seriously dont resist, these 25A vehicles are awesome and worth "buying again" even if you've already got the ARAH counterparts.

The VAMP is sweet, hood opens, shovel pops out, and I'm loving the HISS - very classic - crystal clear canopy

Nuts. I was going to go to Toys R Us today but didn't make it. Well, I know where I'll be tomorrow morning.

I can't even afford to buy this stuff anymore yet I'm going back for more.

I know what you mean  :(

I almost hope that I don't find them, so as not to be tempted.  Almost.

Got VAMP and Armadillo/Chariot at TRU London. 

And no, I can't afford this either.  Not with comics starting to get good again.

haha, good to hear I'm not the only one wasting cash on this hobby.. ;D

Bandalero, I have my caped Serpentor standing straight up on the chariot...looks great even if it doesn't make sense.  But neither does a living simulacrum comprised of DNA remnants from history's greatest despots and tyrants  :cobra:

I picked up everything except for the Ram / Flight pod set as they were sold out of that one. Looks like the Vamp was the slepper of the case as there was 3 of those when I got there and only 1 Hiss tank and 2 Serpentor / Steeler sets. Funny thing is the best made set is the Vamp set. Clutch is pretty well made and the Vamp blows away the other vehicles sets.

It's cool to army build and buy Cobra stuff but so far the Vamp is the best of the 3 sets I have IMHO.

I have to agree, the new VAMP is awesome compared to the other vehicles.  The only unfortunate thing for me is that it only holds two figures.  Otherwise the fun value of this toy far exceeds the others.

Well, today, I am a happy camper.  I went into Ottawa and stopped by the Toys R Us - They had a lot out!  I saved some money and only picked up the Vamp and HISS, for now.  I figured that I'd eventually see them again and can get the other two sets later.

They had two HISS out, three or so Vamps, and a good half dozen of the other sets.  No carded figures, but plenty of vehicles.  That totally made my day...  I'll be good for a while!


And man, is the Vamp ever nice.  They did a really good job on it.  The HISS seems like the same old design, but still sharp looking - if I see another and can spare the coin, I might "army build",  if you can call a pair, an army  :P

I popped by the one in Ottawa again today and saw a bunch there...  I picked up the rest of the collection plus a HISS Tank.  They had one HISS and two Vamps left after I was through there.

I just got back from the states and I picked up the vehicles there at Target for $14.99 - they are Great.  The Vamp is the best of the bunch followed by the RAM.
