O.k. now that both Target exclusive cobra rattler and g.i. conquest x-30 are out what do people think of these are worthy addition to growing roster of vehicles or would the night raven and sky striker have been better choices.

Well they sure seemed great until you mentioned the Night Raven.

But I really don't have room to spare for any of them, which has precluded me from obtaining either of them. If I could though, I'd be perfectly happy with getting just the Rattler. In concept, it's probably one of my favorite fictional vehicles of all time, since they took my favorite plane, and gave it VTOL and a WWII inspired dorsal turret. The Night Raven, in reflection, is cool in that it is a nice homage to the SR-71, but the whole escape pod scout jet thing has been worn into the ground since.

Of course, give them both to me as Starscream (Voyager Class) and Thundercracker (Deluxe Class) and I'd be really happy...

I think they make me feel old... and a little sad that I sold my Joes so long ago.

The Night Raven and the Tomahawk used to hang over my bed. If someone had slammed my door, I would have been killed.

Seriously though, I love seeing them again but I hate the little modifications that've been done especially in regards to "safety".

I love them! I play with them all the time.
Of course I don't have anything to compare them to, because I never had the orginals.I do think they could have been better and there are better choices (like the skystriker)... But I still love them.
It's a good thing,I pre-ordered them and painfully paid for it.
