I wasn't a really big fan of the costumes used in the live action GI Joe movies, so I passed them up when they were on the shelves and stopped paying attention. I recently discovered the Retaliation Crimson Guard and it has, in my opinion, the best head sculpt of the modern CGs this far. Are the eBay prices of approximately $45 about right with these guys? I'm all pretty impatient collector And I'm not sure if these typically go for less. I'm hoping they show up in the Retro line or something. Was retaliation a popular line? I'm so glad to see many of the cobra figures closely resemble their ARAH versions.
I sort of regret moving to transformers and putting my GI Joe's in storage. |

I would think that's a pretty accurate price these days. You don't see many of these floating around, but then, I'm not looking often.

Such is the state of collecting G.I. Joe. Hasbro has even raised the prices on Retro figures.

I went through a major Modern figure binge from 2018 to last summer, and prices are definitely higher now than when I was first starting.
But you can find Crimson Guards for $25 from time to time. You just have to be willing to run a search, check in frequently, and be patient. The Cobra Troopers also will pop up in big lots that average less than $25, although that has become increasingly rare. The Retaliation Crimson Guard has an amazing head sculpt and it is the best Crimson Guard made, but it's not perfect. If you take off the combat vest, the figure is strangely proportioned.

It never hurts to haggle. Most sellers will chop-off about $5.

Thanks for the tips everybody. I've come to realize that I'm gonna have to only buy used/opened figures going forward, because I have some sort of mental block thats keeping from opening figures sealed in their packages. I guess I wouldn't hesitate so much if they still closed $3-4.
Do you guys have recommendations for websites that sell loose figures/accessories/parts? Or are those usually kept secret? |
