Or love the figures but hate the vehicle?
How many times did you love the vehicle but not want the figure or vice versa? I remember I loved W.O.R.M.S. but didn't like the Maggot. I loved the Firebat & A.V.A.C. but didn't really care for the Terrordrome. I love the Thunderclap, Rolling Thunder & The General but I think the figures that came with them suck! I want the new Nitro Viper but I'm not interested in the Steel Crusher. I want the new Swamp Viper but have no interest in the Sting Raider or another Copperhead. Every time there's a 5 or 7 pack there's only 1 or 2 figures I want out of it. How bout you? Last edited by Steelgrave; 02-05-2010 at 05:22 PM.. |

It never bothers me when a vehicle I want has a figure I don't want, but it is really annoying when there is a figure that I really want in a vehicle I'm not all that interested in. Perfect example would be Tele Vipers coming with a Trouble Bubble, RAM, and Breaker. I want more then one Tele Viper, but one is plenty for all the other stuff.

Well, let me know if you get either the Steel Crusher or the Sting Raider. I'll totally buy your Crusher and Raider w' Copperhead as I've got no Copperhead and want both of those vehicles.

This has been VERY true for the entire RoC line, and looks to carry into the PoC line. Thunder comes with a repainted Armadillo. The Mole Pod was "ok" but a repainted Croc Master (ironically, the next Mole Pod will come out with a figure I want but really don't want another Mole Pod!). I could go on with this, but any time I get a vehicle with a repainted figure, it is likely that I really just wanted the vehicle.

I remember it being the same when I was a kid. I used to want every single figure, but vehicles were hit and miss.

for me...I don't like vehicles period of they don't come with figures. and as a parent buying for a child...I'd be more likely to buy the vehicle if it came with a figure as well. |

Yeah, I feel y' on that. With the more recent vehicles being produced under the ROC theme, I would like actual ROC inspired figures. Case in point, I do like the figures that come with the Steel Crusher, Mole Pod and Rhino and the verdict is still out on Frostbite with the Ice Dagger.

Another dislike is [not to do with the vehicles] keeping on-screen accuracies. Like for instance; the two Scarlett figures. The reactive armor Scarlett in film wears her hair in a ponytail, while the pitt Scarlett wears her hair down. Plus it would have been nice to have paris pursuit Snake Eyes figure in his white suit, not his ninja modified (missing skirt) coat.

Reeeeeally didn't need another Copperhead, but got one anyway with the TRU Sting Raider. The Swamp Viper wasn't exactly a win either, but with the Res Trooper arms at least he's a little different.
