Over the last few years, and I've already made mention of it, I have drastically reduced my motor pool. Both GIJoe and Cobra have taken the hit leaving a bare bones vehicle department for each.
Sometimes in my haste to "make a decision" I think I have too quickly made some. After looking at my Snake Trax (old review post), I've been thinking about Ferrets. As well as how I think I made the wrong decision on trading these off.
Above, are a pair each of Coil Ferrets and Skull Squad Ferrets. Not inexpensive purchases originally, to say the least.
However, I ended up with the pair of each of these, plus the pair of mail-in blue Ferrets. I was very happy with SIX (!) Ferrets, but three different color schemes.
Originally, I sold the blue Ferrets, and I kept the Club Exclusive Ferrets in the hope that I could find someone that wanted to trade their Skull Squad Ferrets for my Coil Ferrets.
But that didn't happen. And when I saw the Cobra Fury previewed, it really looked like it was going to color match the Snake Trax. So, in my simple plans, I thought, why not "cash out" on the "exclusive" ones so I can buy more of the new Snake Trax. And then, with a few of those, I might pick up one "new Rage" tank (which have previously had the others in my possession, but traded out, too). With the new "rust" (?) color, that seemed like a great new scheme for me to make my standard Cobra ground color.
But, that didn't happen, either.
I didn't even see a Snake Trax until I saw one on sale at a chance stop. And after getting it, I was not as thrilled about trying to hunt down more. I wasn't going to pay full retail on these, either.
Looking back, I should have kept the Skull Squad Ferrets. I really liked those, not too gold-shiny, but somewhat a very cool Cobra-blue camo-swirl pattern that each Ferret ended up with a unique-to-each A.T.V.
Ferrets will be out there for many years, but is there a better option for an A.T.V. for my small Cobra recon. forces?
