9.Destro with despoiler
10.Mamba
11.Killer whale
12.terror drome
13.Night raven
14.the black cobra version of the mobat

My thought is there is no way the art choice is totally random, when there are hundreds of vehicles to choose from why these, UNLESS................
The only problem with this thinking is that the art from the Defiant is also on the back of the 5 packs......I highly doubt we're getting the Defiant.

However, I think we'll see small to mid size vehicles. The Ferret will probably come out since it was released with a recent con set, so the molds are still good. Depending on how well the first few vehicles sell may dictate if we get anything the size of the Rattler (The last one they released sat on shelves for years!)

I think the problem with that rattler, although i own one is the color scheme as well as i thought it should have been available at all the major retailers not just tru. I think color scheme was a big problem with the tru moray hydrofoil as well. If either of them had original paint or something cool like a subset paint scheme like python patrol or sky patrol, these would have been hot sellers.

No the problem is that no one else but TRU wanted it.

While I agree that was a big contributing factor to the lack of sales, I also think the colour scheme didn't help. It was just a horrible choice of colours and it really didn't do anything to make the mold more attractive.

The past "Rattlers" have sold fairly well due to limited numbers and more realistic paints schemes (barring the original colours). This was just plain weird colour choices.

However, back on topic, I will stick with my original assertion that we will see smaller vehicles with a figure.

yeah i seriously doubt we will get a terror drome.
although last night i had a crazy dream that i went to the store on base and they had a TON of new 25th stuff including wave 6 and on the top shelf sat a boxed TERROR DROME! then i woke up. literally.

i really hope we get a dragonfly. that way i could put 25th wild bill in there and buzz the kitchen while yelling "YEEEEEEEEEEE HAAAAAAAWWWW!"

my wife would love it.

I still say the small Battle Stations or Battlefield accesories would be awesome.

But as far as vehicles go, I'd love the Conquest X-30, A blue Rattler, the sky hawk, the silver mirage Motorcycle and last but not least the Ferret

F.A.N.G
APC
DragonFly
Skystriker
An accessory pack with new weapons
25th anniversary collectors case

Zartan's swamp skier
C.L.A.W. - Again they should be able to make this much better.
Sky Hawk
Stinger
Flight Pod
Silver Mirage
Cobra Night Raven

There is no way they would re-sell the killer WHALEs. I doubt very much they will do anything large. I am hoping for sky hawk and vamp type of vehicles at best.

I agree that the above list is probably a really great gauge of what we can expect to see in 2008- or thereabouts.
