I remember "back in the day" with the 25th anniversary line how you could walk into any store, and there would be a cobra trooper, crimson guard, viper, bats, etc, just waiting to be bought.
Now with POC, unless you army build the jungle viper or artic destro, you cant walk into a store and find troops for your squads. With the exception of alley vipers or shockies, I havent been able to find the "core" troops. I have 2 POC troopers (blueshirts), 2 POC jungle bats, 2 POC vipers and 1 POC IG, all of them from fellow tankers. I havent seen any of these at retail. So my question, does anyone have a large POC Cobra army? and if you do, please post some pics! |

TRu finally had Shock Trooper and Alley Vipers, but like Tuga said, at $9 a pop its a bit prohibitive to Army Build now. I got all mine through HTS back in the winter (which of course hasn't restocked since). I've seen only 1 each of the PoC Cobra Trooper and Viper at Walmart, bought the Trooper, the Viper did nothing for me so I left him. Target has nothing but Arctic destros. Like cases of them. Really annoying.

I've never seen anything past the Shocktrooper wave on a peg. Probably good that I haven't seen the new Viper, Steel Brigade and Cobra Soldier because I went overboard army building 25th.

I have 6 POC Vipers, 7 Cobra Troopers and 6 Jungle BATS. A meager army I know but I'm happy with those numbers. I also have 6 Steel Brigades. Some from BBTS the rest from WM. I do have 15 Shockies and 10 AVs tho

It is possible. I have 24 ST, 17 AV, 8 IG, 6 JB, 12 RV, 11 Vipers and 8 blue shirts. It takes a little hunting especially with the newer waves . I just recently started collecting again, mainly PoC. Will try and post pics soon. I wanna thank tank members for getting me back into collecting. Seeing your collections brought back great memories of childhood. Now I am an addict again but with greater appreciation of my Joes. No more throwing Rattlers out of my upstairs window just because I had afew

There is nothing out I want huge squads of, and back in 25th, when I wanted large squads I very often had to resort to trading/ebay. Quite happy with my 4 rock vipers, 4 steel brigade, 5 ig's and handful of cobra troopers to add to my 25th mass

best bet is when walmart stocks... the cram the pegs full, and when they run out, they run out...
when wave 5 hit, there was atleast 5 or 6 of each, havnt seen them since
