At least they seem to understand that vehicles are important without resorting to an AWE striker(version 71). It gives GI Joe some semblance of being more than a token action figure.

Agree, I am pleased with the announcement of all the upcoming toys. Troop building is going to suck some but hey, I am happy to have Joes on the shelf!

I for one am very glad that they moved away from the ugly kitbashed sculpts and absurd paint jobs that they had for the Retaliation line. I'd much rather see a smaller selection than see shelves full of the "Ghost Hawk 2", the "Tread Rippper tank" or the half-hearted newest iteration of the Hiss Tank, all painted in Krylon primary colors with shoddy 5 POA figures.

This is a hit-and-miss selection for me.
Way too many recycled figures for my taste. At least do something a little different with them. BUT the vehicles are universally great. And many of the "concept vault" figures that are finally showing up are awesome. So they did a pretty decent job, but not nearly as good as they could have. |

Agree. Did not see the WOLF coming! Live in a small apartment so dont have space for as many vehicles as I like, but thats a must-buy, even in a two-pack.

Wolf was a great surprise. Too bad I have to get a Snake Eyes and a Sky Hawk Repaint I don't want

Real happy with the vehicles! Most of those were very unexpected.

I think a lot of us feel our little opinions are the only considerations Hasbro should consider when releasing new things. Hasbro listened to the vast majority and opened the concept vault. They also made a copious decision to re-release some of the harder to get figures which I think is great. Those who are upset by the repainted NV and rereleased low light probably have them both already or have a surplus of the ones they hoped to continue scalping on eBay. Anyways, thumbs up Hasbro, I think you did good on his one
