Where does the inspiration for the red CLAW come from? Does anyone know?

I think the Ewok has been drinking a bit too much. EVERY wave of vehicles has 1 of each new vehicle and 1 or 2 repacks of the last wave. Im guessing the case breakdown will be
1 CLAW/FLAK 1 Stinger 1 Sting Raider 1 Skyhawk or 1 CLAW/FLAK 1 Stinger 1 AWE Striker 1 FANG/CLAW |

The Stinger I'm not so excited about, because it's essentially just a repaint. A cool one, but I've gotten that mold already, pretty much.
I figure folks who have the Stinger Driver from the 5-pack will already have their definitive driver, but it IS weird to me that they don't put proper Cobra troop-builders in their correct vehicle, but instead put non-troop-builders in 90% of them. I guess that makes us OCD nerds buy extra figures, but it's still weird. I mean, for those buying 10 Rattlers, you get 11 Wild Weasels (I'm sure you had that CP WW already, didn't you?). Okay, so we got Wild Weasel with the Rattler. That makes sense. But almost none of the other Cobra vehicles have come with their proper driver. The proper Copperhead didn't even come with the Water Moccasin, and he frankly doesn't match it either. For someone who likes to keep the boxed vehicles/figures and one day display them, it just bothers me that figures are paired with the wrong vehicles. Did we get a HISS Driver with the HISS? No, HISS Commander. So with every HISS, we get a commander? That makes sense. Likewise, I find it odd that the classic Stinger Driver doesn't come with the Stinger... Instead, we get a Stinger gunner, perhaps? Navigator? Yet collectors who didn't stock up on Stinger Drivers when the Legions set was clearanced are stuck with only 1 or 2 proper Stinger Drivers. Fortunately, I don't collect the larger vehicles opened, or army-build them for that matter, but it sucks for those who do. The Tele-Vipers with the Flight pod made sense, except the figure really sucked, and it was paired with a non-troop-builder Joe. The Viper/Trooper figures with the FANG/CLAW set were at least generic, but fugly. I sort of wish they'd just release the smaller vehicles individually at a lower price point, so we didn't end up with a bunch of awesome troop builder Cobras but 5 Outbacks... (Again, I know it's to make Hasbro more money, but it's wasteful.) The Strato Viper is a great troop builder though. I can't wait for that one. The red, surprisingly, looks awesome on the CLAW. Outback looks awesome too, so I'll definitely be opening this set, as both figures are awesome, and the vehicles/accessories help to complete something previously released. All in all though, this wave is pretty good all-around. Hasbro's getting better, just some of their decision-making doesn't make as much sense as it should.

I just got off the phone with Diamond they told me the expected ship date for this vehicle case is February 25th, but take that with a grain of salt because Diamond does not always ship on time. I have one case of these on order through them so I'll keep you guys informed with what happens.
