As cheap and simple as it is, it's a perfect IG vehicle. I have two and a recent SW Cloud Car as an AGP II thanks to the WM Xmas clearance. The Evader, Despoiler, and Razorback will eventually join the collection.

Too big and expensive. Most vehicles are either cheap to produce or related to the mainline's production schedule.
FANG, cheap. Crimson Copter, mold was being used for RoC. Sting Raider, mold was being used for TRU Exclusive for PoC. Armadillo, canceled Movie PoC item before all the movie-related things were tossed out. Z-Force Canoes, cheap. Endor Bunker, cheap (seriously, that is the cheapest piece of crap I've ever put together.) Stinger, cheap (VAMP is complicated, the Stinger uses far less pieces to snap together.) Z-Force Silver Mirage, canceled 25th line item and fairly easy to produce. So the con vehicles will either be something cheap & easy to make or related to something recent in the mainlines (PoC/30th/Ret).

Also, Desert Warthog and the Hydrofoils weren't cheap either.
Plus the Cap vehicle was JUST used last year, is EASY to reproduce (just a few parts in case you haven't opened one. It has only ONE SEAT in the front where it could EASILY have had 2). To me, the vehicle is only worth the 10 bucks they are selling them for now. If I would have bought one at full price last year, I would have screamed RIP-OFF.

It can be. Think of how many pieces there are. The body is a solid piece, 4 tires, the top, the plug in clips and guns to add on. Barely any paint or stickering for it. Cost was $75, cost the Club far far less to make it even with Bullhorn.
I'm picky when it comes to buying vintage stuff. Too many times I've been sent something described very poorly or missing something. Ask ShockVal and LOC, I circled the Great Texas GI Joe show floor for a long while before I made a vintage purchase while they picked up stuff left and right. Even found them a few things while I did it.

Hey dudes! and dudette if she's around...
FYI - I just updated my For Sale thread in a MAJOR way! (trades accepted as always.) Headed to Wal Mart on the way home to see if Retaliation stuff it out yet.
