BBTS has changed the listing from Crimson Hiss to Hiss (redeco) along with releasing more stock and lowering the price. It was $29.99 and now they have it down to $22.99.
GI Joe 2011 Midsize Vehicles Series 02 - HISS Tank & Black Dragon VTOL - GI Joe 2010 - 2012 GI Joe Vehicles GI Joe 2011 Midsize Vehicles Series 02 - HISS Tank - Redeco - GI Joe 2010 - 2012 GI Joe Vehicles I wonder if they got some new info from Hasbro and what has changed. It's possible it's still the same, but it seems weird to change the listing and all of the sudden lower the price by $7. I know they have pics of the Crimson Hiss on the Skystriker box, but who knows I guess.

You guys are very observant. What has changed is that the HISS will now be a solid-pack case, as opposed to having one HISS/one Black Dragon VTOL. This change is probably for the better as the Black Dragon VTOL isn't exactly setting the world on fire sales-wise. You will see retailers adjusting their prices and set orders accordingly over the next couple of days.

Really? I would have thought that the Black Dragon would be doing fairly well since it is an all new design and a decent looking one at that. Meanwhile the HISS is now on it's 3rd color, of which personally I think none are any good. Not because of the color, but because of the design of the new HISS. I just don't like it at all.

They should both be $19.99 in retail if they expect to sell at all...

I was putting off ordering the Black Dragon, but I have recently heard via this site that Target won't be carrying this vehicle + now this news of the new case assortments. Any insight you have is much appreciated............ |

I never know how to feel about these type of changes. On one hand I'm glad Hasbro is paying attention to what sells and what we say about troop building, but they miss the mark as much as they hit it. A Crimson HISS by definition will always be a novelty addition to the Cobra ranks for most of us (not alll of course). A Crimson HISS packed with the Black Dragon VTOL followed by a Black HISS 2-pack would of been MUCH better seeing as most people are still complaining they haven't found the black version HISS tank yet.
Just saying.

Will this make the Black Dragon VTOL a little harder to come by from the on-line retailers?

Any insight you have is much appreciated............ And for the record, Hasbro's MSRP is $19.99 this year with Bravos. Whether the RETAILERS (online or not) price them as such is up to them.
