Looks alright to me. It's just too bad about the shipping costs from those guys.  :(

Sorry for not getting to excited about a cobra mantis.  I'm sure lots of people will like this but, it is just a recast of the RoC mantis we just had last year.  The figure looks good at least.  This is a PASS for me.

When the other sets came out I didn't care for them much, but recently I've completely changed my mind.  I really dig this vehicle and the adventure team in general.

It looks good. I will even say it looks better than the ROC version. But, space is becoming rarer and rarer... so I need a WOW effect to get another vehicle. Since "Good" is below "Wow"... I won't get this... or if I get it, it will be with a BIG discount... like someone would like badly the fig and doesn't want the vehicle at all :shifty:

They should have used the RoC Polar Sharc for this, that would at least get more people wanting it.

They're too expansive for my taste since I don't care for the vehicles, I just want a box set of all the figures.

it'd make a nice Q-Force vehicle for Action Force...

Now that is smart thinking. You get a timbit.

I like the sub's colour but using 25th Ann. Shipwrecks body and colours kills it for me with the figure.

I asked my 2 year old if he liked this submarine. He said no and he came back with HIS (it was mine when I was... around 8  :-) submarine in hands:

This submarine in yellow/orange fits better the AT color scheme than the one proposed by MC  ;D and it fits very well GI Joe fig  :o!

Now that is what I call an awesome looking submarine. I'm sure I would've liked to have that too as a kid, +1 for MM!

Yes, it's from the Fisher-Price Adventure People. I still have most of them from my childhood. This Submarine and the helicopter that goes with it are just great for any AT collector... and since I have these in duplicate...  :shifty:

Nobody Beats GI JOE, except probably Fisher Price with these very cool Adventure sets. Thanks for sharing Mr. SubMarine-Montreal ! (okay okay, cheesy I know)

I like the set, I just prefer to buy things that I can find locally.

I remember that thing! Good call Martin. I was in my shed just this afternoon looking at the Adventure People toys I have out there for my boy.

I've even contacted Fisher Price in the past and told them that if they re-released that stuff I would buy it all for my boy (and I mean it). Heck, I would buy two of everything.

I want the entire AT set but I'll wait a couple months.. the price is going to drop for sure on these things! It's not worth the price MC is asking for them...
