Last week as I walked through Target, I was surprised to see pegs full of the wave 2 Cobra Troopers. 13 of them if I'm not mistaken. Only other thing there was a hooded CC and a couple of Buzzers. I thought that was kind of odd and I forgot about it until today when I walked into another Target and saw 11 Troopers there. I know those troopers weren't there last week. So where are thy coming from? Is Hasbro sending out full cases of all overstocked troopers or something?

My guess would be a hoarder bought several, realized they were produced in more quantities than he expected they would be and he could never make much of a profit from them, so he returned them. The Wave 4 COBRA Trooper seems to actually be one of the cheaper 25th Joes to get since it showed up in so many different case assortments. Which is wonderful and how it should be.

And those are only the two targets I've visited. He may have returned many more of them to other stores. I'll check out the date stamps on the backs to verify this. |

He probably made some money on it too with the new price increase at Target.

It has to be a scalper returning them. The local scalper in town does the same thing.

damn I'd give anything to get more troopers, that would be cool though if they released full cases of them
