I am really digging the little attention to detail on the vehicles, like the V.A.M.P.   These will fit in nicely with the vintage stuff.

I  am also really digging the new stuff  The Baroness in  the wet suit looks great.   I love the fact that the Weather Dominator and Mass Device are coming. 

The only thing I don't like it the Face on the unknown green dude.

I love the look of this stuff - I really don't want to have to pay shipping and duty on this stuff.

I hope these are in Canada as well. I am getting sick of paying for shipping as well.

I gotta admit, I like it all. Sure some of the molds looks a little odd since they are using wave one parts but in the big picture it's really good. The vehicles look awesome. I love that the RAM finally has handle bars. That has always be a favorite of mine. Vamp looks all new, Hiss looks like the JvsC Hiss and the others looks like old molds with some new parts.

Now I don't mind missing the meet in Texas. My wallet is going to be hurting enough just from all the cool new 25th anniversary stuff. I'm hoping Canada will get all this stuff since Hasbro Canada has said they really want to rev things up for the movie in 2009. Even if the movie isn't what we as die hard fans want, at least we should have a good 2 - 2 1/2 years of new product that we can get in Canada.

I am not sure what to make of the Bat. I still love the original one.  There is some thing weird about the 25th one though.

I'm liking the new BAT. Looks like he has a removable head for battle damage:

But what's with the smashed up clear chest piece? Is that battle damage as well?

Gotta have the VAMP, and a fleet of HISS and trouble bubbles.

It looks like the shovel on the Vamp is removable. That's just cool.
