If we're talking about the regular line...no, they aren't hard to get.
What's hard to get is the Cobra Island stuff, which is what this thread is specifically about. I definitely had locals try to help me get what I needed and I helped out too but when none of us saw any of that stuff then it wasn't exactly easy to get. And again, it’s about using ALL the tools at your disposal. Some ingenuity goes a long way. |

You seem to be in a good spot to get your fill. Distribution is not the same with all locations. |

Where you live has no bearing on being able to trade...

True, but with so many others not able to find, or only finding one even trading has been difficult for some. Not impossible, just difficult. People are slowly getting what they want. It's taking awhile for everyone to get what they are looking for but the point is the tools you mentioned are being used.

I don't think I could get away with...
"Hey, I didn't find any Cobra Island stuff, could I trade nothing for one of your Cobra Island figures?" Don't think that'd go over well! I'm big into Transformers. I've done many trades and sales. I know how toys work. But all this assumes that the figures are readily available, and that I could conceivably walk into a Target tomorrow and pick up a Viper or two and trade them for things I want. But I can't do that because this stuff isn't available. As I said before, I'm lucky in that my local group, only me and another guy ever found Vipers, and the other guy couldn't even buy them. I bought a few that day and sold him one at cost, kept some for myself, and gave another one free of charge to a long time, close friend of mine. After that, I never found any more. So it isn't even like I could've traded any for something else as I just barely had enough for myself. |

Not so easy to trade if you don't live in the country too.

I hear lots of excuses but no real solutions or hustling.

I hear lots of pompous, but no real contribution to the discourse.

Yes people do come up with a lot of excuses but are you helping them out with their shortcomings? Are you providing any online links that these people can go to and place orders at good prices? There are also other tankers that not only provided solutions to the frustrations of others but they would offer giveaways, they would help other tankers by picking the figures up in the stores when they see them. I don't know if you've done these things for others. If you have good for you. If you haven't then put your money where your mouth is, if you have access to the ones people are looking for hook em up.
