Well hot damn!!

Talk about a bunch of great reveals.

Every single reveal was a banger in my opinion.  I love the update to Doc and Jinx.  Night Creeper looks great and I love that they included the V2 head.  GNAWGAHYDE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  I mean what is there to say about his reveal?  I love absolutely everything about it.  From the Pets (a highly articulate Boar with a nose ring and one broken tusk?  YES PLEASE!!) to the sniper rifle kit, to the bow and arrow, to Gnawgahyde himself!!!  This is a fantastic reveal and I can't wait for him to get a release.

I also loved the TF two pack of Roadblock and Tripwire.  Roadblock gets his Ma'Deuce and I am surprised that they gave Tripwire almost all of his kit from the first release as well.  I would have expected them to leave out M.A.C.L.E.O.D. and just give us the detector and backpack.  Also I love the TF print on M.A.C.L.E.O.D. that they give to the vehicles, a nice little detail.  I will say I can't unsee the "tiger stripe speedo" on Tripwire after someone mentioned that is what it looked like to them.

Another great set of reveals.

Mutt & Junkyard has been released in Canada.  Bought one at my local EB today in Markham.  I was originally there to pick up a General Hawk. 

If a Snowcat is made, I will jump on that one.  One of my favorite vehicles as a kid. 

Found Mutt & Junkyard at my local EB today.  I have been waiting for this one.

1. Sorry to hear about your loss Sundance. I can't imagine the emotional journey that has been for you and your family.

2. and not nearly as important, I think classified should really start to branch out into the smaller playsets as well as vehicles. We could use a good bivouac or cobra bunker.

3. Question on the vamp: did they properly allow for a figure sitting in the vamp to see clearly or does it suffer the same issue the original vamp had?

I think after the VAMP, we are going to see either the Thunder Machine or the SnowCat.  I personally would love an aircraft for Cobra.

If they don't retool the VAMP into the TF Tiger Sting and the Stinger, they're missing a trick. Hell, a PP Stinger too and a VAMP mk II. Make the most out of the mold...

I let it run for roughly 15 min, and it was still going.  I suspect it has to be turned off.  I am looking forward to the VAMP.
What really set ARAH from everything else was the vehicles and playsets.  The size constraints in this scale is going to be the limiting factor, but I am in for anything they produce.

Don't be surprised if we see maybe 20 vehicles by the end of this year.  Granted there are a lot of small, single person vehicles right now.  However those, combined with mid-sized vehicles like the VAMP, will add up quickly.

Here is what we have so far at the beginning of 2024:

COIL
RAM
TF RAM
Flight Pod
PP Flight Pod
Serpentor's Air Chariot
HISS Tank
Draonfly (already sold, just waiting)
Maybe the Drone from Scrap Iron due to it's size??

Then we have coming:

SMS w/Techno Viper
Ferret w/Scout
VAMP w/Clutch

So that is 12 vehicles already confirmed/out.  We know there will be another Haslab vehicle, and at least two more vehicles in those leaked lists.  That gets us to 15 (counting Scrap Iron's Drone).   It isn't a big stretch to get 5 more this year through repaints and exclusives.  I won't be surprised to see the MMS repaint from the SMS and a VAMP repaint into whichever version.  Plus another couple small vehicles we have no inkling of yet. 

So yeah, 20 vehicles by the end of 2024 is doable in my books.

Personally I am hoping/excited for any possibility of the Devil Fish and Firebat.  Those two are great single person vehicles I am dying to get in Classified.
