Outrider It's been a great ride! Offline --> Posts: 14,302 --> Join Date: Jun 2005	Hmmm, haven't seen these before, could be interesting, it depends what they come up with. There's not much point buying o-ring figs I already have, especially as I'll have to pay for a 25th figure I don't want as well. I'll have to wait and see just what figures/vehicles they end up doing. __________________ "The future's uncertain and the end is always near." - The Doors "Roadhouse Blues".

Snow Job's biceps are back (or they found close matches), and if he's got the soft hands of post-97 figures he'll replace my 97 Snow Job. Kind of bummed that his Polar Battle Bear lacks the missiles on the skis. On the right side, the Rockslide and its Snow Job are different from the regular release, the snowmobile being white and grey rather than dull shades of blue, and Snow Job featuring more grey reminiscent of the 1997 version compared to the greens on the first ROC version. I'm getting this for sure. __________________ RIP Minouche, 1994-2009.

Really? Why not? It's a great vehicle!

They lost the rights to the old name.

Besides, the Battle Bear had already been renamed the Rockslide in 2002, so it's not like it's without precedent.

Lava Boss Veteran Offline --> Posts: 3,378 --> Join Date: Apr 2006	Not my ideal choice (even with the long winters here, I tire of snow vehicles) or format, but it's something. $20 I might get it. Over that...and I'll wait for clearance. Others? Old Ferret and New Ferret? (Scrap Iron overload?) Old Armadillo and new Armored Panther? Buzz Boar and Mole Pod? (Might be a hoot if they made ARAH Croc Master as a "terra viper", but thar wouldn't be retro...so...maybe...Rock Viper??) Silver Mirage and Snarler cycle?

Disgustingly redundant since the new ones are just retools of the old ones.

Yes, yes, yes, yes yes!

Eeeeeeh.... Only if they can fix the stability issues on the Silver Mirage.
