Every time I look at the re-made / retro / modern F.A.N.G. screenshots on the Walmart site I keep seeing the decals on the rockets and how they were just sort of laid on there and not completely finished.


Glad to hear that some of these are processing for people. Looking forward to picking one up in the wild.

You're right! I didn't notice that before. I just noticed that the landing skids don't have foot pegs either.

To be fair, my 25th FANG also has the stickers just sitting there because of the small diameter of the missiles compared to the size of the stickers.

Anybody found a Fang at retail yet?

When my son and I were putting the decals on his AWE Striker on Xmas morning, I was actually kind of impressed that they made the “WATCH HEAD” stickers taller than the original RAH so that you could wrap more surface area around the roll bars to prevent future unraveling. I wonder if they’ll be so thoughtful with those FANG labels...

On a side note, is anybody else disappointed by the vehicle instruction sheets? Aside from being spare on detail (no list of vehicle blueprint of weapons/functions like the originals) the new AWE Striker instructions totally missed the placement of one sticker — the “spotcheck” label on the engine under the rear faring. We fortunately still had the instructions for the one I had as a kid to nudge my memory.

[Blackacre]

Yep, same here on the spotcheck sticker. I had to go look to the past for that one.

Overall, I'm impressed with the vehicle. It's my favorite Joe ground vehicle of all time.

I wish they would change the card backs though. The cobra minded globalization thing they are doing doesn't line up with A Real American Hero. It would be nice if Hasbro would just be authentic with this retro line and go all in....and also produce O-rings...

Only seen wave 2 in the wild a few times which is a miracle with in itself. Only found Scarlett 2 times. First was on a crappy card.

I have never seen a Scarlett in the wild. Only one Walmart 2 hours a way had wave 2 except Scarlett. Hopefully I can order one on WM"s website one of these days.

[Jase]

Guess which Scarlett was shipped in a box and which one was shipped in a trash bag?

[46 Zone]

Now that I got my pre-order shipped to me, I no longer have a need to look for restocks. I probably will not go back to WM until wave 3 starts being sighted.
