Dragonfly, anyone?

Jinx723 · 07-23-2008, 06:07 PM

Well, we asked and Hasbro delivered. We've wanted vehicles since the 25th Anniversary line arrived last year and know we're getting them. So far it seems that Hasbro's releasing vehicles they still have the molds for, which are the ones released between 2000 & 2004. My question is will we be getting the Dragonfly/Locust? It was released during ToysRUs ARAH Collection. Does Hasbro still have the mold? Even the Night Landing Craft w/ Cutter seems cool. I never got these, any of these. Didn't know G.I. Joe was back when these were out. Again, what are the chances of getting Wildbill's ride? Airborne's also in the works, gotta have a vehicles for these guys.

I think there were serious compatibility issues with the existing mold. They'd have to retool the cockpit significantly.

I'd love a new Dragonfly. It was one of the few larger Joe vehicles I had as a kid, and my Wild Bill needs a ride.

hell the original wild bill barely fits in the cockpit. he just kinda lays there. they would need a whole new seat mold. they might fit if they just left the seats out.

The might do an extensive remold. The new Skyhawk looks like it's an almost entirey new mold.

I love the dragonfly. I remember stealing mine from a payless in 1985. Walked right out the front door with it. Ah, memories...

I never had the Dragonfly as a child, but I remember wanting it badly. I'd jump at the chance to own a new one

It has a significant number of new parts, the most important being the canopy glass, which the old one lacked. That is the one thing I wanted fixed on that thing, and my wish came true.

Hasbro has retooled most of the vehicles in this line, so I hope they do the same with the Dragonfly, that is one awesome vehicle, plus its on the cover of the Wild Bill comic pack.

The glazed Sky Hawk is superb. I passed on the original because it was missing, even though I like the overall design.

I'd definitely welcome a Dragonfly. I didn't think it would need retooling (but then I don't have my original any more).

Funny that you started this thread, I had just went thru some of my "old stock" of Joe stuff and found the Locust and many other 20th anniversary vehicles and Headquarters and other 25th compatable G.I.Joe vehicles including the Rattle 4WD with Vypra (TRU exclusive) all MISB.
I will be posting them up this weekend if anyone is interested (tastless plug) ;)
