I guess I'm digging the Tomahawk, but really, how much more old stuff do we want? I mean, anything we're dying for that we got back in the day? Moray? I mean, it just seems kind of...boring after awhile to keep cranking out the classics. I'd rather they put the thought into putting out a modern vehicle with all the bells and whistles. My major hope is that recreating these old toys is helping them get the hang of it again....
I see your point, and I can see where some collectors might find it tedious, but I also remember when the 25th Anniversary vehicles came out, how many people were screaming for a new Tomahawk, and how loudly they were doing it. Every Q&A, somebody asked for a new tomahawk, a new Flagg, and a new Terrordrome. Every Q&A, Hasbro said "There's no money to do that." Well, the Joe team got some of that sweet, sweet movie tie in money, and they managed to make one of the vehicles that fans had been asking for. I really hope this thing sells well at retail, and I don't mean clearance, so that the Joe team sees that we really will buy the stuff we beg them for. Moreover, I hope it sells well so that we can continue to get Joe Vehicles larger than alpha class of ANY kind.
I personally am very excited for the Eaglehawk (stupid-ass name aside) because I didn't manage to get one the first time, and haven't picked up one up since I became an adult collector.
