Okay so I may be one of the few here but yesterday I bought my 2 year old son the T-crotch SE motor cycle and I have to say I kinda like it. The figure aside the bike is pretty cool. Although the swords attached on the bike are impractical they are still a fun concept; plus they can detach and be used as weapons. lastly the pull back and release gimmick work just fine. My son loves it and now I may have to go back and get another one; plus the SE head ain't too bad.

I was hoping someone would do a review or something on one.
I 've been thinking about buying one but since the Walmart near me has so many of them and nothing else I haven't been in a hurry. I been spending my money on single figures for now. Glad to hear your son likes it.

Hmmmm, maybe after work tomorrow I'll steal it from my son and do that. But I was pleasantly surprised with it; if the price could be lowered by a few dollars I think it would be even better.

It does look pretty cool. I eye ball it everytime I pass by the G.I. Joe isle. Next time they have a sale I'll probably pick both cycles up. The swords that attach to it are a nice touch.

i actually bought both cycles, b/c my son liked the way they looked. He likes both of them and doesnt care about the figures, b/c they stay on the bike while playing with them. I think he is excited the figures stay on unlike the ROC zip cycle where SE kept falling off after one time of playing.

Yeah it is what it is, a badly articulated figure with a cool, playable bike. My son is still loving it.

that bike in cobra colors would be awesome for the VvV Cobra Coils figure.

I don't want a T-crotch in my collection, as there are better versions of SE available. It's good your kid is playing with Joes, however.
Got the Firefly bike for Father's day. I am glad my wife bought me that one instead of the Snake Eyes Speed Bike

By the way, I heard these have a peg that stick into the figure's leg. Does that peg prevenet a normal figure from fitting on the bike?

Saw them in store, looked tooo simplistic for my tastes.

Might get the firefly bike n paint it
Had I not spent my toy budget already, I'd totally get them. The vintage SW figure articulation on the Cobra Commander and Duke in the HISS Tank and Ghost Hawk II are really very minor issues, given that (A) kids - despite what we, as adults, think - don't really care that much about articulation and (B) they're just going to wind-up sitting in the cockpit anyway, so it's a moot point.

Glad to know I'm not the only one the wife puts on a toy budget

Haha! Mine's self imposed but it's only so I can treat her to stuff, too. :)
