But would it bankrupt Hasbro for them to sculpt some descent new vehicles instead of just lazy recolored existing molds.. damn.. they make more than enough in profits to make some nice new realistic vehicles... if other toy companies far less than Hasbro can do it for a cheaper price point sure as heck Hasbro can... lazy.. OK I am done with my rant.. sorry had to get it out of me..
Agreed. And if they are going to use old vehicles then make it the good ones. The ones from 82 to 86. |

Well one thing is nice, they have not done that yet with ROC stuff and totally f'ed up a re-release of an old vehicle. Luckily the Vamp, Ram, HISS, Sharc, Flight Pod, Armadillo, Skyhawk, Water Moccassin, Stinger, Flak, CLAW, AWE and such fromt he 25th line were not ruined....
I would prefer them to leave the vintage stuff in the past if they can't work a decent total release in it's vintage glory where 25th/modern figs can fit them properly...no stupid gadgets like firing rockets and updated looks to make them anything but the original...now if they want to start making super new molds and make things we have never seen (cough Resolute) then great, but these trinkets are from an era that did not last 20 seconds and made for some really lame stuffs. |

"Ewwww.... those are not 1:18 scale!?!? eeewww... total fail!" - random whining hisstank member.
So true. It's always either "EPIC FAIL!" or "PURE WIN!" What I really dislike is reading those two bits of jargon within posts. When I see words "EPIC FAIL!" & "PURE WIN!" I barf in my mouth a little bit. Now, I'm starting to hear shit offline as well. I was browsing DVDs at Target and this 40 something year old guy, loud and obnoxious as hell squeezes his fat ass in front of me, totally ignoring the fact that I was casually looking at the same exact spot on the rack... ...then and starts telling his pig-of-a wife/girlfriend about which Blu-ray discs are cool and which are not, and he was just pointing them out saying:"This one is epic fail! This one is pure win! This one is sooo epic fail, this one is a total pure win transfer!" So he ends up practically body blocking me, and as I moved back his wife looked at me with the most embarrassed expression. Her face was a combination of: "I'm sorry I'm with this hog, I'm sorry I was once pretty, and fun, and alive at some point before I let myself fell into this man's cloven-hoofed grasp, I'm sorry he's so loud- and blocking you, get me out of here, please!" It was terrible. She looked at me for one second, and that vibe was so obvious it hit me like a bomb. It made my heart hurt. |

No....your not alone... I agree, it's laziness to do this since they don't want to make a proper mold for Modern Era style figs. They could open the door to so many more figures like Extensive Enterprise CEOs Tomax and Xamot in proper buisness attire, they just don't want to get everyone's hopes up and figure we all colelct IG toys that fail for them to fit in with...The CC from last year works sinc ehe stands behind his little Podeumn in my display and all you can see is his head shoulders and arms flailing around....
IG Destro and Narnia Destro can fall off the face of the earth when SDCC falls into the pacific in the "big" one of 2012... Also, how the hell do you do a pre-order on something like this? This guy go ahead and sign up to buy three of these or something to sell just on ebay? Weird... http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=370199456796&ssPageNam e=MERCOSI_VI_ROSI_PR4_PCN_BIX&refitem=190305201517 &itemcount=4&refwidgetloc=closed_view_item&refwidg ettype=osi_widget&_trksid=p284.m263&_trkparms=algo %3DSIC%26its%3DI%252BC%252BP%252BS%252BIA%26itu%3D FICS%252BUFI%252BUA%252BIA%252BUCI%26otn%3D4%26ps% 3D10 Yeah, look: Only $140 plus $17 shipping. Give me a break.

Sweet items! I'm going to the San Diego Comi-Con this year and perhaps in the future too. They just have way too many cool things there.
