Info about new Sting Raider at Toys R Us.

Postby junkins on Sun Jan 31, 2010 5:53 pm

Does anyone have any info about the new Sting Raider at TRU? It has a new color scheme and has two figures. I have not seen this one. Here is the link. http://www.toysrus.com/product/index.js ... Id=3870040

All I have heard thus far is that they should be at retail in February.

I saw it this week in Virginia TRU.

$19.99
Copperhead & Swamp Viper
The Swamp Viper is a repainted AVAC from the Firebat in swamp green shades.

It's not too bad, but I don't get too excited about water or snow vehicles myself. I didn't buy it... yet.

I'll probably buy one because I wished I'd gotten a second one when they came out before. I'm not a fan of the paint job or the price point, but the second figure is nice.

For some reason, I've been all about the snow vehicles and figures lately. I still hate the Ice Dagger. I mean, if your running from the Ice Dagger, just find some pavement and drive away, it's not following you!..Stupid Vehicle. The Snow Cat on the other hand is a nice half-track vehicle. I really hope they release it this year. The pre-production one we saw at the December Dinner was awesome. They fixed the rocket sled and used a brown marbling technique to make the vehicles look "mudded". Very nice. I'd like to pick up a couple. I'm also retarded over the Artic HISS. It's beautiful. I got another one coming. I have one from about ten years ago. I'm going to cut the back out and turn it into a transport with a drop down gate.



My Wife and Mother-in-Law picked up the Rockslide Past and Present set for me a couple of weeks ago.(I got another one coming via my plastic crack connections). I was suprised how nice the Rockslide was. Especially the cockpit. I wasn't expecting that. Of course, I really wanted the Polar Battle Bear. It was one of my favorites as a kid and I still like it. The best thing was both figures came with all of their gear! I wasn't expecting that either.
