Also the vamp is heavier than I expected.  It has an incredible solid feel.  Also working suspension!  Rubber tires, working winch, tow hitch (super excited about what will go behind it),  this list of cool stuff goes on and on.   Also next to the RAM, it looks like 1982 all over again!  I have heard the snow cat/thunder machine are expected next, but this really makes me with for the rest of the 82 vehicles - MOBAT, HAL etc.

The VAMP - wow.  I wish I had ordered two.  Clutch is great, the vehicle is fantastic.  All of the accessories make sense and has been fully thought out.  My only complaint are the wheels feel a little wobbly.  So glad there were no stickers to be applied.

Retro Recondo - the card back is perfect, this is the quality I am expecting and is what should have been since day 1.

Big boa - great figure, no issues with the figure.  Was goofy in the 80's and is goofy today, wish the helmet was actually a helmet on not a swappable head.

A local seller, he orders direct from Hasbro and has a couple of dozen customers he sells directly too.  Both of the figures cost me $40 each, and I am able to pick up locally as he is literally walking distance from my house.  I found him on Kijiji and have been getting all of my figures from him the moment he receives them.  He is a great guy.  I will PM you his contact info if you like.

Just picked up Quck Kick and Techno Viper - so far I am impressed.  Big Boa and carded Recondo should be here early next week.

Having a hell of a time ordering the Nightforce RAM on walmart - one minute it was in my cart, the next it was sold out.

I am sure ToysRus is happy too, I purchased one, opened it before I left the store only to find it was victim to a figure swap.  The employee, rolled their eyes and said, yeah this happens all the time.

The art was great - but knowing there is something in the box is by far more important, especially know that TRU has put a no returns/exchanges policy on on all Action Figures.

The price sucks as it is all reissued product, but I am with you, I will pay it as it isn't going to get any cheaper and will sell out.

I agree, I prefer this over the Tiger Force version, and considering it was a pain in the arse to get the original with Breaker. I don't mind seeing another repaint.

Same goes for a blue Flight pod.

I am just glad they didn't try and go animation accurate for the colours.  He is unrecognizable in the cartoon compared to his toy.

Considering he didn't get a second figure until the 2000's, makes me think we won't see another version, and if it wasn't for the Dragonfly, I don't think we would have got him this early in the Classified line.

Sadly no Metalhead this week, it was the 60th Sailer/Diver.  I don't think I will be picking up the 60th figs, the only thing I really like is the gear they come with, but the price is way more than I would be willing to pay.
