Thanks to HypnoHustler for pointing this out. We can't get a WHALE but this might be a good second tier option.

That looks pretty cool, and the tank part drives out! Someone needs to find this in store and get better pics!

Honestly, that's cooler than the Whale in almost every way. I've always thought the Whale was overrated.

When I realized that was a tank inside there that rolled out, I decided I'm gonna get one of these.

Yes. This is a definite must have. Although I still want to get the parts to repair my old Whale.

I think this will work just fine for me as a new WHALE!

I want a few of these: One as-is, one to paint OD, and one to paint up in Omega Supreme colors. For some reason, it makes me think of OS, and I think it'd be a good update, using the hovercraft in place of the rocket.

That turret screams Omega Supreme

That is pretty sweet looking.

Now I know what I'm gonna be using my rewards points for...

Looking at the box compared to the figures, that thing is huge.

Looking forward to buying it, deciding what I can do to improve it, then putting it in storage and never doing that.

Looking forward to buying it and playing with it while my kids complain that their dad is never gonna grow up.

Wanna see how it looks "unloaded" -- Might be a good base for an Adventure Team custom, carrying a VAMP instead of a tank.

G.I.*JOE fans wanted, Chap Mei listened

I'm wondering what feature was planned then omitted; as represented by the empty orange circle between the detail of the tank driving off the ramp and the open window showing the figures.

The tank looks to be MOBAT-sized, so the cargo area should easily fit a VAMP and a couple RAMs, imho.
