Well, we asked and Hasbro delivered. We've wanted vehicles since the 25th Anniversary line arrived last year and know we're getting them. So far it seems that Hasbro's releasing vehicles they still have the molds for, which are the ones released between 2000 & 2004. My question is will we be getting the Dragonfly/Locust? It was released during ToysRUs ARAH Collection. Does Hasbro still have the mold? Even the Night Landing Craft w/ Cutter seems cool. I never got these, any of these. Didn't know G.I. Joe was back when these were out. Again, what are the chances of getting Wildbill's ride? Airborne's also in the works, gotta have a vehicles for these guys.

I think there were serious compatibility issues with the existing mold. They'd have to retool the cockpit significantly.

I'd love a new Dragonfly. It was one of the few larger Joe vehicles I had as a kid, and my Wild Bill needs a ride.

hell the original wild bill barely fits in the cockpit. he just kinda lays there. they would need a whole new seat mold. they might fit if they just left the seats out.

The might do an extensive remold. The new Skyhawk looks like it's an almost entirey new mold.

I love the dragonfly. I remember stealing mine from a payless in 1985. Walked right out the front door with it. Ah, memories...

I never had the Dragonfly as a child, but I remember wanting it badly. I'd jump at the chance to own a new one

Hasbro has retooled most of the vehicles in this line, so I hope they do the same with the Dragonfly, that is one awesome vehicle, plus its on the cover of the Wild Bill comic pack. |

The glazed Sky Hawk is superb. I passed on the original because it was missing, even though I like the overall design.
I'd definitely welcome a Dragonfly. I didn't think it would need retooling (but then I don't have my original any more).
