Damn that looks really nice. I'll have to keep my eye out for that and the VAMP.

Yes, the JH Cobra Stinger & the VAMP are both amazing. I've always liked die-cast vehicles, and these are some of the best ones I've seen. My only complaint is that they should have included different figures for both (the drivers of each), but that's not that big of a deal.
So far, I only have the 18-pack, which is great. So, I will definitely getting these 2 if I can find them for a reasonable price. I hope the line expands to include a lot more of these nice die-cast figures & vehicles. I can see even some of the larger vehicles in the original Vintage ARAH line being included here for very reasonable prices - given the much smaller size(s). This line is especially nice now, given that the retro line seems to have stalled. So, these Jada Hollywood die-cast toys seem to be the only way we'll be able to get some new vintage ARAH vehicles.

Good question; I haven't seen these at my local Wal-mart or any other retail store - but have seen both vehicles (VAMP & Stinger) for sale on Amazon.
I got the 18-pack from Amazon for a good price; I've also seen this @ Walgreens. |

I've seen the VAMP at Target, and maybe Wal-Mart.
The Stinger I just picked up at a local shop. The HISS I have yet to see anywhere. Never saw the 18-pack at any store.

The 18 pack is at Walgreens. What store did you get the Stinger at? Many of us want to know where to hunt.

I just received this from Diecast Models Wholesale. It is not a bad likeness of the 1984 Cobra Stinger Night Attack 4-WD but is lacking the Ram Bar and Refueling tank in the front, and the Rear Platform with Handrail in the back.
Cobra Stinger Driver: Seems like these used to offer more leg room!

I've been watching these on Amazon. The prices finally dropped and shipping was next day. I received both today.
VAMP came nicely packed in a box. Stinger was in a bubble mailer and the box is a little banged up. It might be the doors on the Stinger, but the VAMP looked sharper on first impressions. The figures don't do anything for me. VAMP ~$10 Stinger $12 |

I picked this up, along with the Vamp and the HISS Tank. They're exquisite.
The only frustrating thing was not having the correct philips-head screwdriver to remove them from the packaging. |
