thanks.

i'm partial to the HISS though, one of my all time favorite tank designs and one of my fav. vehicles in G.I. Joe. Never can have too many.

I was partial to the HISS as we as a kid but once I got it back in the day I really didn't like it since it was almost just a black block but the HISS driver makes up for that totally!

Re: GI JOE 25th Anniversary

To me, the driver of the HISS is unimportant. All that matters is that Major Bludd mans the huge turret! I love that vehicle, too. The only current Joe vehicles I have displayed are a black HISS, the Rattler, and Trouble Bubble. I must dislike the Joes. I really hope we still get the Stinger.

Yeah, but there was some news last week that some retailer (Entertainment Earth?) canceled the pre-orders, saying that this wave was canceled. Whether it is being postponed, or whether vehicle sales are down, meaning that it won't be released, is unclear. Maybe there has been further news?

I live in a town where nothing stays on the shelves, but I did see 2 Rattlers in person (picked up one) a couple months ago--or whenever it was that they first came out. Since then, a stray Conquest here or there, no Rattler. I would say your chances depend on whether you have a lot of Joe collectors living in your town or not.

Both jets were on the shelves of my Target last night, so hopefully you'll have good luck!

Bridge Layer
Ferret ATV
Mauler (one can only hope)

Re: GI JOE 25th Anniversary

I picked up a Cobra Eel yesterday, looks just okay, I would've liked a much more accurate sculpt. He's basically Torpedo with a new head, forearms, helmet, shoulder pads, and backpack.

Re: GI JOE 25th Anniversary

I love the Snow Cat and the Ice Wolf (I would kill for a 25th Ice Viper).

I bought an original WHALE last year right after the 25th line came out, just to display the Joes with it That was the ONE vehicle I always wanted as a kid but never was able to get.

I loved that vehicle.
I had actually bought two of the first release, one from the store when they first came out and one from a friend ten years later. Don't know what happened to the first one, I think my mom threw it away. the second one I had to sell in a move.

Out of all the Vehicles from GI. Joe, The only one I really want them to make for the 25th Anniv. line is the Killer Whale, it doesn't even need any updates, it was that damn good. I hope Hasbro does someday.

Re: GI JOE 25th Anniversary

My Target used to be decent in carrying the Joes but all they have now is the MASS DVD pack and some scattered figures.

I did just get in the Cobra diver and Ninja (didn't know Cobra had ninjas).



Just an fyi, but I just put some figures on sale for this weekend: https://store.darkshadowcollectibles.com/gijoe.html

Re: GI JOE 25th Anniversary

Black Friday was worth it this year. Not only did I get a Sony Blu Ray player for around $150, but went to Target and found Cobra Eel, the new Zartan and Matt Trakker!

The only thing that sucks is Target has raised their Joe prices to $7.99.

Nice score on the Blu Ray player (I am still trying to convince the wife I need one).

Most of the retailers are raising the prices so I started buying cases (of course it does give me extras) so I get the ones I want at a decent price.
