Wonder if the Rattler is going to be the plane or the jeep? It would make sense to re-paint the new VAMP as a Rattler (similar to the TRU exclusive w/Vypra), but if they're thinking they can use the old Rattler plane mold for 25A figs, they must be gnuts.

I don't think so because I recall Hasbro saying earlier that we were getting the Stinger (or Cobra VAMP as it was called). They didn't lose the Stinger name did they? I see the Rattler jet being a better bet for this particular exclusive. You'd think if they were going to release the Stinger as the Rattler they'd call it Rattler 4WD or Rattler Jeep. Either way I'll get one. I'm a whore for vehicles.

Y'know what would be AWESOME? If Hasbro repainted the Mauler in blue as the Shredder and released it for $20 at retail.

What? Too soon?

Who cares about that blue peice of crap. I want my green Mauler, and a tan one ofcourse.

As long as it's not ANOTHER Mobat.

God I'm sick of those things. Thankfully, some one came along and took every last one I had for sale last week.

You need some MOBATs?! I can hook you up!! :lol:

I think it would be great if Hasbro and MC worked together on the whole Mauler project. Hasbro could release the tan Mauler at mass retail, and a year or two from now the club could re-visit the green Mauler/blue Shredder as a convention add-on for a past set. Or just as an exclusive thru the club during the year, that works with a past set.

WHY let the club have a exclusive like the Mauler again since they refused to fix it in the first place. Thats just so full of PHAIL its not funny. Then they'd up the price by 3X and then another 1X for shipping. Thats just full of PHAIL IMO. If the Club were smart in the first place they would have fixed it. I think :hasbro:

should not let the Club touch anything they didn't want to fix and later down the road :hasbro:

does. That would teach them a lesson for not fixing it in the first place.

While I INTENSELY dislike Master Collector and have no desire to see them get an exclusive Mauler, I can understand why they didn't fix it the mold.

For all their bluster, Master Collector is a small company that only has so much capital available. Paying for a new turret tooling would have probably bankrupted them and at the very least would have caused a great increase in price of future stuff to make the money back.

No, selling it before they had it in hand was the stupid move, not refusing to fix the mold once it broke.

Are we getting a new Mauler?
