How is Bumble Striker already sold out?

Never been a fan of the AWE striker, but man - that is a really cool set.

White timber with another Snake Eyes? Actually, that set looks cool too.

Considering the gun he comes with, I’m guessing Cobra Commander won’t have the back you can store the weapon on. But of a bummer.

Cover girl is definitely a pre-order.

*taps fingers on desk*
still waiting for Hound as VAMP
this one does nothing for me as it should have been Beachcomber or Sandstorm

I'm happy that the retro-Retro line exists, but I've also been happy that it wasn't something I felt I needed to buy. But damn it, that Stalker-transforming AWE Striker set is just too much fun to pass up. I ordered one, and I'm really looking forward to it. I didn't expect to be buying a Transformer or an O-ring figure when I woke up today, but life finds a way.

More preorders today. Retro Oring Cobra Stinger is live.

For Classified, Tiger Force Duke and RAM are up as Target exclusives…supposedly. Expect them to appear and disappear for the next couple of weeks.

Did the TF Duke set actually go up for preorder? They haven't been announcing Classified figures and releasing the preorder on the same day. They were showing off the pretty pictures then doing the preorder the next day. Only thing mentioned in my email was the Stinger set (which I got a couple of because reasons)

_________________

I guess they no longer have the 25th Stinger mold?
or they just went ahead and made a new one just for the retro foot pegs???

This was from the marketing team email the Joe news sites got. The Pulse link leads to a 404 error now.

_________________

Yeah I read reports that they said it would be up "at a later date" so you had me worried I missed it. I think its later this month, next week maybe?

Considering we have been told most if not all of the original ARAH tooling was scrapped I would imagine this is a retool of the 25th tooling, at least the rear bumper piece. But they could have also tooled up a whole new vehicle too. They are doing that for the figures so who knows.

_________________

Oh it is totally a new tooling!
There is no removable shovel on the hood. Plus the headlights are stickers again.
Someone theorized they may have lost all the 25th/modern molds now.

They may have had to make new tools to work with modern injection machines. Considering the newest ARAH tooling (other than Club parts) would be what, 20 years old? Make sense they’d have to update them. Steel doesn’t last forever especially if it has just been sitting in a warehouse for decades.

The Classified 6" sclae HISS HasLab is live. $299 with only the HISS driver revealed so far and mention of a "Tactician" if they hit 8000 backers by July 6th, but I'm sure more unlocks are coming.

More details from the press release.

*Battery-Powered Interior and Exterior LED lighting: Includes vision lights, interior cockpit heads-up display, headlights, fog lights, rear Cobra convoy lights and the Cobra Insignia Beacon.

*Functioning wheels with moving treads: Rotating sprockets and wheels spin as the treads roll forward or backward.

*Elaborately-detailed command cockpit interior: The Cobra H.I.S.S. Driver Action Figure sits buckled with a 5-point harness adorned with Cobra logo before an illuminated control panel. You can pose the figure operating the articulated joystick and throttle controls while targeting Joe combatants.

*“Gull-wing” Canopy: The vehicle comes with features “gull wing” functioning doors with independent right and left sides that lift from center hinges allowing the Driver to enter from either side of the H.I.S.S.

*Rear Cargo Bay: The rear personnel platform provides standing room for additional troops who can be posed holding the functional handrails. Below that is a retractable tow hitch on the rear of the vehicle. The center of the personnel platform flips up allowing the rear cargo door to drop.

*Removable armor plating skirt: The Cobra H.I.S.S. comes with a removable armor plating skirt detail with reactive armor to provide extra protection for the road wheels

*Extendable cockpit boarding ladders: Flip-down boarding ladders descend from each side of the H.I.S.S. granting the Driver easier access to the cockpit
