The Canceled Joe Vehicles Are Back!
Remember the awesome assortment of G.I. Joe vehicles that got canceled a few months ago? Well, now they are back and you can pre-order them at sites like Big Bad Toy Store (who generously donated to the Toys for Tots contest this year so perhaps you should pre-order from them?) In case you forgot about the assortment it includes:
Ghost Hawk with Lift Ticket
Arctic HISS with Arctic Driver
Claw Glider with Stratoviper & Flak Cannon with Outback
Stinger Jeep with Stinger Commander
It’s good to see these back again. With the live action movie, G.I. Joe: Rise of Cobra, coming out it’s becoming clear that it pretty much ruined a lot of the momentum for the stuff that we really want. These wave 5 vehicles seemed to be the a victim to Hasbro’s new lust to push out mostly movie related merchandise.
Personally, if I had the means I’d seriously consider buying all of these. The only one that seems to be missing is the Water Moccasin. Did that come out already? I feel like such a moron, but the G.I. Joe supply sucks so bad around here that I never know what’s actually hit shelves or not.
Side Note: On the rare occasion that I could find new stuff, I spotted the Pilot Destro/Shockwave comic two pack at Wal-Mart yesterday. Hot damn, it took a lot of willpower to put that puppy down. The only thing that saved me was focusing on how dumb pilot Destro is.

For no great reason I always liked Lift-Ticket. He had that cool mic attachment for his helmet. And the Tomahawk(?) chopper was epic.
But Airborne was my absolute favorite. All I ever wanted was a new Airborne. My precious Airborne. Paul, do you hear me? The Airborne should have been mine, I tells ya.
Sigh.
