And then maybe Rip It eventually.

I guess one has to think how they might sell "add ons" to a Future Hiss Tank recolour. I guess it is pretty reasonable to pre-suppose a Engineer & Tactician 2 pack.. though the most likely way of doing that would be colour matched to the hiss "after" they make the hiss repaint (sold with just the drver).

I think I actually wouldn't mind if they just made a (female) Engineer in shades of blue colours similar to Rip It & similar to the driver colours of some of the later Hiss reissues for the early 2000s.

As for the Tactician I think I'd like the grey and purple one (That is a nice complement to the Techno-Viper in the way that the existing Tactician complements the HMS Techno-Viper. But I likely wouldn't mind the mostly black one either... it might "complement" the Twilight Guard fairly decently too in that colour scheme.

The grammar is also a little odd on that tampo. WHy repeat vehicle twice and include please? I would think a brief "Ensure mechanics are not under vehicle before starting" would have been more thematic.

Maybe Hasbro should go back to some of the classic "No Step" deco from the 80's toys -- that thing was everywhere (and my Joes still climbed all over it).

If the "Cobra hires idiot engineers who can't spell" explanation was not reality (and honestly, any explanation other than incompetence is too rich to be true), the team will almost certainly hint at it to CYA and potentially any future spelling blunder.

It's not a very endearing thing - at least the text is really tiny on the Stinger compared to the Ferret.

Slow your roll, sir. I meant they did it intentionally to emulate English as a second language in pretend world. I didn't think that deeply into it and I doubt Hasbro did either. I sincerely apologize if it offended you.

Are you going to get the "Limited Edition" set? I'm considering waiting because, I hope they'll release versions with grey roll bars.

Sorry if I'm late to the party on this question...But the variant MM Slaughter, is it REALLY that sought after that it's commanding $100+ on the secondary market?
