I just went online now and picked up Snake-Eyes and Storm Shadow. They were the only ones available. I know it's a long shot, but if these sold well, we might have a chance of getting characters like Lightfoot, Backblast, and Downtown which the club never got around to doing.
Of course, we're talking about Hasbro AND Walmart here, which means it ain't gonna happen, but one can only hope. At least the small Joes are back in production in some fashion and I'm grateful for that.

Maybe someone has already commented on this but the awe striker it looks like a slightly new mold.
Compare these two photos particularly looking at the engine cover in the back it has a cut out in the new Walmart version and also a hinge for what appears to allow the hood / engine cover to lift up

I just now preordered Snake Eyes and Storm Shadow. I mostly wanted them for the card art on them.

Really digging the H.I.S.S. Tank as well - I remember getting the original back in '83, and it was one of my favorite vehicles in the line - and was one of Cobra's first "big" vehicles (have no idea where this is now, however). The tank driver had an particularly cool outfit; the red/black deco. really works here. This pack-in figure was actually more interesting than some of the regular carded figures, and was always a character I wanted to troop-build (but never did).
We were just discussing earlier, the AWE has been one of the more popular and faster sellouts of the reissued vehicles. Back in the 25th Anniversary with the Target exclusive vehicles, I never saw an Awe on the shelf. Saw HISS twice. Several of the Sharc repaint. Not sure why that one wasn't as popular. |

Hasbro is opening a door for someone to start a business making File Cards since they decided to save a few pennies by having 4 languages on the same packaging instead of doing market specific packaging.

Well I definitely want an AWE Striker & HISS tank! I would also like a Baroness at least if her face is painted nicely. Hopefully I can find these in stores whenever they are going to be stocked. It would have been cooler if the HISS Tank had actual treads this time around. I am surprised at the o-ring speculators. Hasbro themselves clearly stated that they would never make them again. They even destroyed the molds I heard.
