I will only comment on the ones I have.
Quote:
Night Attack Chopter
Completely awesome, of all the new sculpt vehicles, this is one of the top tier. Altogether, one of the best gijoe helicopters ever made. Gimmicks are great, and do not get in the way. Sound attack actually works well with this vehicle, rather than looking out of place. You cannot go wrong with this toy. Not just as a helicopter, but as a vehicle in general its one of the best.
Quote:
Sky Sweeper
Not a must have. The small size is definitely dissapointing and the warped proportions make it look like a tadpole with wings. Without the mini spyplane you are not left with much, just a shell with wings in the shape of a dwarf F-117. Its durable, but even then far from the best joe plane.
Quote:
Crimson Command Copter
Excellent retool. You can't go wrong with this one either. Actually has a place in the storyline, as in the story its a stolen NAC but modded. This is the epitome of vehicle retools.
Quote:
Thunderwing Jet
Not the best jet but not the worst. Of all the joe fighter planes, this one has the worst proportions as it looks bloated and the wings are too small. Much compromise to the sculpt due to the electronic gimmicks. The gimmicks are great but some of the engine swivels get stuck every now and then(twisting them changes from missle launching mode to bombing). Fun to play with, but overall the proportions are very dissapointing. Very durable, it will break you, you will most likely not break it. Unlike the Skystriker, it does not look like a small scale version of the plane it is based on; it looks like a bloated F-22 with small wings. If you absolutely need a modern joe plane fix, its okay, but I do prefer the PTE F/A-18.
Quote:
Night Adder
Okay vehicle but this is no Rattler replacement. The gunner pod is prone to falling out, and the missles are not very secure. Better than the Skysweeper. It would look much better without the snake motif. The snake head shaped nose, and the scales are very distracting. With a cleaner sculpt lacking snake-like features, this toy would be so much better and look more believable.

The Patriot Grizzly is sweet. The NF repaint is even better.

The Pirahna boat reminds me of some of the boats used during the Vietnam war. The action feature is kind of dumb. If they gutted those guns it might look pretty cool.

The Copters are pretty cool

Wow...thanks for answering everyone. I had my chance to get a lot of these on clearance but wasn't into VvV at the time. In fact, I bypassed a lot of them except the Ninja Battles Valor set, Moray Hydrofoil and the Jungle Strike Humvee and never purchased any of the GI Joe vs. Cobra stuff either... Started collecting vehicles again when the DTC stuff started. But realizing how much stuff I missed...

Really wish I got the stuff on clearance because our Target had a lot of stuff on clearance especially the jets at $14 at one time.

Not sure if you were sticking more militant looking or if you were being open minded, but if you don't already have it, the R.H.I.N.O. is, in my opinion, one of the greatest G.I. Joe vehicles of all time, and easily one of the best since the 2002 relaunch.

Oh...I definitely bough all DTC...Rhino and ROCC and the other vehicles from that line. It's mainly the GI Joe vs. Cobra and Valor vs. Venom line that I never bought many vehicles and noticed the pictures from yojoe that some looked very cool.

Defense Mech...awsome, it's a S.N.A.K.E. for the Joes. What's not to love about this one, minus the stickers that pop up on surfaces that aren't flat. Other than that, it's great I pulled all the stickers off mine. Now it's just right, it looks much better without those cr@p stickers.

Pulverizer...I don't like this one, it's too orange. I don't like the claw hand or the driver that comes with it.

Edit: I bought the Crimson Sabotage set, I didn't like the figures. Their arms stick out too much. The paint apps on the vehicles is kinda sloppy, and the stickers could've been better. It's a good set to repaint and customize.

1. 2003 MUV
2. Night Attack Copter - I want this.
3. Sky Sweeper
4. Smoke Screen Transport - found this at a Goodwill and passed. Too "Rescue Hero"-looking for me.
5. Split Fire - this is the same design as the SST, but somehow looks a lot better.
6. Crimson Command Copter - same as the Night Attack Copter.
7. Cobra Ringneck or Battle in a Box Costco set - this is nice also.
8. Thunderwing Jet
9. Defense Mech - I'm undecided about these.
10. Piranha Attack Boat - I've been looking hi and lo for this at a decent price. It always goes for more than I'm willing to pay on eBay.
11. VAMP 2004 - I have the new 25th one, so I don't need this.
12. APC 2004 - is this the BAT APC? Another one I can't seem to win at a decent price on eBay.
13. Night Adder
14. Operation Crimson Sabotage - good looking set.
15. Pulverizer - would like one of these too.

I can't speak for the rest.
