I have a billion joes but not one of the create-a-cobra. Why is it so rare? I even mailed-away for it when it was new and hasbro sent my money back. Did they make too few or what?

I don't have any knowledge beyond the 1990 line really, so I'm only assuming that this was made available after the 9th series (1990)... My guess was that it was a combination of it being an exclusive offer, and the simple fact, that it was also a "limited time" offer too... or I think it was...?? Orrr maybe it simply just wasn't mass-produced at that time!? I'd also like to think, that this was during a time period when GIJOEs were well on the decline, as most of us remember those days when we were all growing out of 'em by then and well into our teenage years and into the PEER pressure!! Well, that's what happened with me... hehe |

I don't think he is that rare. I managed to snag 2 of them for less than 25.00. I remember Lee's Toy and Review used to offer a free one with a paid subscription. That was a few years ago though

I personally believe it's because most of the folks that own one aren't ready and/or willing to part with it. I was fortunate enough to obtain one when they were originally available as a mail away...but of course I sold it years ago.
As Spirit mentioned, you should be able to obtain one sooner or later...it's either feast or famine with that figure...eBay will have none...then a week/month later eBay will have 20 |

i think it may be because i believe he was only available for a very limited time as i recall he was only in like one or two of the pamphlets that come with the joes. plus i believe hasbro has a problem with mail ins i waited six months for my real gijoe joseph colton.
