If you could choose just one large vehicle or playset to be made for the 25th line which would it be?

I know this is unlikely to happen, just wanted to see everyone's opinion...;)

My wallet doesn't want any big vehicles/playsets...

My heart wants a Terrordrome.

Realistically, an AWE Striker is about as big as I think we'll see.

I can so relate to all of that. :D

LOL! I want a Rattler. :)

Or a radio control Mobat.

I think I'd rather have larger boxed sets of smaller vehicles. Like a Flight Pod and C.L.A.W. set that includes three Cobra troopers and a Officer.

USS Flagg!!!!!!

I would drop $300 on a new one.

(I can dream, can't I?)

I second that!!

Mark my words- in 2008, we will see some vehicle and/or playset. I just gotta think this release has been too succesful to not do something. May not be a jumbo set but something like the AWE Striker, Rattler, Hiss, even Mobat, Slugger or Wolverine are in.

The operators of those vehicles are just too critical to the joe storyline to omit- Wild Bill, Ace, Cover Girl, Steeler, Wild Weasel, etc.

I have to add another vote for the Flagg! Never had it as a kid, would love to have it now. I think Bermuda might be on to somthing with the smaller vehicles type of pack tho. That would be sweet to get a trouble bubble, claw, and even possibly a fang in some kind of three pack. I think I would be willing to pay 30-40 bucks for that. But again all possible pipe dreams. Oh well no one said we can't dream!:D

A Fang 3-pack... now that would be nifty...

Why hasn't anyone suggested the VAMP yet?

We, adult collectors, can spend that amount of money on a large playset, the problem is the kids...few parents would buy a $300 plus toy nowadays.

Back to our dreams...:D

I'd like to see a retooled Rolling Thunder or Thunderclap

I'd vote Terror Drome because it's big, but not super massive. I wouldn't mind seeing the Defiant either.

The VAMP was available at the con. Besides, they have already ruined it with all of the retooling that was done to it.

Umm, yeah. The AWE Striker and HISS have already been announced, along with a new SHARC.

Also, as an adult, some of my enthusiasm for the FLAGG has waned. :(

It's a problem of scale and aesthetics. I just can't look at it without thinking it is silly. Only 3 Skystrikers will fit on it at the most.

Remember how it was seven and a half feet long? In order to be in proper scale (1:18) It would have to be seven and a half feet WIDE, and a wopping FIFTY FOUR feet long! :eek::eek::eek:

The Cobra HISS.

If 2, the HISS and the Rattler.

Alright expect your invite within the next few weeks. Also please note that the Skystrikers will be grounded for the night. :)

I gotta give a big amen, to that, brotha. I've been screaming for one (you may have heard me in the Highland) for years.

The one that looks like this.

... just to be different, I really, really want them to give us an F-15 clone. Please?

... 2nd choice, a T-84 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/T-84) clone for Cobra.

EDIT: I realise this is the 25th anniversay, but really, both these things should have been in the Joe line back in the 80s ...

Yes, well, as I stated in my "upgrade the tech" thread, I would love a new upgraded Skystriker based on the F22 Raptor, but it should probably wait until after the 25th anniversary. (Maybe it will be in the movie! :eek:)

I would be more than satisfied with one like this:

Well I actually am hoping we get a new playset more than any vehicle...we could always use more of those, as long as it's not a Star Wars rehash like the COBRA Mountain set.

Assuming they do 25th worms...give him a zepplin. I want my cobra zepplin for my jetpack troopers!

Oh yeah and any of the IG vehicles.

A new playset would be my choice over any vehicle for sure.
I mean Cobra never really got a decent base or anything, and the Cobra mountain set is just a joke.

The transport chopper would be awesome! Ever since the story in the 2nd yearbook I have been hoping they would make one.

I am happy with lots of smaller vehicles. I don't think I would have enough room for any large vehicles or playsets.:(
