From GIJCC:

"G.I. JOE H.A.V.O.C. MK-II (Add-On Vehicle purchased separately) will be available in late spring from the GIJCC Store. This 2014 Limited Edition club exclusive vehicle will be $42 + shipping! Based on the colors of the original H.A.V.O.C. driven by CROSS-COUNTRY, this vehicle features an opening canopy, free-rolling wheels, a moveable windshield wiper and hi-velocity X-1 torpedoes. Plus, you can elevate the vehicle's launcher to rotate 360 degrees and fire four missile accessories! [Vehicle will be bagged with accessories and some assembly is required. Cross-Country figure NOT INCLUDED.] The H.A.V.O.C. [Heavy Assault Vehicle Ordnance Carrier] MK-II combines the stamina of a tank with the handling of an off-road vehicle. The result is a machine that makes its own road over tough terrain to battle the evil forces of COBRA."

If I didn't know shipping was gonna be about $18, I may have gotten a little excited.

It's a cool repaint (though I wish they'd given it different side armament than ski torpoedos), but I can pass on it at that price.

Instead of having his own vehicle, Cross Country will make a fine crew member for the Patriot Grizzly I have my Steeler commanding.

Um, does a half-track really have better off road capability than a tank?

Yeah, I'm going to pass too. A green snow cat makes no sense to me. Besides, I'd rather use the money for the VAMP2s and Wolf set coming. Or Green Night Vipers if I can find them. :(

I'm a sucker for half-tracks, so I'm going to have to get one. I always wanted a Snow Cat in OD or tan, so now I get one. I do wish they'd have gone with something besides the ski-pedoes, but that's a minor thing.

I'll try to get one. I'm not crazy about the green color but I love the Snowcat so why not. I won't be shelling out for more than one though, unless they hit discount in a couple years.

I wonder if they'll have these in time for the convention.

If these are at the Con, I'll probably grab one or two... not worth it if I have to pay the Club's shipping prices on top of Club Prices.

In one of their facebook posts, they claimed that photo is a photo of the actual toy, not a photoshop mockup - which means the toys are done. Which means they should have them at the con, if they wanted to sell a bajillion of them.

So which one of you guys is going to cast a set of Havoc cannons that will fit on the ski-pedo pegs?

Alyosha is actually working on it. Saw some pics he posted on Facebook.

The club's prices are enough to kill any interest to purchase one. But... I'm completely okay with this. The design used for the Snow Cat looks more multi-environmental than specific to just an arctic one, so "greening" it makes perfect sense.

I can't think of anything that the club could've thrown in as a substitute for the hovercraft, that would have strengthened the design.

Honestly, I wouldn't count on them being at the convention. In terms of prices from the club, $42 is pretty decent. That is where the they stick you for the $15-18 on shipping. After all, the 2012 convention had a $100 cargo truck and a $75 helicopter and they sold out of those. So why would they sell them at the convention for $42 when they can know they can sell them with overpriced shipping added on to price? If they have any leftover next year, sure they will probably be there. But now? I would be very surprised.

Those are awesome. Hopefully I can get a set sometime down the road.
