However the colour scheme is "blah" on the Armadillo, and quite frankly I think it is time for both MC and Hasbro to bench the mold for a little while at least.
The Water Moccasin is going to be based on the original red colour scheme from Brazil.
The Stinger is intriguing and I can't wait to see what the patterning and colour placement looks like.

I saw pics of the armadillo. It's the RoC Armored Panther with camo colours. Not impressive... The Chrome Mole Pod would be sooo much better!
Just for this once I have to agree with Bandonov on the chromed mole pod.
What's with the Armadillo? I know that it looks like it's in the colours of the new Brazil theme, but those colour combinations are weak already on the figures IMO, and it's even more magnafied on the vehicles.
I love the Stinger repaint.
I find the Mocassin's paint scheme too plain. The colour scheme of the original Hasbro vehicles is what represents better this entire Python Patrol series IMO, they should've just sticked with it instead of paying tribute to a less glorious blast from the past... that is better left to the past. Just saying.

I may actually end up going. Be crazy, I end up making the trip, paying for gas, hotel, eating and all that, and the exclusives be sold out before I get there, before the general admission Saturday.
With this year's exclusives you can be assured that there will be nothing left by Saturday.

Dial Tones are probably already gone.
Yeah, carded ones are sold out.
Apparently the run on the bagged ones was somewhere around 1500, so I'm sure they'll be available for quite a while

Yeah, I could save money and just pay double for the stuff on ebay. But I'll end up paying triple or more to go and not get them. Still, it's within driving distance and I would like to dig through those bins and all that. I'd like to get Mr. Hama's autograph for a friend of mine. Kinda weird, all the exclusives selling out before the general admission even starts, something wrong with that.
Contrary to some organizers public statements, they love selling out before the general public even enters. It means selling out their stock and making their money without having to worry about sitting on product and transporting it back to storage.
