That's not the case with the original red-sigil Cobra Trooper from the five-pack, the Stinger Driver, or the comic-style Cobra Trooper from the Legions pack. Officers certainly aren't warming pegs here, nor are Crimson Guards. In fact, I still see people say they need CGs in posts on this board.
.......................... People are still paying $10+ for the Troopers from the original five-pack. If there were "plenty", they could be had at retail for less money. Crimson Guards, Silver sigils, and Air Troopers are warming pegs. Haven't seen any Red Ninjas in awhile though. |

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. 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. |

None of what you said applies to my area, and there's nothing "remote" about it. 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.

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. Kmart: a couple of wave 1 comic packs, no single figures TЯU: two Serpentors and a Buzzer Target: a couple of wave 1 comic packs, one Buzzer |

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.
