That's exactly what's going on.. I was thinking the other day about going to my local target stores, buy up all their vehicles, and check daily, and when/if they put out the the new shit, Return the Old.... It's a perfect plan, If that's the way they be looking at it....lol.
All I want to see is Hasbro putting out more 25th/ROC/POC/30th/Renegades/ on the shelves at TjMaxx, Marshalls, Ruby Tuesdays, Big Lots, and Ross Ha, Make us all happy..

I know, but I slacked off to much when ROC was showing up. So now I'm paying for it..... I coulda finished up my troopers.. I did find about 7 Desert vipers though, but I was originally only building my army's at five figs, now I want like 12 or 16 of them. I did finally get my Ice Vipers and Snow Serpents though. But I still have alot to go, especially adding more vehicles.. Do you have the 25th Cobra Rattler with wild weasel? What would you rate that vehicle if you have ever had one in hand. I'm thinking of buying one, but I'm not sure If I will like it or not..

It's pretty much a recast and repackage of the old 1984 Rattler, with the same Wild Weasel from the comic pack, but it's well worth picking up, I love it, a hard to find plane with only about 7 of them on Ebay right now; but evntually more will pop up. I missed it when it was sold at Target also, and picked one up along with an X-30, both sealed and sold as a lot on Ebay for about $ 60.00 for both, about a year ago, and to my luck I just picked up a Tiger Rat and a Python X-30 for about the same price a couple of days ago.

My Rattler is hanging from the ceiling. Definitely worth the money especially if you loved the original back in 1984 like I did. Lots of weapons!

Thanks Boys, I think you've convinced me to pick one of these bad boys up, I seem to really like wild weasel. He's becoming one of my favorite characters. I just opened up the comic 2 pack alongside Ace. This guy is awesome. As soon As I see this baby in my price range, It's on. Cheapest on Ebay right now is at $71.00 MIB. I may pick this one up next week. Although If I ever wanted an army of these things I may be spending a full weeks paycheck.

The 25th Rattler is nice but has it's flaws. The shade of blue they used is closer to purple than it should be. If put side-by-side with an original 1984 model, you will see the difference. But on it's own you won't notice. The major problem with it is the stickers. They are terrible. They have a cloudy look to them and appear to be paper-based. They also don't stick very well as they peel up on the round parts very easily. I got 3 of those Rattlers when they were at retail and replaced all the stickers on them with repros from RattlerRepros.com. It cost a little extra but was well worth it. All 3 are in attack formation hanging from my ceiling.
