Theres just not enough going on with that septic tank to be a septic tank...it needs big compound z tanks and firetruck nozzle like sprayers or something...it just an orange DTC Hiss with blue missiles, just doesn't feel very "septic" lol...now maybe if the paint had been like it looks under a black light like your pic...it may have been a notch bit more cooler to have...since Eco Force was always those vibrant fluorescent colors...

I like it and I usually skip wanting the vehicles. I passed on the VAMP (maybe if it had included the missile back as a bonus option I might have given in), but the Septic HISS was worth it. Plus, I have this baby:

It was purely the cost of the septic tank for not buying one. Just couldnt pull the money to get it. I got everything else in the set though. No kre-o.. it wasnt that spectacular to me. Also the club has Iceberg listed, but you are unable to buy it, so I get to search secondary market now. Ugh..

The explanation at the show made perfect sense, though. They were looking at the molds, the DTC HISS was found and it seemed like a good idea as it had been feared lost. At the show, a lot of people seemed happy to have the more compact DTC (which is visually interesting) than a repaint of the Ret HISS which is so much bigger.
I like it and I usually skip wanting the vehicles. I passed on the VAMP (maybe if it had included the missile back as a bonus option I might have given in), but the Septic HISS was worth it. I agree that the DTC hiss frame is a good choice over the retaliation or POC versions (I'd love to see them use that again in the future for more new hiss releases in any format), just needs more to it to make it a Compound Z dispensing platform for sludge and toxo vipers. The black light orange looks really cool too, needs to be that color. If they had to give a special explanation at the show to explain it, then thats probably why not many are getting that message for those who didn't attend, so those details are lost on us. Visually many Don't feel it really fits a septic tank. Then add in the price...and eeeh not so much lol.

Hit up toys'r'us in Irving tonight around 630 seems they restocked earlier today or yesterday. Scored Blind master, dark ninja and a few others. Sadly night vipers were gone before i got there. I counted 2 lady jay's, 4 Colton's and just as many dark and cyber ninja's. I think 2 of the Colton's have been then all week, guess they are getting easier to find now.

I checked the one in Lewisville on Wednesday night.
I figured it was a waste of time but I was nearby so I ran in. They had 2 full cases minus the usual 3 and both Colton's. I'd rather find them at 5 Below anyway. I guess whoever grabbed the NV's didn't want to eBay the MU A-Bomb that I found hanging on the next isle over so I guess it wasn't a total waste.

Nada here. First one in the door, walk right into a fresh case of Cap Wave 2 Legends... The Widow is STILL already gone. WTF!? They weren't there yesterday, so I still can't beat an effing TRU employee to get her.
I mean I'll find her eventually, but that just isn't playing fair.

Ha. There are times when I wish that was true. I recall a year ago when a TRU employee kept pumping me to know what was going to be the next big thing scalpers go after for big money. I was giving him the lamest shit to grab.
