Will the Canucks get their own white AWE Striker?

Are you really the guy that thinks "if there's one vehicle we haven't had released enough in the last 20 years, it's the AWE Striker?"

So was the Hiss tank if you remember...

i'm the guy who thinks a white AWE Striker (or possibly a white one with grrey camo on) and a big-ass Canadian maple leaf on the hood would look cool. According to my calculations it would be 1,978 times cooler than a black AWE Striker with a hexagram on the hood.

Touché.

Strangely, I've never owned an Awe Striker.....
I think it and the terrordrome are the only pre 88 vehicles I've never owned. Weird pair.

A White AWE striker with the Maple Leaf would be awesome.

will the Canucks ever have their own ninja?


SATURDAY ANSWER
Not if I have anything to say about it. It was considered earlier this year when a bunch of Storm Shadow figures were offered to me. But another figure was picked instead.

Also. White AWE Striker would be pretty badass.

Good call on the ninja.  I like ninjas and have a custom set of ME NF figures, but don't feel we really need anymore....especially after the movie. 

Some other hand - to - hand combat specialist could be cool though, but Takedown sort of fills that role anyway, even if he is just meant to be an instructor.  He is probably my favorite from the last 3 years.

i agree, Emags, Take Down as an MMA expert is all the martial artist the Canucks need.

i'm also feeling vindicated by the follow-on comment...

Since Mike mentioned he is running low on questions, here's a couple of more to throw into the ring.

1.  Are all the characters in this year's set Canadian? 

2.  Are there any characters who might be on "lone" from the Joes / Cobra or another country (e.g. like Big Ben with SAS) ?

3.  Any characters who are from a branch outside of the Army?  Any characters from the Navy, Air Force or Marines?

O-ring or ME?


SUNDAY ANSWER
Unless Hasbro starts producing figures with an O-Ring again, expect all figures to be Modern Era (25th style) figures.

A more practical question... what is the target price for this year set (so we can budget a bit)?
