The 25th Arctic HISS is selling for $30-40 off of eBay.
For those of you who own it, is it worth it? I already own 4 HISS tanks: 2 blue Target exclusives, 1 black version, and 1 crimson version.

Not worth that price when you can still preorder then on bbts for the whole wave 5 set at $70 plus shipping. I bought a set a few months ago but as soon as they arrived, we got some bad news about our plumbing and a big leak we had. So, they got returned. I have them on preorder and hope they actually come again.
They are really sweet, just not worth $30-$40 in my opinion. But, that's all in the eye of the buyer. |

If your down with Arctic vehicles I guess so.
Personally I'd wait to EE or BBTS gets it back in stock. My favorite feature is the custom numbers and you can get those from cobrastickers.com for $5.

I'm not crazy about it having Stinger style rocket launchers instead of the twin cannons, but other than that its pretty sharp and the Arctic HISS driver is a great figure.

If you can get it for 25 bucks or less i'd say get one. I own 4 of them but bought them for 22 dollars or less each. It has alot of extra stickers and the arctic hiss driver is a solid figure.You can switch the missle turret out with a blue target hiss gun turret if you want it with guns instead of rockets. It also has a cool storage area for extra back packs and weapons that the other hiss tanks lack.

Even though the Stinger's the most popular of the wave, the HISS is definitely worth getting if its not too much.
$25 would be a great price, since thats the Bravo retail. It seems like you're into the HISS design, and this one rocks, with the side accessories and molded headlights. It goes great with the Extreme Conditions set of course, and I love the driver. He's one of my favorite kitbashes, I love how he and the vehicle look like some forgotten set from '83. The Stinger missles do seem hazardous to the gunner, and I don't care for how loosely they fit on, but they keep it a little different from the other HISSes. |

Don't believe the haters on this one. If you like the different HISS tanks then this one is for you. It looks really good out of the package and is an excellent variation on the classic vehicle. Long live the 25th anniversary line!

Its a great vehicle.I bought all 4 of mine from BBTS, but if you dont want to buy the case its worth $30. $40 might be pushing it.Its way better than the 2003 HISS imo and pepole try to sell thst for $30 or $40 so its just a matter of if it is worth it or not too you.

I'd pay $25 bucks, but probably not more. It is an awesome vehicle to be sure.
