sometimes the stuff on ebay that has not hit retail yet is different than the finished product that will end up in retail eventually. sometimes the stuff on ebay never comes out. those are the extremes of it. usually though the only difference is having to wait for it. the arctic snow job may not arrive in stores until late late 2010. so your option is to get it now or wait a year. but then again, it could come out before then... no one really knows.

Isn't the new Vamp just a remake of the Brawler? Not that I'm complaining, a 4 seater is welcome. I was kind of hoping the Steel Crusher would have been a 4 seater, but the hidden cannon kinda makes it worth the loss...I guess.
As far as the HISS goes, I'm torn. I really wanna like the design. It's cool, and badass looking, but it's a one man tank. No transport capabilities, also, the overall design would seem to leave it pretty vulnerable to being disabled as far as the treads go. Also, I guess I'm getting confused, or maybe Hasbro is. Why update the HISS, but not the driver? Why does the new "Clutch" look so dated. He doesn't look like he'll even look like he belongs in the same century as the RoC Joes, much less the same unit. Plus, I'm confused as to why no Cobra uses bullets anymore? Everyone has those lame sci-fi blasters, they even eqiup their gunship with them, yet The new HISS looks like something out of Star Wars, but is outfitted with belt-fed gattling guns? I miss Cobras using real guns. While both of these designs have very cool points, I'm just left feeling like I'm looking at two seperate toy lines, being presented as one. Some of it works, alot of it doesn't.

My thoughts on Cobra's weapons in the Rise of Cobra into the Pursuit of Cobra era.
M.A.R.S. issued items are using the electromagnetic type weapons as in the movie. However with Destro being arrested I am sure NATO now has M.A.R.S. under investigation. So Cobra only has what M.A.R.S. weapons/vehicles from before this time. Anything new tech wise will be using more traditional munitions and armaments. Now I am sure the H.I.S.S. and Mecha were originally under M.A.R.S. direction, but you got do what you got to do to get your weapons made. So corners must be cut and traditional armaments are easier to come by then high tech toys. But that's just my thoughts on the matter.

What a shame the new H.I.S.S. is such a monstrousity...It seems like the Sculptors couldn't figure out what they wanted, a Tank or some kinda futuristic Helicopter on Treads...Oh well, THAT's NO H.I.S.S. to me...

While both of these designs have very cool points, I'm just left feeling like I'm looking at two seperate toy lines, being presented as one. Some of it works, alot of it doesn't. At some point, it seems everyone kind of changed the HISS from a recon vehicle/fast strike tank into an all purpose combat vehicle. If anything, I think this new HISS fits the original IDEA of the vehicle better than anything since. It is fast enough to outrun anything that could shoot it out, but have enough firepower to disable or destroy any vehicle capable of keeping up with it. The general feel I get with the new crop of vehicles is that Hasbro is taking cues from Command and Conquer, in that the Joes (GDI) have very traditional weaponry, while Cobra (NOD) have fewer big assault weapons, but more advanced weapony. All said, I like the direction Hasbro is taking with the brand.
