Yes, there mainly new vehicles included with this line but I feel almost no need to pick anything else because of merely a change in color scheme. The only things I was looking fwd to getting are the RHINO (missed the DTC one) and well the Night Raven has been put on the crap list. And that is where I fail to see all the excitement this line is getting from some of you (other members). I'm easily pleased and I can overlook elbows that don't give a 90 degree angle, figs that can't hold weapons or viper hands but this is too much. At this point of the game all of those issues should been rectified before feeding us straight repaints. And to top it all now we are getting VvV vehicles and other vehicle repaints. To have the future on ME line riding on this RIP (Rise of the Repaints) is not a smart move.

The F-14 is no longer part of the US military. The F-14's were not just scrapped, but shredded to prevent Iran from getting parts.

I understand yours and Hasbro's perspective on putting your chips with the movie line but at the same time you can't expect to offer strictly repaints, label them as exclusives for stores and expect people to buy it.

Just watched the video review. Major setback for the jet not having rolling wheels. It's no wonder the landing gears don't stay down, the damn wheels don't roll! Only thing I do like is the way the pilot seat retracts back into the plane.
Sorry, this is a no-buy from me.

Freedom of speech, he can say what he wants. He is merely stating he likes this site better. His review on his preffered site. You don't like it, don't listen to it.

On the 2nd Youtube video he states that a re-released Night Raven would be about $100. Really?! I'm guessing more like $39.99-$49.99. Look at all the detailed plastic (plus lights and sounds) we got w/ the Millenium Falcon ( not the new giant one ) released around 5 years ago w/ it's price around $49.99.
I do agree that the New Night Raven/Bird is smaller, w/ lights and sounds, no rolling wheels, and sculpted different because it's for the kids and needs to fit in a certain price point and have a modern aesthetic. Still, the original Night Raven is highly wanted and would be a win/win situation if it was re-released for us adult collectors.

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.
I appreciate your mature retort. Most of the time when I say that, I just get a ton of Movie Fanboys flaming. My Reasons.... G.I.Joe has ALWAYS been an AMERICAN brand. if its called action force over seas or Not GIJOE is about americans. The politically correct crowd has moved in on a nostalgic AMERICAN brand, and they are turning it into Garbage. The Cobra Commander/Rex backstory Destroys one of the most colorful badguys ever. Weather you like the old CC that raised Cobra from the ground up with pyramid schemes to gather MONEY, to fund his armys, This New Dukes Friend, Baronesses Brother, Baroness Brainwash CRAP, takes a dump on 90% that was cool and unique about GIJOE mythos. The Character designs. Once again, Take an established brand and mythos, and change it into ones own image, just for the hell of it. Why not make Star Wars set in early 20's earth industrial? Just cause someone COULD?!?! Nope..There are too many star wars fans that would bomb wherever they shot that movie, and too many Hasbro fanboys that will just eat whatever is spoonfed to them. Resolute is a great update to ARAH....NOT THIS.. The Toys....Cmon..Look at this crap they are putting out!!!! The best looking stuff is repaints of stuff that is TWENTY YEARS OLD!!! So I say...I would rather the movie, and all its merchandising fall on its face, and cost the production company, AND Hasbro a huge chunk of change, and possibly teach someone a lesson about Shredding an established brand Like G.I.Joe. If that means that I dont see any more Joes for a few years...SO BE IT. Then they would go back to a more Military, American theme, That may be profitable.

The second video sold me on the jet. The sounds are pretty cool and I like that you cock the jet it's self to load missiles. It keeps the same ascetics of the old jet, but gives them a more modern look. I know a lot of you guys hate it, but that just means more for me.
I really want to pit this against the ROTF Devestator.
