I just got a Cobra Hurricane. That was the last vehicle I was actively hunting down. The only other vehicle even on the radar is a WHALE and I've passed on a complete ones in great condition for $30. So, it isn't exactly that high of a priority.

lets...see....

The Mudbuster, Detonator, and that 6 wheeled Lanard vehicle & Space Shuttle are the only vehicles i need to completely replace all the vehicles I lost back in 2000.

_________________

I have most of the early Joe vehicles (1982-1986) that I want (except I'm still missing a Dragonfly). I'm mostly looking for some later ones: Tiger Force, Slaughter's Marauders.

I bought a Tiger Fly over the Holidays, I was happy like a pig in sh!t. Now I'm looking for a Tiger Cat to go with it. I'm also hoping someone will come through with a Target Tiger Rat for me.

I have an Equalizer, but I would go nuts for a Lynx! I'll probably end up picking up a Marauders Armadillo eventually as well.

OB

I don't think I want a rattler that badly, lol.


Complete whales go for 30 bucks? Wow, I always thought they were much much more expensive.

For the longest time, I had found Myself wanting the Bugg. I figured I would never find it, as I had never even seen one in person. One day shortly before the 08 'Con, I randomly found a 25% complete shell at a Thrift store. Thanks to a few people on here scouting parts for each other at the con, I completed it , save for two black pieces......

Now That I have that, I would probably be looking for the mail in Vamp II....Or the Canadian Mobat

_________________

Actually, my wants got very much sated when Chief hooked me up with the drones from the ROCC. Everything about those buggers scream Battlestar Galactic sweetness. Sadly, I am more in the area of having to sell vehicles than acquire them. Anyone need a MonsterBlaster APC colored OD to look like the one from ALIENS?

There is one piece, not Joe but I did see it made by either Chap Mei or Blue Box, was a nice large submarine, with a cutaway side where you could see each room from the bridge to the torpedo bay. They were around two Xmases ago and then never again. Should have snagged one then, but couldn't. The stickers were hokey, but nothing serious paint and lenticular additions couldn't fix. That beauty was the closest we are ever going to get to a submarine for the Joes. I know they put one out with sound effects with the '60's GIJOE logo, but it was scaled for the 1" figures it came with.

Check Target, K-Mart and TRU around the holidays...they usually rerelease this submarine in their 'generic toys' section every year.

I'd love to replace my broken-down WHALE someday - you can only fix so many busted peices before it becomes too fragile to play with

Other than that, I would't mind finding a Hammerhead for a reasonable price (which, based on eBay trends, isn't likely to happen) and I've recently began looking for an Avalanche. A Hurricane would be pretty cool too, but that's about it for me.

I found the shell of one of those for a buck once, gave it to deathwing.

I couldn't get over how huge it was.

_________________

While there are a lot of cool vehicles I don't have, I find myself less and less drawn to them.

My last big want was a Condor, which thanks to afriend is waiting for me in Canada.

_________________

The obvious one for me is a Defiant: I had a chance to get one back in 1990 or thereabouts for $25 on clearance at a Children's Palace, and even though it wasn't my call to pass it up (my parents refused on the grounds that it took up too much space), I still think about that one. I'd love to get one now, but ironically, it would take up too much space. I should call my folks and tell them that they were right.

A couple of others:

-The Cobra Night Landing: I've never had one, and I always liked it. Not difficult to find or expensive, but one that I won't go out of my way to get, either (mainly because they're not expensive or hard to find). Someday I'll be in the right place at the right time.

-Checkpoint Alpha: same thing as the Night Landing. I love this thing, and I'd love to have a couple of them. I'll find one sooner or later.

-The Cobra BUGG: I just like the damn thing. I don't know why, but I just think it's cool. Another easy one to find.

-Most of the Battleforce 2000 vehicles: again, no reason other than that I kind of like them. I've always wanted a Vindicator and an Eliminator, and I wouldn't mind a Marauder, Sky Sweeper, and Vector, either.

I'd love to finish off my Whale first of all.....just a missile box, 4 missiles, and two fans left.
Also a few other I would like to own are Cobra Hurricane, Cobra Stinger, Havoc, whirlwind, Night Raven to replace one that got stolen, Dragonfly to replace one that got stolen, and a lot more to numerous to list.

Just some observations over some of the things mentioned.

Hammerhead, sold one off years ago and was surpized how disapointing a vehicle it was, had a bunch of exterior stuff but all in all was kind of boring otherwise.

BF2000 Vehichles I forgot about, I have always said I will have the fortress someday LOL Haven't been trying as hard on those though. I have like half of them.

Checkpoint alpha is like one of my fav little peices ever. Its just cool in its simplicity and tons of fun to take apart as if a bomb went off under it or something (as its designed to come apart, which is why a complete one is hard to find). The cobra bunker is another, simple design and easy to store.

Night Landing was cool for all the accessories that came with it (Shovel Radio ect) plus I loved the mounted gun on the front too.

whale, I like it but when I was a kid I thought it woukd be more solid, when I completed mine 3 years ago I was kind of disapointed cause it was so flimsy, not enough to get rid of it though.

Tiger force has been hit and miss for me, The tiger cat was stolen, then I got an incomplete one in a lot, Used it to repair another incomplete one. Now I have it again complete (minus one snowpeddo that I ended up useing from the old vehicle pack).
I have a Tiger Fly with Dragonfly skids I painted to match. I got the Mocc last year but was missing the cover (found one later). Even had the torpedo.

I finally hooked up with a Lynx about 2 years ago, It is one of the odder tanks, but I like it alot.

Hurricane is probably my fav plane of the joe line, I suppose due to lack of exposer. I've had one since it came out and loved it. Condor is one I piecemeild together, took me almost a year, still missing the round stablizer on the back though.

Yeah I have a ton of vehichles.

I'm pretty much set on vehicles now, other than trying to complete various things with broken or missing parts. The one vehicle I am still most interested in is that sweet purple Snow Cat from the Street Fighter line. That thing is [LASER BLAST]'. I also wouldn't say no to a AF Water Moccassin, but I am well aware how far out of my price range that is.

I still have never owned a set of blue SNAKE armor, but it's never been a priority for me to seek out, so I guess I can live without.

For GI Joes:

Whale - one day. But, have never put that much effort into getting it
Night Raven - still kicking myself from the 2007 convention when I saw one, said "I be back to get it in one second" and it was gone

On the more extreme level - a ~1/18 scale RC helicopter.
