We saw many etailers show us official images from Hasbro of the 25th Stinger, FLAK, and Arctic HISS, only to have it swiped from our opportunity to purchase it. I believe this was a wrong move. It would be one thing if it were just a speculation or rumored listing in the Wal-Mart computer, but to actually pre-market these awesome vehicles and then not deliver is just wrong. I'd be much happier knowing the Stinger and FLAK were coming before the line went on hiatus, as opposed to now knowing it is being held indefinately.
PLEASE GIVE US THESE VEHICLES, HASBRO!! |

I think at the time they had every intention of releasing them, but plans change.
I never miss a chance to kick Hasbro in the beans when they deserve it, but i don't think this is one of those times. |

I agree. It really was a crappy thing for them to do. A lot of people (including myself) had put in pre-orders already. They got us excited and feeling like we almost had them in our hands then took them away without an explanation.

exactly. plans change, the economy isn't helping, and so on...this is in regards to wave 5 vehicles, waves 14 - 16, and CPs 9 and 10. things change and it is unfortunate for those of us that were looking forward to them. thankfully, we have those 7-packs coming...otherwise, it would totally suck.

Yeah, idon't usually stand for Hasbro but....
I am sure they have some kind of budget for development/production of new toys. With all the movie stuff coming out they could only spend so much on non Joe movie stuff...so some things had to get pushed back. |

I'd much prefer getting outback and strato viper without "their" vehicles. i don't care much for vehicles at all.

I agree too. I was all jazzed to get that Strato Viper, but really didn't want another piece of crap CLAW glider. The Seven Pack was the best ever consolation prize for Hasbro's change in plans.
Having said that, I did really, really want that Arctic HISS and Driver. My hope is that it shows up as part of the movie line. There's supposed to be an Arctic Battle so Hasbro can claim it was just off camera.
