Can anyone explain to me why the new Cobra Air Trooper has become so rare so quickly?! Every online store I have checked already wants between $11 and $15 per carded figure.

Can you say army builders?
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 |

Imagine if HAsbro shipped some cases with just the various troops. They would fly off the shelf...

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 ) |

Those air troops are hard to get, I got lucky and found 1 and then bought 1 from my buddy C.I.A.D and I had 1 from the legions pack

I have only seen a few wave 4 figures and none of them are the Air Trooper, or Destro, Duke, Roadblock, and Gung Ho for that matter. 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.

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