Does a Strato Viper pilot that lil drone thing that rides the back of it? On anther note why didn't Hasbro release army builder drivers on single cards back in the day? |

They did do the mail ins for a long time. Lampreys motor vipers stratos and a few others could be bought cheap and usually in groups. |

If a kid wanted a driver figure, they had to purchase the more expensive vehicle that went with him. Want Sgt Slaughter (and hadn't mailed away for him)? - buy the Triple T. It's more economics than anything, I would assume. Sure back in the day you could have sold several Hiss Drivers if they were single carded, but you could have made more money by selling them with a vehicle (you wouldn't even have to sell as many of the figure). Plus the vehicle helped sell the figure just as much as the figure helped sell the vehicle. |

That's precisely it. If someone was just into figures, they never would've needed to have bought a vehicle, and Hasbro didn't want THAT to happen. As stated, some vehicle drivers were offered later through mail order. But I think the reason vehicle drivers were never carded was two-fold. The figure in the vehicle box was a little bonus to buy the vehicle, and it was also the ONLY way to get the figure. So it was a two-fold approach to sell the more expensive items. |
