Water Mocassin aka Sting Raider
It wasn't store exclusive but it was damn hard to find. I got mine picked up by family in the states - never actually saw one in stores. |

the Water Moccassin
re-released as the Sting Raider was not a store ex. but it was almost impossible to find and in Canada it was nothing more than a myth

Sounds like the old Water Moccasin, which was recently released as the Sting Raider. Relatively tough to find the new version, it would probably had been easier to find if it were an exclusive...

Most stores didn't seem to order it. That was around the time they stopped their 25th/ME ordering to clear the shelves and make way for RoC. It's why the Wave 5 vehicles were really online only.

also, worth mentioning, it's not a re-release, but an entirely new mold ~ recreates the original nearly perfectly, but improves on it in a lot of ways. It's fantastic, highly recommended ~ keep an eye out on the sales forum and you can score one.
