Black PoC HISS Tank

Hicks_Royel · 10-21-2010, 03:23 PM

I don't have time to post pictures right now but I just picked up the black HiSS through my order with Entertainment Earth. The box is identical to the original release and there's no way that I've seen to tell from the outside which version you'll have. Aside, maybe, from the production number stamped into the box. I'll check on that later.

Now, as I had mentioned in previous threads, this is the latest case revision with wave two's Fury contains the Black HiSS. BBTS had suggested that the wave revision would come with the brown HiSS, I guess that information proved false.

When I get home in the morning, I'll post images. I know folks aren't going to believe me till then.

Anyway, just a heads up.

Edit: So, give me a few more minutes as I'm just getting home from work. But yes, I'll be right back.
Edit Part Deux: I still don't understand why photobucket moves so slowly even on this faster wireless card.
So the shipper box and all its glory:

The box itself, can't find my brown one's box to compare but the number stamped into this one appears to be 02381. Again, the artwork appears to be the same, I can't remember the coloring of the original to be certain.

And the unassembled tank. Everything appears to be cast in black plastic whereas the original had grey weapons and tread frames.

Awesome. Maybe we'll see them in stores soon.

Shin Densetsu · 10-21-2010, 03:30 PM

Hicks can you post what assortment/product numbers are printed on the box?

Adamantite · 10-21-2010, 03:31 PM

Finally! Thanks man.

I hope the number lets us tell them apart.

nighthawk · 10-21-2010, 03:37 PM

Yeah, I'd hate to have to buy it and open it only to find out have a brown one.

he was making a reference to their possible collectability.
he said nothing about worth or value on a monetary level.
