Heh...No more "STURDY CONSTRUCTION FOR RUGGED PLAY"...Instead they opt for 2 cent diodes and a speaker to sell a toy instead of a quality made plane that will last years of play. Look at how many original Joe toys survived the 80s!! they survived us playing with them...crashing them..and now they are STILL selling 25 years later on ebay. Thisa thing wont make it a week in the hands of a kid. PATHETIC
I STILL hope the movie FAILS to send a message to Hasbro and Summers that the original 80s Joe was successful for a reason...This kind of CRAP aint it... I would give this a 2/10. This belongs on the Star Wars shelf...NOT G.I.Joe...

I still think the NightBird/Raven isn't as bad as everyone is making it out to be The original line was great but it is quite obvious you just can't go back again |

Why would u want the movie to fail? I hope it does great because from what I have heard from Hasbro guys is if the movie stuff sells then we get more Arah stuff, if it dosnt do well this could very well be the end of a great line. So I would hope u would want the movie to do well and just remember Hasbro has given us alot of cool things and they will continue to but they have to focus on young kids today. Just think about it and think what our dads thought when they went from 12 inch to 3 3/4, they probably felt the sAme way.

This is not the area of discussion but I have watched the trailer a fair few times now and it is actually growing on me. I certainly hope it doesn't fail and I truly don't think it will. I guess we will all know something one way or another in the next few months |

I woke up today and decided to check out the Night Bird again. I was telling myself that i will like it today...Well i am still not feeling it yet...I don't know if it is the spring loaded weapons or the fact that the plane cocks like a shotgun. Maybe it is the wheels. I guess at the very least i will get one for my son...

Yah, we will probably get like 1 ARAH stuff for every 20 new ROC stuff; and I bet even then they will package it with a crappy vehicle only a seldom few really want. LOL. And if I were Hasbro I would make it illegal to due comparison shots. LOL. Very cool pics though!

Putting this new Nightbird next to the old Raven really isn't fair. The new one doesn't look THAT bad as a redesign really, but I just loved the old design more. I still hate the new cockpit and front end of the plane. Not sleek enough.
Maybe when I see it on the shelf I'll feel compelled to pick it up. Because it's not THAT bad. |
