The HISS Scout and Cycle Armor on the way to Canada!

1. The HISS Scout and Cycle Armor were shown at Joecon, but there was no definite word on where they will be available. Can you give us any word on where we might be able to expect these?

Hasbro: So here's the story. We are still working on getting a retailer to take this in the US. However, a limited amount of these items have made their way into market in Singapore. The largest order for these was for Canada (lucky for them). Stay tuned on a US retailer.

According to Joeintels Q and A, Canada has picked up these 2!
Time to make some Robotech customs with that Cycle Armor!

Who would have made that order?  Walmart? Target (Zellers)? TRU? Winners (TJ Maxx)? You would think they would have supplied their US stores first.  

Let me guess they are going to Giant Tiger!

I doubt Zellers or TRU as they have over stock. Walmart did get the Alphs wave 3 vehicles. Giant Tiger isn't a bad guess either. Then there is also Winners.

I've been trying to get some info on this for a few weeks - since the rumour started circulating.

Hopefully Hasbro Canada can shed some light for us soon.

That Cycle Armor screams so much ROBOTECH, and I like it.

So Hasbro has managed to emulate in a very clever way, accidently or purposely some designs from Predator, Metal Gear Solid, ROBOTECH, and I don't know what else. What's next, I wonder. Looking forward to it!

Just to add on to the stuff you listed Joe, new Vamp seems to take queues from the Halo Warthog.
Also the Tornado Kick SS head sculpt is Ryu Hayabusa from Ninja Gaiden.
