So, possibly stupid question here, but which one of the Retaliation Joe Troopers is rarer? Blue cloak or Tan cloak? My end I've only seen like.... 3 blues, and I bought each of them. As opposed to about 5 Tans... however I don't know if that stands the same in other parts of the nation. Used to be that The Black CC was the easiest to find, then in Wave 1 re-release we see an influx of the blues. |

I've seen/bought 2 each of the blue & tan. As for the CC I still have only seen 2 of the blue and about 3-5 dozen black ones |

I've seen both from time to time. Neither is especially common. I wonder how equal it might be? |

I can find the blue at just about any store around. I didn't have the spare cash for the one tan I saw and never saw another. As for CC, when the toys initially came out, blue was really easy to find...but now black is really easy to find as well. Bought the blue single carded and got the black in the four pack. |

I have bought the only two blues I have seen. The tans I have passed on a couple of times, they were pretty plentiful for awhile. Nowadays I haven't seen anything restocked since right before the last convention. No Colton's, no jaye's, not even a battle kata roadblock. |

I've never seen the tan cloaks. |

I've never seen a tan one. Hell, I didn't even KNOW there were tan ones until just recently. I bought every trooper I've seen, and they've all been blue. |

I wonder if it's geographic? I bought one blue-collared one fairly early on. Then I didn't see ANY for the longest time. Following that, I saw mostly tan-collared ones. So I picked up a couple of tan-collared ones and made the blue-collared one a sort of squad leader. |

from what I understand the Tan is the less common one. I have 6 blue ones that I got at Walmart, but I haven't seen a tan one in the wild. |

I've seen both equally (trooper & CC). None were harder to find than the other. From all accounts here it must be a regional thing. |
