Got the Condor today. What a great looking jet It's the biggest Cobra aircraft (maybe biggest Cobra vehicle) I have ever owned. It is missing a couple of bombs and the rear gun piece. It's a great candidate for the vintage restoration thread. I may end up restoring it in 2019. Needless to say Christmas came early for a few Strato Vipers in my Cobra army.

I also think the Toys that Made us had a lot to do with it as well.

hey guys its been 8 years since I logged into this site.lol. I was collecting starting in 2005 till 2010. then I stopped and sold almost all of my stuff. in june 2018 I finally decided to get back into collecting. The prices have become pretty crazy on ebay. I remember it being a lot cheaper back when I first started. anyways recently I got a crazy good deal on ebay. I won 6 1986 Vintage Cobra Vipers 100 percent complete with there filecards for only $100. not sure how I won this. just the previous week the same guy sold 6 vintage vipers without filecards and it went for over $140. strange how ebay is sometimes.anyways Im still waiting for my figures to come in the mail then I will post the pics.

Probably. I used to see some crazy eBay auctions that were obviously fake to make people laugh like a figure with no arms for $10,000. Now I am seeing listings that aren’t quite that crazy but the sellers are actually serious when they want $100 for a loose v1 Duke with no accessories.

Got a complete rollbar for one of my Stingers, the other had broken off one of the connector pieces.
Got some more army builders, a 6th Crimson Guard complete, 3rd Laser Viper complete and 4th Heat Viper (2 complete, 1 is missing only one foot missile) as well as the 91 CC complete. Also got a cheap Hiss tank (footpegs broken) and driver. Big find though was the Cobra Bugg. Scored it with complete Secto Viper, uncut file card, never used sticker sheet and blueprints. Missing a bunch of pieces but replaced them all minus one chin gun with a broken tip via ebay. |

I have both and I think they are equally cool vehicles but yes they are right along the same lines. If I was forced to choose I would say the Hammerhead is slightly better which is probably why I have 3 of them and only one Bugg.

I don't have the Hammerhead now but I did back in the day as my playing heyday was 86-90. I find the Bugg to be a more fun vehicle in that all it's parts work together. The Hammerhead is bigger and meaner looking but it seems more of a place for a bunch of mini vehicles to launch from rather than a unified whole. Like them both a whole lot though and I love the fact that Hasbro really thought around the Cobra Island concept when designing vehicles in the late 80's

I had both, and ended up selling off my Hammer Head. I just didn't like the Hammer Head as much as I thought I would. I can't really give a solid reason though. I really like the Bugg. You can cram a bunch of figures in the Bugg if you really wanted to.
