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 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. |

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. |

| | AKA Shipwreck Jr. Join Date: Jun 2006 Location: San Diego Posts: 957 | 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.

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

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