All online stores sell all trooper types from all lines, not just GI Joe, for a higher price because they know people want multiples of said figures for their armies |

| | Cobra hates the paparazzi Join Date: Feb 2003 Location: Greensboro, NC Posts: 4,997 | Tell me about it! Special bonus 2008 wave 3! Case includes 8 figures:
Cobra Trooper X2
Cobra Officer X2
Red Ninja X2
Crimson Guard X2
I think we'd see some Officers and maybe Ninjas as peg warmers, but I bet every case would get mostly snagged up by anyone who came into the store and saw that
(The above case assortment is fictional, please do not explode into joy only to later explode into anger when you find out this wave will never exsist  ) |

With the prices online I got a great deal when I bought 4 more Legion sets from Amazon, which I got Monday. Right now I have 5 Air Troopers so I'm set.
If you are willing to pay that price just wait for Amazon to drop the price again. You would get an extra Cobra Trooper, Stinger Driver, and music box with the Air Trooper for the same price as other online stores sell the singles. Just sell or trade the extra Cobra Commander's and Storm Shadow's.
Also here's two waves for you.
Fictional 2008 wave 8:
2x Cobra Trooper (red logo)
2x B.A.T.
2x Viper
1x Techno-Viper
1x Alley-Viper (v1)
Fictional 2008 wave 8 revision 1:
1x Cobra Trooper (red logo)
1x B.A.T.
1x Viper
1x Crimson Guard
2x Iron Grenadier
2x Night-Viper
These wave listings come from a reliable fictional source I totally made up.

Or... you can buy a legions pack at Target if you want an Air Trooper and give me the other four figures.
