It's a convention exclusive guys. That's what repaints are for. The mass retail version has the vehicles on the correct teams. Better to have something that you don't want to buy made in limited numbers, than something you really do want.

I'm looking for a green hiss. If anyone is planning to purchase this set just for the Cobras hit me up. I'll be after the Hiss, Steeler & Grunt from that set.
It will likely be an eBay thing much as that sucks.

Repainting Cobra vehicles as Joe vehicles and vice versa is nothing new (Tiger Force, Python Patrol, Starfighter etc), but there's just something about the hiss that's too sacred to Cobra in my opinion. |

I know to many of us the Sunbow cannon takes a back seat to the Marvel comic line and even the file cards (my personal favorite cannon though limited) but in the Sunbow cartoon the Joes always refers to Cobra's equipment as Junk. So unless you're in a Tony Stark type situation and need to commandeer a hiss to get out of dodge or you are plotting some elaborate feign or trickery I don't care for the swaps, at least with out some altering. That canceled Moblie Cobra Missle base made from the Roc Pitt would be a good example of a retool vehicle for the other team done right. Green Hiss, eh It doesn't do it for me, but hey it's a great idea for an exclusive. It's exclusivity will make it more desirable than it otherwise would have been.

When Grunt left the team he got an engineering degree from Georgia Tech. The current IDW ARAH storyline follows that when he was reintroduced as a US State Dept Engineering Consultant in issue 193.

Just received an email from TRU stating that the SDCC exclusives are going up tomorrow. No time was given and I only saw the Desert Duel set advertised.
