Amazingly I was able to get everything I wanted without issue 3 hours later.

I did end up ordering the divers but I'll throw it out here again I'm only in on them for the Mass Device canister, so if someone is troop building with them, I will be willing to part with everything but the canister.

With the articulation and the fact it got skill ratings on the box like (Clutch or the Stinger Driver did on their boxes), I guess I would put it in the (GIANT) figure category and not a vehicle.

Man, does the SNAKE look effing crazy or what?! That thing looks sick. I can only afford 1, but you guys that are going to get 3+ are going to have some epic fun!

Honestly, seeing how we have Androids and Cyborgs in the line, I see it as a hybrid. It can be piloted or ran on basic autopilot AI. Heck even remotely via drone style.

Is it though? Sometimes it feels like people WANT a price hike around here. We just keep talking about it in order to will it into existence. Maybe people are just preparing themselves for the inevitable.

But I gotta ask, where is there evidence to infer that Hasbro has "privately stated" to BBTS that they are raising their prices?

Why would BBTS start hiking prices sooner than everyone else? (essentially pricing themselves out of the rest of the market by charging more). How would that help their business? How would that help Hasbro? Why would both Hasbro and Amazon, and literally everywhere else, continue to charge a lower price?

Maybe (just maybe) BBTS is increasing their prices because they specifically need to, in order to make the profit they would like to make within their respective business model.

To go around saying Hasbro is privately telling BBTS they are raising prices just doesn't seem to be based in any real facts. Unless you have some inside knowledge?

This SNAKE is definitely a vehicle. It has a seat and control sticks. No mention of carrying a brainwashed occupant, so I think they are treating it as a full on Mech this time rather than a trap/torture device.

As for a driver, I'm leaning towards using a spare Cobra Officer. It would be cool if I could snag an extra Fire Team officer, but they are a little pricey on the secondary market right now.

They absolutely are willing it to existence. In their minds though they call it being realistic. In my mind though once toys gets too expensive for the grand populace enjoy not buying anything because it won't exist anymore.

2 hours later and I still can't buy a snake. Sweet...

Also, if anyone has watched The Electric State... that's another interesting robot scenario considering the SNAKE, but the name "suit" pretty much sells it as a vehicle.
