So, completely random, but I was at Big Lots this past Saturday, and I found a 2008 Cobra Eel on the shelf! The package looks like shit, but the figure inside is mint/complete. Only $4, and it was their quarterly 20% off sale, so it only cost me $3.20. They recently relocated their toy section, so this thing must have been jammed under a shelf for like 8-9 years,lol.

They had a bunch of that wave in 2010 or 2011 for $4. Nice find.

That wave was literally falling off the pegs at our local Big Lots years back..........
It also had the Cobra Bazooka Trooper and the "Flint in disguise" Trooper all in the same wave. I think I bought like 10 each of the troopers and around 20 of the Eels. At $4.00 each, it was an awesome deal...... I've since sold all but 1 each of the troopers and have 10 Eels left. Those were my prime days as a troop builder, ah to be young and compulsive again........... |

Last time I went to a Big Lots store was few years ago and the only 25th anniversary Joes I saw hanging on a corner in an aisle were the comic 2 packs of Tunnel Rat with Storm shadow I think and one pack of battle damage snake eyed vs storm shadow

Nice find! I like the 25th Eel, even if it isn't the best version of the character ever. Shame about the file card, but the price was certainly right.

When I first saw it, I thought so too.
Absolutely I'll pass on Tinder, thanks. Lol Thanks. It's an awesome price. Looks like he's going for about $12-$14 complete on Ebay. |
