I've always dreamed of a Python hydrofoil, or any other Python vehicle for that matter. As such, I am a hewge fan of Carnage 717's customs. :cool:

But a hundred bones back in the day was like a small fortune for a kid.

Gotta be the Tomahawk all the way. And I always wanted the sweet Cobra Transport Copter that was in the Marvel comics, so I could have a "Copter Off".

And I always had a real softspot for the Warthog.

Hmm
I think I'd go for

Cobra:
Stinger
Flight Pod
Night Landing
CLAW
Snake
Night Raven
Mamba

Joe
Tomahawk maybe a Nightforce Black Version
VAMP
MMS
HAL
FLAK
RAM
Silver Mirage
Night Force or Black Killer WHALE
I have to say the first couple years 82-85 had some pretty cool vehicles. So any of those would be fine by me

That would work well for more Star Wars vehicles, unfortunately as of right now Star Wars toys sell better than Joes (At least that's what most stores think) If they were to base big Joe vehicle sales on the sales of big Star Wars vehicles they could just look at last year's Imperial Shuttle and how well it sold

well, the Newer vehicles will depend on the popularity of the Movie, and the success on the exclusive Target Hiss and Sharc. (SO BUY A LOT OF THEM!!!!) as of right now, they have no other plans to release them. Same deal witht he playsets. if the movie is a hit like Transformrs was, they in late 2009, or 2010, we will see a large resurgence of playsets and figures.

unfortunetly, we wil have to deal with toys based off the movie.

Vamp/Stingers would be welcomed though Not with the newer style Rollbars.
Have the rollbars as the originals.

[Hicks_Royel]

All I really want is a Rattler with Wild Weasel... and maybe an updated [more flexible] version of the S.N.A.K.E. battle armor.

[artiepants]

I'm curious what folks would think of (and since i've never scene them in person, if they'd even work) some of the better modern vehicles redone as 25th anniversary vehicles.

A lot of the modern stuff is a bit too out there for me, but the Humvee is a great example.

looking through YoJoes arcchives, seems like the Patriot Grizzly would be a good neo-M.O.B.A.T.
the Ninja Lighting Cycle could be redeco'd as the Silver Mirage.
The Air Assualt as the C.L.A.W.
lose the OTT quad cannon and the Venom Striker quad could be redon as the Ferret ATV

The Pirahna attack boat doesnt ahve an obvious analog to me, but is a fairly realistic looking vehicle that could be re-used.

(and good grief is most of the modern stuff weird ~ i think it's mostly the abundance of gigantic turrets and huge firing missiles)

I also got rid of tons of vehicles from the 80s, all in great condition and very few missing parts, but I at least got some money for them (far less than they'd all be worth now). However, I also sold all my figures, most in great condition and again very few missing parts and all their file cards. Sold them all in one shot for a few hundred dollars :(


Back on topic, a new Terror Drome would kick ass, but my wife would want to kick mine for buying one.

I'd also like to see for Cobra and other bad guys:

Thunder Machine
Destro's Dominator
Night Raven
Rattler
Stinger
A.S.P.

and for the Joe's:
H.A.V.O.C.
Desert Fox
Rolling Thunder
Mauler M.B.T. (always preferred this over the M.O.B.A.T. since figures fit completely inside the tank)
A.P.C.
Mobile Command Center w Triple T (or another vehicle that fits inside if there is one)
Defiant Space Shuttle Complex
