I got that delay message as well.

I was only able to hit up one Walmart this morning, which is the store that the Toy Dept Mgr told me was going to have a GI Joe reset on Wed or Thu night. Well it happened and while they didn't have any of the figures, they did have a couple cases of the HISS and AWE, so I was able to grab both. The hunt for the figures continues as I don't trust my online preorders.
ETA: I canceled my online AWE Striker order since 2 is all I wanted. Last edited by Jase; 10-02-2020 at 10:38 AM.. |

I just posted a trade in my BST. I'll trade my Retro Hiss tank for your Retro Hiss Driver and stand. Pm me if you want to deal. Thanks.
Oh, and my 2nd order for the Hiss Tank just shipped. Still waiting on the Awe from my first order.

It took me a while to notice this change, but only after I placed my 2020 Cobra H.I.S.S. next to my 2008 Cobra H.I.S.S. did I discover some parts which Hasbro recently retooled for this vehicle.
The turret gun twin cannons are now thinner in diameter, as if the H.I.S.S. gun barrel bore has been redesigned for a lower caliber ammunition. The turret console has been sculpted such that the cannon motor-drive access hatch is gone, and the controls for the turret/cockpit two way communicator are flat and less detailed. For comparison, to the left of each photo is the 2008 sculpt, and the 2020 sculpt is to the right. All other parts seem to be from existing tooling, so they were not photographed.

Wow. I wonder why they did that? Maybe they lost the mold for the turret, and cannons. Maybe some of the details were lost when they reversed engineered to get the new molds. So even the Retro Hiss packs less of a punch, like the Retro Fang.

Both of my HISS tanks delivered this morning. This is my first HISS tank and I think it's pretty amazing. It's really solid and I love the size. Never had Cobra vehicles as a kid. Fingers crossed on the rest of my order. Hope everyone gets their stuff.

Quote:
The copywriter mistakenly typed on the 1983 H.I.S.S. blue prints that the tank featured 90mm twin cannons. This was later corrected in the Marvel Comics Order of Battle issue number 4 by Eliot Brown to read more realistically as 30mm guns. Even the recent Hasbro G.I. Joe Monopoly game has stated on the game card that they are 30mm guns. So if COBRA has recently reduced the twin cannons of the H.I.S.S. tank from 30mm to 25mm (as indicated on the new toy sculpt), it doesn’t bother me at all, but my preference is for more sculpted details and 30mm ammo options.

I got two different HISS Tank orders today. I have to admit, it looks amazing in the box. And the box is quite sturdy. My two orders (two each) were packed dramatically differently, with one being surrounded by protective material and the other two just thrown in a box, so there is a little shelf wear. But they are in pretty good shape given Walmart's record on shipping preorders.
