You mean the silver face one from the new DVD set? There has been a lot of Cobra Commander silver face figures.

At any rate, I would say that is too expensive.

not sure it was a single carded figure they had tons, Scarlett as well...I thought 14.99 was expensive but it was a comic store.

It is expensive.

But what are your options? If you want it, and can't get it elsewhere, pick it up.

It doesn't look like we'll be getting the newer DVD packs afterall (the old ones are still on the shelves).

Mind you they'll be releasing at least another 10 Cobra Commanders in the next 2 years, so I wouldn't suggest feeling that you won't get another shot at it.

For a comic store thats probably average. If it was like Walmart, that would be way too much. Its one of those things where its up to you how much you want the figure. I paid about $14 for the first Zartan from the 25th set. (though I didn't think they'd be making another one at the time...)

Look around your area first.  Sales are all over right now because of the holiday and after Christmas there will be more I'm sure.

Also ask around, even on the boards here and see if someone has one to part with.

Personally, $14.99 is extremely overpriced for a single card figure.  Especially one like CC, he is not selling for very much due to his overproduction.

Yeah, I'm starting to get ants waiting for the next wave of DVD sets. I was hoping to avoid going on line for these but I might have to.

I came across an ebay sale for cobra commander. I'll post the link here if you're interested. $4.99 US is the price he's got them at.

Hope this helps. :)

Thanks for the link carl, but i think with the dollar what it is it would just be easier to buy the 14.99 one new in package, thanks for the link though i appreciate it.
