The new tooling budget would have been better used to create a 2020 Cobra A.S.P. (Assault System Pod) designed to accommodate the new construction Retro action figures. That vehicle is exactly in the size range which Hasbro seems to be working with for this Walmart exclusive line, and is long overdue for a remake. Maybe Big Bad Toy Store or another retailer could sell something from this Retro line, given the recent popularity. Please Hasbro, retool the Cobra A.S.P. for us!

I agree, and hope that they continue to make these Retro vehicle offerings, but the 2020 Cobra F.A.N.G. looks weak compared to the 2008 one, even though the cyclic stick (or “joystick” primary flight control as they called it) is sculpted far better than any previous version. It’ll be interesting to discover other improvements and minor details when we have these in hand.

New nose swivel gun, engine exhaust, rockets, negator bomb, rotor blades, runners without foot pegs, and more. The only parts which may have been reused are the gray seat and the red counter rotator blade inside the tail, but I wouldn’t be surprised if those are new also. It seems as if they couldn’t find the tooling which the Collector’s Club used to have access to in 2009 and 2010, so they decided to start from scratch.

Got a Hiss last week and a SS today. Still many outstanding figs though.

I had two pre-orders. I got my Hiss Tank on the 3rd and my AWE Striker yesterday. The Hiss Tank was ordered on July 17th and the AWE on July 27th. I'm not sure how they went about fulfilling the orders.
