Will they make it to Canada though?

Anyone know the release date?  I am going to NYC mid-December.



2009 so you won't see them on your trip.

I just pre-ordered mine from Golden Age Toys.  I don't want the hassle of running around from store to store looking for these.

While the hiss is awesome looking, I have a big problem with the idea of anyone being in the cockpit or standing on the back when the missiles go off - which makes it a one person vehicle for me.   :-

Still, I might end up with one for the display shelf...

Hey now, even if you don't subscribe to the school of standing behind missile launcher racks while travelling, there is a passanger seat - so that makes it a two-person vehicle!

I think the idea of the Arctic HISS (or how I would use it) is as an ambush vehicle.  Drive it up in a snow storm, park it behind or beside a nice big drift, cover the canopy with the camouflage tarp - then surprise any passing targets with a barrage of missiles.  Same with the Stinger...  most Cobra vehicles seem to be the ambush type

 :shifty:

There's a passenger seat in the Hiss? Or do you mean the Stinger?

But take my opinion with a grain of salt, since I hated the Terrordrome because there was no way to get to the upper level, and the firebat would have killed everyone when it launched.

yeah Raps, I thought you were talking about the Stinger.  And I'm not surprised you've taken issue with the lack of an elevator in the 'drome after your explaination of your joes having to file government paperwork ;D

Why should their lives be any better than mine? All I do anymore is fill out paperwork.
