Sure, there's a big difference between the RT and a HISS, but where is the line drawn? Pretty much everything done since 2000 is still in their hands and I'd totally bet on them playing it safe and just replaying the hits (they've got a new Skystriker mold that barely saw use so that's pretty much a guarantee) but... what if they're just testing the waters and making sure there's a market before moving up? Could they drop a new WHALE? Re-issue the Night Raven?
I'm trying my best to be realistic, but plastic is cheaper today than it was when the line started and those molds are already paid for, so my mind is running wild.
I totally get ya. I think, for the time being and for your purposes, hold off on any vintage vehicles that were redone/re-released during the 25th/ROC/POC/50th. The big stuff though, even though never say never, is most likely never coming back...and that includes the ROCC and Rhino from the DTC line that were re-released for ROC. Every time Hasbro gives us a bigger vehicle, it tends to rot on the shelves and end up on clearance (including the Rattler, Conquest, Skystriker and Eaglehawk/Tomahawk). Now, if they decide to just keep this a single retailer exclusive that offers online preorders, they may take that chance again, but I'd expect very limited quantities if that ever happens.
