If display space is a chore just buy the ones you want the most and don't sweat it. I'm not going to wish the releases slow down simply because space may be at a premium. Another idea is to just cycle your displays. Like exhibits in art galleries.

Don't buy things "until the line dies"? Why you in the Classified thread hollerin "wait until the line dies"? Didn't you buy 9 NF Shockwave/RAM sets? I do not understand your rationale at all.

I have the HISS version but there isn't an adapter included that will allow it to work without their rear roll cage kit. I'm waiting for them to drop gray versions that match the Stinger before I buy one.

make it a different color

Lose the electronics
Bam its a different hiss
I would be in for an arctic version 2 @ least
A crimson sure why not
Maybe a blue/yellow/grey version for the range vipers
As long as it doesnt look the same i dont care if they remake it ..
But i would much rather have a thunder machine or an awe striker , for smalls give us the devilfish/fang/skyhawk/sharc/armadillo or the falcon glider and the cobra version as well we are getting the claws next year cant wait to have a flock of them hanging in the room ..

I think if/when they make a Gi Joe & Transformers Movie.
There might be some cause to do another kids line similar to the Snake Eyes Movie kids line... such a "hypothetical" line could have a drastically cut down Hiss Tank in it.
one with castors instead of tracks, no interior etc..

As for the Arctic Hiss Tank / Crimson Hiss. I think I'd like them to be as close to the Classified Hiss as is reasonable... (i.e. don't gut the electronics)
I don't think there is much risk in making such a thing.

I think they Hybrid pre-order idea is the best idea which is set up the design "finalise everything" packaging, colours etc.. then put the pre-order up for say 30 days and however many get pre-ordered make that many PLUS a small additional percentage.

So if people order 5,000 you make 5,500 if people order 20,000 your order 23,000 for example.

That way there is no risk of over-production killing the high price point item.

My whole thing was people will get mad if another hisstank is released as a non-haslab . I mean what they?re going to make the hiss smaller that would be ridiculous, I have no problem with them releasing the hiss as long as it?s not black, and comes with no other figures that are included in the first one, unless they?re different colors of those same figures, they could make rip-it or a new hiss driver like i mentioned a range viper support hiss change the colors to match the RV?s2 tone if they want to , i honestly think if they make the hiss again it will sell like gangbusters i wouldnt mind a
Blue
Crimson
Arctic
Whatever they make , ill make room instead of waiting for the line to die ..LMFAO who even says/does that oh thats right its ?TOA

ALSO DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY INTEREST IN MARVEL LEGENDS i am about to get rid of @ 100 of them easy any takers i will be selling them loose and for less than ebay prices ..

I'm all for a Skyhawk. Lemme get Lift Ticket and a flight stand with that as well.

I suppose I can buy more hat stands if needed, ha.

Some other Joe vehicles that could potentially fill a $100 price point...

- Skyhawk
- SHARC
- AWE Striker
- Armadillo
- Devilfish (GIVE US WETSUIT NOW!)
- Triple T
- Wolverine (this is probably a stretch given we have Covergirl and the Mauler is being hinted through the Rattler campaign, but this is actually pretty tiny compared to other vehicles, may even be smaller than a Vamp.)

If this listing isn't specifically "vehicles" but a vehicle pricepoint, then I'd add...

- Battle Station Watchtower
- Check Point Alpha

Not a very big list, so it might be easy to narrow down and the Skyhawk is probably the best bet here.

I'm sure some will disagree with these choices simply because they want things to be cheaper, but if I've got my Hasbro hat on, the above are the more realistic options.

Possibly, but the Skyhawk isn't based on any existing vehicle, so that was blatant IP theft and Hasbro was likely just protecting their IP.

I think youre as close to reality as possible as far as prices go and the selection works good IMO , now i really want the devilfish & the polar battle bear sooner than later ..

Exactly right , them just blatantly ripping off a design from the 80?s , nothing else looks even close to it serves them right , you have to protect your IP , especially now a days ..

I am really hoping it turns out to be the AWE Striker with Crankcase.

I don't think any of these are $100 vehicles. More like $45-75. Same with the Devilfish and Armadillo. Unless they fluff them up scalewise. They were rather compact vehicles.

I also don't know if it would be the AWE Striker. While an AWE Striker is certain for the line, I think it would be good to alternate between ground and air (or even sea) vehicles.

Based on that overseas company suddenly pulling their own Sky Hawk project down, I'm thinking Hasbro has one in development.

I want the awe striker and crankcase real bad , i have an itch for more 4x4?s & that 25th crankcase just wasnt very good its bad when the og version is better than the 25th one was ? hopefully he comes with a unique rifle/gun and a normal helmet and steel brigade as well .. im sure he will ..



Out of these vehicles/etc which one are you most looking forward to them making ,anyone ??

Sharc
Awe striker
Fang
Skyhawk
Ghost hawk
Devil fish
Mms
Polar battle bear
Thunder machine
Slugger
Armadillo
Ferret with another subteam paint job i was thinking PP .
Silver mirage
Dreadnok trike

I Want the devil fish and the polar battle bear, and then the awe striker

Im really itching for toll booth and some pilots/halo jumpers anyone else .. i want more variety in my display

[DFender]

I'm thinking a devilfish should come with a water stand similar to the Fortnite boat. Not saying that would add a ton of cost, but it's almost necessary in my opinion.
