Is it possible this latest Stinger raised the roof to fit 4" figures? Or were the newer ones like that already?

Honestly surprised we didn't get the Mindbender pre-order today. Probably next week along with the HasLab reveal.

The vintage production model had the raised roof. As Sataninjaku pointed out, the vintage box used a prototype for the photo. The VAMP Mk.2 was the same.

Not sure what to make of the pipeline reveals lacking A-listers. Were all the A-listers already made?
I could use a V1 Firefly, Quick Kick. |

Same boat, I reckon. This has gotta end somewhere for me and this feels like it. I've been petering out naturally, I think, so it'll be nice to end it sort of how it began. I'm even picking and choosing like I did as a kid, only this time it's not because I have to due to a lack of my own funds, but because I want to.
I am glad to enjoy this o-ring revival with the equally enthusiastic folks here. It's a fun escape from the day to day existence we all go through. |

I know what you mean. I hit 40 last month, have 3 young kids. I know my disposable income stream is getting less by the year and my family is my priority. I'll certainly ride this wave of 40th anniversary o-ring nostalgic as far as it Hasbro takes it but once it dries I up I can't envision getting back into the collecting again in 5-10 years. For Hasbro this is o-ring line is 95% targeted to us before we totally age out of collecting for nostalgia purposes. Eventually we will get the same treatment as the 12" collectors that preceded us which is fine. That's my pragmatic take on it. At the same time I am eating up the nostalgia as it is being fed to me

^ Someone should point out to wehrmanm that the '84 shows the prototype on the box, I'm 90% certain he has me on his ignore list and I'd hate to see mis-info go unchallenged. The clues are the two-part rockets (from the missile PAC-Rat), the more pronounced curve on the grill bar, and the lack of a shovel on the hood (unmodified VAMP body).
The new box does show the OG set. Knowing is half the battle, after all. Yeah, ignore feature.. woo |

For the Stinger Driver in the photo, he's grey, which makes it really hard to tell. The right (his right) rivet looks like painted PVC cap, but his left not so much. So perhaps it is the original. Again: huh.

My ideal solution would be to replace the quote with a button labeled "Quoted text from blocked user {NAME}", where clicking it just unhides the one quote instead of everything. But I don't know if that's possible, or if the admins here are even looking to upgrade at the moment. |

If it was, I would have purchased two. As is, my 25th is just fine.
