None at all, man.

Yes, the vehicles are every bit a part of GI Joe mythos but I think Hasbro wants to push the characters as hard as they can. Like people have been saying, these 1st 10 figures need to be bough and cleared from the shelves to get Hasbro to think twice about things. We can ASSume that if these 1st 10 are sold out, then the next 15 will be easy and the inclusion of vehicles is a possibility down the road.

Thing is, I like the idea of themes. It helps the Joes evolve in terms of characterization and whatnot. Unfortunately, the lack of focus on the themes led to redundant chars and outfits that made no sense. At least w/ VvV, you had venomized troops and Link the problem-solver. But at the same time, that could have been a small scale mission and another mission could've been made up and have had chars specifically for that.

SHoot, what if they did Viper Lockdown? What if they ran with that idea and created a wave or 2 of Joes to support it? Give them similar camo/outfits and away we go. Then another mission/story after that and again, different joes w/ decent outfits. Uhmmmm, anyway, the vehicles could go w/ missions too. What's the point of creating dune buggys for a snow story? lol

Ok ok, i'll shut up.
