Ok, we do this every so often, now with the Holidays coming up, why not? What would you like to see? What kind of stuff would you go ga-ga over if it came in GI Joe Scale? As for me, it's easy.....

A V-22 Osprey

A Freighter (like the GI Jane)

An MRAP http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MRAP_(armored_vehicle)

A Stryker (I know, I could get a Marine Corps LAV and it's the same vehicle!, but humor me!

A CH-53 Jolly Green Giant http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CH-53
Sorry, the Jolly Green Giant is the HH-53, but it's basically the same!

A KA-50 Hokum http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ka-50_Hokum

Mil-Mi28 Havoc http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mil_Mi-28

Hind D http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hind_D And in Scale, unlike the BBI Combat Command mini-hind's we've had to endure!

A T80 Russian Battle Tank (or a T-72) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/T-80

A BTR-80 or Variant of the BTR http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BTR-80

A BMP-1 or Variant http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BMP_1

A ZSU 23-4 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ZSU_23/4

A Flogger D http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MiG-23

A C-130 Hercules

A 1:18 scale forklift

1:18 scale pallets

1:18 scale bouncing betty mines http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M16_mine

I'd like to see the NiteRaven, WHALE, HAVOC, Mamba and Cobra Bunker retooled and released for us. That's just vehiclewise. Is there an actual Cobra plane that can go toe-to-toe with the Skystriker/Conquest/Thunderwing? The Rattler isn't known for it's speed or maneuverability. That's like a Y-Wing trying to out maneuver an X-Wing.

I think for the most part, most of the figures I really want have come out or are coming out. Tunnel Rat is on the list to show up. Which leaves Repeater (I want a heavy gunner) and Muskrat (c'mon, the guy's just cool) are the last of the Joes I really desire. Everything else that's been coming out, I'm kosher with. Even the repaints cuz it saves me money!

The Cobra side, I don't know. Scrap Iron is due to come out in his normal colors so that'll be fine.

If anything, I'd REALLY like the single carded figures to drop in price so they are a bit more affordable.

I would really enjoy A V-22 Osprey. I think if done right this could be one of the best vehicles in G I Joe history and as desirable as the Tomahawk. I could totally drive the GF and neighbors nuts flying that thing around the yard on a mission... LOL... ok maybe just the gf, the neighbors already think I am a toy store when I leave the drapes open...


Or a Flagg re issue... I have one buts its not in the best shape... I would have to make a large pond in the back yard...lol

Cobra needs a main battle tank.

If we're talking real-life vehicles we'd like in the Joe line, it would be a C-130, since they were used constantly in the comics (it'd have to be huge to do the real plane justice, though).

If we're talking anything, then I want to see the few remaining Joes from 1982-85 in 25th Anniversary format. Once I have them, anything else Hasbro makes from there is just an added bonus.
