My son shattered his True Heroes Apache so I found myself at TRU pricing them. While I was there, I noticed there are two versions of it. Not just different versions, actually, but two completely different molds and probably manufacturers.
In addition to the Motormax one we're all familiar with, there's now one that packs more surface detail and has a bigger, but less detailed cockpit. The canopy is completely transparent like the Motormax Apache, but it has a frame/window surround detail molded into it. It also has what appear to be wingtip missiles along with the hellfires and rocket pods. Oh, and it's in the exact same True Heroes/Sentinel 1 packaging and sporting some of the same Sentinel 1 stickers...it does have a larger shark mouth decal located lower down on the fuselage. In some ways it's cooler, in other ways not so much. It's somehow a bit more realistic and more toy-like at the same time. The figures and guns are very Chap-mei-ish. After comparing the two side by side, I prefer the Motormax version.
Anyway, long story short, if you've been wanting the Motormax Apache, but have been putting it off, I suggest you get one soon since this is probably a sign that they're being phased out in favor of this different mold. I suspect TRU is finished with Motormax as the F-22 has yet to reappear in stores.
