They're charging essentially $20 per figure for SEvsSS, so if that pricing holds, I can't see why they'd sell a vehicle and a figure for less than the price of 2 figures.

^ Agreed. I'd expect to see $44.99 or $49.99. Especially if there's anything "new" about the Stinger.

Still tripping that this whole thing is even happening. Seems too good to be true.

i never thought the day would come. I got out of collecting years ago when they stopped making o-rings. I never was able to get into the modern stuff. so I only buy vintage for many years.

I mean, I have bought some of every iteration of Joe except for SIGMA 6 (which I think are rad and I almost got a few of them a few times at TRU). Extreme, Sgt. Savage. I'm a Joe man.

BUT - perfectly engineered updates and continuations of the ARAH line? That's my shit!

The wait for the next live stream is going to seem like an eternity. All the stuff Emily and Lenny could deliver:

1. Skystriker update?

2. Ketchup and Mustard surprise?

3. First vehicle reveal?

4. Duke/CC 86 movie intro accessories reveal?

5. More 2-packs revealed?

6. Something unexpected that's not a 2-pack or vehicle?

7. Special guest-related figure?

Have wallets ready and adequately stocked.

Hoping for a great update as well. Like more troop builders. Vipers, Crimson Guards, Televipers, BATs....

Right? I'm trying to keep my expectations tempered, but only a year ago I'd have said o-ring was gone forever, yet here we are. Sky's the limit, let's go all in on this while it lasts!

The Skystriker's success cracked the door. Strong O-ring sales throughout the year can push it open.
