thats cool. would rather black. would like a bit more detail. i mean if were getting 25th figs with "modern" sculpting, why cant even the paint apps on the HISS be more realistic. weathering, or maybe some silver/steel in the moving parts. and maybe the correct driver.
also, i read the rumoured price is $9.99...im not holding my breath for that price...especially if its an exclusive. id say no less than $14.99...by toy instinct tells me $19.99 if i get any vehicles, i likely just get a vamp and maybe a stinger. |

I hope it isn't 19.99. it would be nice if somebody could confirm the price. I'm making 20.00 my hiss budget. I just don't need to spend anymore than that on them. After all there isn't anything too special about thsese.

I'l be shocked to hell if its $9.99 but that wont matter as they wont stay on the shelves for more than 7-13 seconds. If hasbro and target cant keep 2 cases of single figs on a peg for more than a day they sure wont be able to keep a case of 2-4 tanks on a shelf. What is up with this trickle theory they are doing with this whole line? Frustrated rant over.

HISS looks extremely dull to me.
The trooper's cool... ...but no.

I don't think the whole problem is Hasbro. Target, Walmart and the rest of the retailers are to blame as well. The orders are just way too small. Also they do not keep their balances right on these and their mins are set way too low. you will see this become an even bigger problem when they get a huge order and then they have so many peg warmers.

With as many toy collectors/dealers there are in this area (san jose) target and walmart can triple their orders and I still would have trouble finding these toys. Its so frustrating, I just want 1 tank but with everyone planning on hoarding these things (it will be a cold day in hell when I see a C.G. on a peg) I may as well give up on trying to rebuild my modest childhood collection, at least at retail prices.

I'm excited about the vehicles. I don't have any old school ones and I'm glad to see them back.
I also appreciate the window boxes because I've been keeping most of my stuff sealed and it will display well. |

I think Hasbro has switched to window boxes due to people buying things taking out the product and replacing it with either junk or another vehicle.
I remember a TRU worker telling me awhile back how someone bought a big LEGO set, not sure which, and then took out the set and just dumped a whole bunch of random LEGO back into the box. I wouldn't doubt there are alot more stories like this out there regarding all toy lines. |
