Saw this today at my TRU as part of their new ninja line. Didn't pick one up yet, but I have a coupon that kicks in next week, so I may get one then.
Looks the the Black Dragon VTOL, with coper skids instead of wheels, but about 3-4 times bigger. Looks like a 1 seater(possibly 2) but the the front looks like it may big enough to make it a 2 seater, was $31.

Poor True Heroes seems to have lost their way... they only used to do cool military stuff and now they do weird stuff like cowboy and futuristic stuff. The Black Dragon at TJ Maxx is ten times as better and only like 13 bucks now I think.

I haven't seen that VTOL aircraft, but I have seen the motorcycle, sportscar and the multi pack of ninja figures for the past two months at TRU.

Speaking of that ninja line, anybody else find the branding more than a little reminiscent of the new GI Joe theme and logo with the ninja star? It would seem True Heroes is basically TRU's piggyback for GI Joe.

Yeah I saw this and wanted to post about it but couldn't find a pic online. It looks like something easily modified for Cobra, but it's pretty freakin' big! It's part of the "True Legends" (oxymoron?) Ninja line at TRU, which is a buddy to the True Heroes line. I too would like to see it sans box!

I have to say it's smart on their part. The Retaliation toys came out, then had to be pulled for months. You just got a sneak preview of your competition, so make some similar things with a quick turnaround, and make some money.

I think if I were a kid, I would pass on all the Hasbro Joe vehicles and ask for the True Hero's line. Toss the inferior figures in a box to trade and use the more accurately sized trucks, armored cars, C-130's and helicopters with my Joes.

You have ninjas and orcs elves. Coincidence indeed. Saw this put on the shelf today and thought it looked pretty cool. I think with a little love all this stuff has awesome potential. I put a wash on one of the orcs and pulled out some sweet details I wouldn't of noticed otherwise. I think with the military switch to Sentinel One theres a possibility of maybe some cool new vehicles on that side as well, maybe even the Osprey. The ninja motorcycle is really stupid though.

I've seen the sports car. It looked pretty cool.
