Post subject:  Skysweeper and Sting Raider found at retail

Stopped into a Meijer and found the Skysweeper jet, Sting Raider and the Cycle with Beach Head and Barrel Roll.

Meijer wanted 17.99 each, so i passed and wait unitl I find them a bit cheaper.

The Skysweeper looks awesome, the Sting Raider is just another rehash, but the Aqua Viper with his red-tinted Lamprey helmet looked awesom. I am going to pass on the Rollbar, Beachhead and cycle though.

Sorry no pics, I may go back tommorow as they has Rebel Pilot evolution on clearance for 10.99, they had two packs, so if somebody wants one, let me know.

Right now all I can wonder is...

Can Flash and the Aqua-Viper's heads be swappable?

Yes! Good thinking there. I have had Flash and an Ebay Aqua Viper sitting next to each other for a few weeks and never thought of doing that.

The Flash helmet is too small for the Aqua Viper head to look good. The Lamprey helmet is a little loose on the Flash head but is workable.

Can had pics please?

It's an odd thing that the 7-pack Lamprey has a molded helmet, and the Aqua-Viper guy has a molded head and removable helmet. Does the visor come off this version, or is it one molded piece? I would love to be able to have all my Lamprey have removable helmets.

What the hell is the driver of a boat wearing a rebreather helmet for anyway? Anyone ever think about what this figure is really meant to do?

I dunno....the Skysweeper looks nice in crimson...I just can't see myself buying it. Picked it up a couple times...only to set it back down. Guess I am finally getting into that whole "there are certain vehicles that are joe/cobra only" mentality....plus the price point doesn't help with that either.
