I came VERY close to buying a Lot of 50 of those,what made me think twice was the Seller had no Feedback at the time.In the Auctions he said he bought a whole bunch of them at a G.I Joe Flea-Market slash Show,and that he paid a pretty penny for them.But the main thing that got me wondering about these was back in November I was on You-Tube,and a Guy that goes by "CobraLegion" had a Video of a Huge Bunch of the 82/83 Cobra Troopers set up.And everyone of them looked absolutely Mint,just like these that's showing up on e-Bay lately.So I sent the Guy a Message on You-Tube,and asked him if he would sell me 5 of his Cobra Trooper's since it looked like he had a few Hundred of them.Then sometime around the 3nd Week of Dec' I finally got a reply from the Guy,and he told me that somebody offered him a price he couldn't pass on for everyone of the 82/82 Cobra Troopers he had.And right around that same time,all those Lot's started showing up on e-Bay.Well I just went back on You-Tube to check out that Video,and it's still there.All you need to do is Search for that name,and you'll see it.And as I was watching it i'm pretty sure I could see the backwards Silver Rivets on the Shoulders,you Guy's go look and see what you think.Maybe this was the source of the Mystery 82/83 Cobra Troopers.

No way those are real. They are mint and at the last few scenes they are thrown in a pile. Do that a few times and you don't have anymore mint cobras. Specially from 1983. I say Gi Joe raids that house and confiscates the molding machine he has (j/k). But wow, what an army.

the rivets should be colored blue. Not one of those troopers come even close to having a blue rivet. PLus look at how odd the rivets on this cobra is at ebay auction:

So do you think that's where all of these came from?They sure do look like the ones thats showed up on e-Bay here lately,and he did tell me some guy bought all of them.I'm very tempted to buy that Cobra Trooper on e-Bay just to see it in person,and to see how it stacks up against a real 82/83 Cobra Trooper I have.And I know the ones I have now are real,i've had them since I was a Kid.
