So I got my second "Once A Man" Cobra Commander from Gamestop yesterday. My first one was from Pulse. Still a great figure and the packaging is wonderful.
I picked up OAM CC yesterday from a Game Stop. He wasn't the reason why stopped in: Falcon was. I held off long enough to get him and he is starting to disappear from retail. Plus I want to check out what retros they had in stock (picked up CC and a Snow Serpent the other day from another Game Stop in my home town). Took me 15 minutes to make the executive decision to buy him (it was him or Gnawgahyde). I still hate the concept of Cobra La. But I figured this figure will be hard to find down the road and would have zero interest in buying it from ebay.
When I went to pay, the cashier asked me they had another OAM CC for sale incase I was army building him. My initial reaction was WTF. I told him nobody army builds Cobra Commander (this guy should stick to video games). He went on to mention somebody was buying them all up and never came back for the other two. It was pretty clear at that point he was dealing with a scalper and told him this was the case.
