The first two will just be repaints, right?
Hopefully the Stinger isn't a Vamp...

Finally a Skyhawk with actual windows and not gaping holes!

Here's my thoughts on this list:

Ghost Hawk.  Already known and pictured.  As Redmao said, I too am happy to see windows.  Overall this a a great update on the original.  I also like the Liftticket figure.  A good use of other figures and new parts.

Arctic HISS.  Finally a HISS repaint that isn't blue or crimson.  Of course it is a wait and see on the paint scheme, but at least it is a different idea for the mold.  I am concerned about the "Arctic Driver".  This better not be a simple white repaint of the HISS Driver mold.  I would prefer a "new" frankenjoe Cobra arctic soldier, or a reuse of maybe the Snow Serpent mold.

CLAW & FLAK.  Again with the CLAW?  This mold is fine, but nowhere near as good as the original.  The FLAK is a good toy as well, but I wouldn't have put this in my top ten of what I would want to see this soon.  This set is obviously going to be sold on their figures.  A Stratoviper and Outback!!!  I love the Stratoviper and can't wait for it.  Outback is a good figure as well, and one that is fine for a vehicle pack rather than a single card.

Stinger.  This was confirmed a while back.  I am anxiously awaiting this vehicle.  I was kind of hoping the Stinger Driver would be rereleased with the vehicle, but I guess it is wait and see for the Stinger Commander.

Here's hoping the Stinger's missles are the kind on plugs and not spring-loaded.  I hate spring-loaded.

I would like it if they used the Vamp mold - tooled some door armour just like the original and then released it in beige with more new armour as the Vamp Mk2 with a tan clutch.  I had all three when I was a kid and loved them!  I wouldn't mind a tow behind vehicle to go along with these.

I disagree on this part...  I love Outback! Seing him release with the FLAK means he won't have accessories  >:(. He won't be the same without his web belt and his green flashlight!!  :'(

That may be true, but I would hazard a guess that most people won't be looking for another CLAW, and while the FLAK is new, it isn't the most visually stunning "vehicle".  The 2 figures however, won't be available any other way (at least until after the movie most likely).
