Water Moccasin has excellent repaint potential for Tiger Shark and a Python Patrol version.
Sky Hawk (with Lift-Ticket) also has excellent repaint potential for Sky Patrol silver (with whichever Sky Patrol dude used Lift Ticket's mold), Steel Brigade gray, Ghost Hawk (Arctic white/gray), and the Dreadnok Air Assault in navy/deep red. I LOVE the Badger. And the olive drab idea would be an amazing upgrade. I could also imagine a tan desert version. No love for the AWE Striker? |

They'll probably sell more Mark 2s and Tiger Stings that way
Leakers like JTPRIME are saying Hasbro is keeping production tight for the near future. I feel like second runs might be few and far between for some of these big ticket items. Gotta retrain the wait for Ollie's crowd so preorder something if you for sure want it and can afford it. Now, I wouldn't be shocked if we got a second run eventually but we might not see it till 2025. Like Commander Armada Optimus Prime just got a second run announced but it was almost 10 months after Armada Optimus Prime was first releases and it's an Optimus Prime when they're doing a big push for the 40th to reissue some older toys of Optimus.

I WOULD be shocked to see a second run. They'll roll into the Mark II then bump the Vamp 1 factory order by a couple of thousand. Hasbro reissued Kingdom and Armada Prime because it's Optimus Prime and it's Transformers. Kingdom OP is the "go to" Classic Prime that many folk missed. Armada OP was in stock for about a minute then never seen anywhere. I hunt all the time and never ran into a copy of it in the wild. Transformers are infinitely better sellers than GI Joe. I think a SS86 Prime will be announced around the same time we see a proto of SS86 Springer.

Being that we already have the Vamp. We'll probably get a Stringer this year. I also expect an announce lament for a F.A.N.G. and possibly a Water Moccasin.

I'd be in on the Water Moccasin. As I've said before, boats are often just a giant platform so they serve as mini playsets. At the Classified scale, they could do some neat things with the propeller fan, torpedo, turret, and cannons. Maybe even expand the sideskids further up the length of the boat so they can fit two figures.
As others have suggested the WM would be a perfect place to introduce a female version of Copperhead who could serve as a gunner or driver. Those who don't have a Copperhead could always swap in a Retro Eel to fill the empty spot. |

The "Wait Ollie's Crowd" didn't buy the Vamp. It was a Pulse Exclusive. No way that'll ever be seen at Ollie's.
