Thanks for the link.

I'm not totally blown away just yet. I know I don't care for the car or playset. The Indy car is NOT worth $34.00 (not when I bought one from walmart for $2.00) and the ST Endor set for $48.00? Sorry, maybe $15.00, not almost $50.00.

Thankfully nothing this year is really appealing to me.  I love that they have used SW and Indiana Jones items to flesh out the toys.  The secret base is not worth it to me. The Mirage is not my cup of tea in that colour, but it is a nice vehicle and the Parade car is a complete rip-off of the custom Cobra Parade car I made last year.  So I expect my royalties cheque any day now :lol:  That is pretty much the only kind of car that mold is good for, but they took out the launching "machine gun" in the back.  I like the colours and look, but again not worth it to me.

I know that a lot of people were dying for the ARAH molds so I'm happy for you, but I would like to see a continuation of the 25th molds for unmade characters.

Ok Hasbro, wow us this year with a nice surprise.

I like the fact that they used O-Rings, but I'm not 'wowed' by any of this set, though I am sure some of our friends in the UK may thoroughly enjoy this set. Not to mention the prices they are asking for the souveniers are ridiculous.

I like the Secret Base, not sure how much it is but I would buy it if is not expensive.  It's the 2 barrels that seal the deal for me! You can't get enough barrels! :lol:

Do you know these: http://www.marauderinc.com/servlet/Detail?no=147

It can't be better and can't be less expensive than those...

The Red Shadows Secret Base is $48...

Man, you beat me!!!

I have no interest in the vehicles or playset at all, but:
  • Dolphin: Doesn't look bad...
  • Jammer: I'm looking for that fig for about 2 years. That one look a little strange or maybe it is the picture. I don't know why, maybe its chest or neck...
  • Gaucho: I can see him beside my UK Steeler (and vintage Jammer if I can get him) anytime!

I wouldn't mind the three pack and one of the kayaks but that's about it.

2 bucks you say I would have bought a fleet of those cars.  If only I'd known.
