That's insanely cheap... I'm thinking more like $20 a pop?

Never mind... I see at other sites they're reporting $9.99... damn, that's CHEAP!

Hell, for $10 I might just buy them just for the figures and get rid of the vehicles.

Hmmm... maybe we can work out a deal.  I'm interested in several HISS tanks perhaps, but might not need the drivers.

Let me know, I am not going to keep my Hiss tank either, but want the driver (or 3 or 4)

I might just pick up a few of the tanks (if they're really $10) and let you both know if I have any drivers available.   I'm thinking that since I like the gray uniform driver those would be what I'd use for these.

Speaking of vehicles, TBI has some loose pics up of the upcoming vehicle two packs (and single packs) coming this summer.  Nothing new (these were announced at Toy Fair), but there's some nice pics of some of them if anyone is interested.  I keep telling myself I don't need to get into vehicles in this line, but its tempting - especially the Trouble Bubble pack :).

I thought we were getting a corrected Serpentor with his chariot?  Also why is Hasbro already repainting vehicles?  Perhaps the black H.I.S.S. will be packed with another Snake Eyes  ???

I checked the computer today and the Andover, Brooklyn Park and Crystal stores in Minnesota have 3 cases of the vehicles in the backroom.  I only checked one are of the city so maybe other stores have them too.  These aren't street dated.  The 4/13 date is when the aisle gets revised to fit these and other new toys.

Looks like I'll need to expand my Saturday monrning toy run by a bit.  No dice here on the East side.

Found the Joe vehicles at a local Target after being lied to by the customer service rep.  Also scored two Cobra Night Watch packs on the way home.

Nice! Good to hear they're being found. Not so cool about being lied to, but that's service for ya.  :(

I still can't believe that these things are only $9.99 a piece.  The figures sell for $5.99 so you get an extra vehicle for $4 more?  Doesn't make sense at all to me, but I'm not complaining.   :)     

I'm REALLY hoping that Hasbro has more plans in store for some of the larger vehicles/jets before I start going crazy on eBay.

Wave 8 images stolen from some ebay seller:




I like Roadblock and Snake Eyes. I'm not keen on the little blurbs on the top right corner in lieu of the 25th logo.
