Got mine today. Love all the vehicles and most of the figures, but I'm really disappointed in Outback. He's gangly and goofy looking.

got mine today as well.

surprise in the pack was the Hiss. tha added head light and other bits really should hve been on some of the other releases.

ditto on the HISS decals, about time they let you number your own HISS. I'm a little saddened by the size of the Trubble Bubbles bomb that came with the CLAW though.

Well, they JUST arrived. UPS just departed, and I have my Arctic HISS and Cobra Stinger (rather ironic that an arctic vehicle gets delivered on the hottest day we've had so far this year, if my porch thermometer -- presently registering 105 degrees -- can be trusted).

Haven't opened them yet, but I am impressed! The Stinger looks great, and the Arctic HISS is VERY impressive. I even like how they designed the driver, combining a HISS Driver helmet with a Snow Serpent body.

Unfortunately I had pile of loot on and didn't realize it. I just turned it off and told it to ship this order. I thought it got canceled on me or something since I hadn't seen my order yet.

UPS guy just dropped mine off. I didn't really think about how big the box was going to be. For some reason knowing I was getting 3 Arctic HISS, 3 Stingers and 4 FLAK/CLAW sets didn't add up spatially in my head. It is a big box. But I won't get to play with them until tomorrow afternoon. I do love the look of the HISS though. Very cool. Can't wait to crack them all open and set up an arctic dio on one of my shelves.

Seriously, did EVERYONE get these from BBTS? Crappy Entertainment Earth! Grrr!

Uhm yup

Nope, SmallJoes started shipping first, then BBTS. When pre-orders first showed, EE was shipping a month after BBTS(who was supposed to have shipped in March, but shipped April), so EE should start shipping in July.

I had my one order from Smalljoes, but my credit card company changed me card on me after I placed my preorder and rejected the charge. So no HISS or Stinger for me.

I'm late to the party.....anyplace still have these in stock?

I only opened two of them so far.


CLAW - The mini Trouble Bubble bomb (called a camera on the blue print) was an interesting addition. If this was sold on its own I'd feel cheated but getting it with the Strato Viper and Flak with Outback it almost feels like it is a bonus. Stickers don't stay on. Probably the cheap plastic they used. Strato Viper is nice. I was hoping he would be as cool in hand as he looks and I wasn't disappointed. Mine couldn't hold the pistol they gave him. I separated his trigger finger with an x-acto and cut off the trigger so he could hold it.

FLAK - Just as cool as the original with a little bit more color details. Pretty good. Feels lighter than I remember. Outback was the whole reason to get this entire wave of vehicles. I don't mind the smaller frame. A guy like him should like like he's a triathlete anyway and he could very well be on the end of one of his extended survival missions. What I don't like is that he can't hold his gun. Also, while the flash light can detach it doesn't look like it was made to. It has two weird arrow shaped pegs that attach to the leg.

HISS - I only opened this one last night because the box got crushed and I was worried the missile rack might have been damaged. Eveything was fine. I like this version of the HISS a lot. Glad I didn't get more of the DTC HISS when they went on sale. Also, customizable stickers a great addition on Hasbro's part. The figure is good. Great details. The weapons are lacking but nothing I can't replace. My one complaint is that with all of the extra snow gear on he's a little cramped in the cockpit. Not knees to his chest cramped but he needs to be in just right or the canopy won't close.

Tonight I'll open the Stinger.

Good Lord, and I thought the box size for ONE Stinger and ONE HISS was fairly large. A box THAT big could be the foundation for an extra room!

COOL! I was completely unaware of this and when I read it, I opened the box immediately. I'll probably do something unimaginative like use the same number that the tank pictured on the package shows, but this is pretty awesome. Now I really wish I'd gotten more than one of these tanks...

And Pluv, that DTC HISS still rocks. Coolest design ever in my opinion, but I have no problem whatsoever with the original, and I love this arctic variant.

Opened all mine today. The Arctic HISS is awesome! I moved the tarp and carry basket forward a notch so they aren't blocking the Cobra sigil on the back end. The Driver is pretty cool and even though I want to swap out his webgear I think he looks good as is too.

The Stinger looks great. Glad I got three and even though the Driver is a tight fit getting in he fits well and looks good. I need to try swapping out the factory AK for a Marauder AK since that's what all my Cobra troops are armed with.

The FLAK is a pleasant blast from the past. I remember using it for a phaser as a kid (cuz the base broke on me) and also using it for my standard base defense weapon. The footrests are too close to be of use if you want the figure to sit all the way down in the seat but other than that this is a nice set.

The CLAW looks really good in red. And the Stratoviper (quit kidding yourselves Hasbro, that's what he is) looks surprisingly good flying it. The bombs and mine are great pieces that I wish I had extras of.

I never had Outback as a kid and have no real affinity for him. He looks cool but of the 4 I got all of the leg straps were warped from sitting in the FLAK. I can fix it with hot water but still kinda sucky right out of the box. The rest of him looks good and that head may make for some nice Rock 'n' Roll fodder for my Rock 'n' Roll Army.

I apologize if I missed this in this thread or one of the previous ones about these, but do these figures come with stands?
