the offers, but it's easier for me to just buy the Legions Troopers on eBay (and probably cheaper, too). I'm still selling off loose Cobra Commander and Storm Shadow figures from the 40 or so packs I bought. I don't want to add to that mess. I think the 15 Crimson Guards will be enough.
I went out tonight before picking my girl up from work.

Troop building for Cobra Red is easy but expensive you take a silver logo cobra and an air trooper and do some experimenting switch the legs, head, helmet, and webgear on each and to make it more detailed paint the neck the matching color of face scarf. I have about 3 air trooper and scarface silver logo and four red logo custom cobras along with two original.

Since Hasbro made their own custom Alley Viper, I think it's a safe bet that we're getting at least him. Night Viper is almost a given too IMO.

I sort of figured it wouldn't be cost-effective for people to purchase $30 Legions packs for you for the lone figure, but I thought I'd throw it out there. Yeah, the Legions Troopers aren't nearly as common on eBay as they were a few months ago, but that's the only Trooper I'm still gathering. Of course, if I happen to stumble upon Legions packs myself while I'm out and about, leaving them behind might be a different story. :)
Of course, if Hasbro would just release army builder packs of red-sigil Troopers, Legions Troopers, Stinger Drivers, Air Troopers, Crimson Guards, Vipers, H.I.S.S. Drivers, and B.A.T.s, there would be no discussion. But hey, Night Watch Troopers, right?

Night Watch troopers, indeed. I have looked at, and dismissed, at least 5 of those packs.
I'm sure eventually we'll see a B.A.T. pack and there is the rumored Crimson Guard Pack from TRU.
When B.A.T.s come out, given the way people have been talking about army building them, I fully expect there to be blood in the aisles. Personally, I'll be happy with 2-4.

Yes, the B.A.T. is cool, and all, but I don't need an entire battalion of them.

I agrree, releasing that legions pack with CC and Storm Shadow was a HUGE mistake by Hasbro. If it was an ALL troop builder 5-pack, instead of 3 out of 5, it would have been an instant cash cow for Hasbro.

I was born in charlotte, woo woo Interesting. I'm a transplant, like almost everyone else who lives here now, but I first moved here in '84. Looking forward to those Troopers!

Considering they already have the tools, they've already made most of the investment. But again, they put out Night Watch Troopers. I don't get it.

Then there's that mysterious ToysRUs Crimson Guard 5-pack that was presold on their website.

I want as many red logo Cobra Troopers as I can get, but right now I only have four (I also have three silver logo ones, but I find them strangely dull). The red logo troops are the backbone of my army and I love their 'simplicity' over the more contrived Vipers. Can't really see me picking any more up any time soon (unless Hasbro do release them single carded)

The TRU Officers 3 pack trooper has a red Cobra symbol but has no gloves. He still looks pretty cool.

I want one red ninja, one black ninja and thats all.
I kinda built my good eels and bad eels up, and customized them each into individual characters. I have Para Vipers and Resolute Troopers I've yet to open.
I'm content.

I'd definantly pick up a 5 pack of troopers with the red sigil and also a 5 pack of the crimson guards.
TRU already has a 5 pack of crimson guards...why not just army build with them?...i see them all the time.
