They haven't announced any others but from what I understand if these do well they'd like to do more. I can see a HISS I and HISS IV (DTC) as a larger pack but can't think of anything smaller that would work.

I was thinking HISS myself (and I think the DTC one was actually unofficially the HISS V if you count the Strike HISS as the HISS IV, but why quibble?). Personally, I'd LOVE to see that DTC HISS return. No offense to the original HISS, but that DTC HISS is extremely impressive.

Unfortunately, the DTC HISS hasn't been part of the 25th-style line, whereas the original HISS has, so I sort of wonder whether Hasbro would be willing to use it.

Doing a Night Raven as was suggested would probably be WAY too big and expensive. I don't really see that happening.

The only other contenders off the top of my head would be the VAMP or Stinger, but I doubt they've changed enough from their original versions to warrant a "Past and Present" set.

And Suburbanator, that's a cool story about taking your original Snow Job skiing with you. But come on, you know you really want him back with this Target set. Don't worry about the others for now. This is your chance to get a really cool, clean Snow Job.

And heck, I live in Tucson. How much snow do you think mine's going to see?

They could technically do a Silver Mirage and that new motorcycle with side car. They could do the old sub and the new SHARC that's coming out.

They could do that new Steel Crusher and a Stinger.... That would be pretty sweet. But for the record, I'll be extremely suprised if there are ANY other offerings.

Yeah I really don't think there will be others. It seems like a half baked idea like a lot of the others and it'll never be followed through. This item may have only been a back up plan to get us collectors into the movie toys. Had we not bought the line it would have been a "see, it's ok for you to like these toys" type of thing. Since a large portion of us did like the movie toys, they figured they'd just put it out there anyway since it will sell.

Well, I've completed my Original 13 characters, Snow Job and Tripwire are the only guys I need to finish the next 10...

Hasbro said they planned on doing more sets, but that they would be figures, not vehicles.

Seen these today for the big sale. I passed on them because I named this as an item for Christmas. I don't have anything I really want, so I figure this was good as a gift for my wife or mom to get me.

That WOULD be easier to accomplish. Here's hoping this set sells well enough to warrant them!

I picked this set up the other day, and I'm wondering one thing...

The Polar Battle Bear's boxart shows Frostbite in the seat, not Snow Job. Was Hasbro planning a 25th Polar Battle Bear with Frostbite at some point?

That sounds like a Q&A question that wouldn't get answered lol...

Probably the same thing as having Breaker riding the RAM Cycle even though Rock 'n' Roll was the one who used it most in the comics. Its just a cool image.

I could see them doing a classic Fang and a newer one(possably the Spytroops version) or the Buzz Boar and the Mole Pod! That would be kinda cool!
