>>10655143>as did naysayers such as yourself.I said it would be expensive as fuck and it would severely limit what they can produce. All this happened.
The worst part is the fact that anything big has to be bought 2 years in advanced and you won't know if it's actually good until it arrives.
For the same price as an undersized 1/12 HISS, you can use eBay to buy a high quality diecast actual 1:18 scale Bradley with moving TOW missile launcher, opening crew hatches, reloading hatch, and a squad ramp+door, PLUS 3 or 4 Rage tanks for them to fight.
If you don't like used, you can buy a full scale 1:18 Abrams for $50 on Amazon and two HMMVs for ~$25, and a city square made from PlayMobil and Calico Critter houses/shops (all 1:18 scale) for your Cobra figures to hide in to ambush your Joes.
Nevermind you can fit any of these vehicles on your standard bookshelf, which you can also pose your figures around like a background. Having a large vehicle is an instant diorama on a shelf. Whereas the half-sized 1:12 Hasbro vehicles are too big. Only the bubbles, bikes, and maybe that vamp will fit.
If i had a mansion, I'd totally buy into 1:12 like I have 1:18, despite the lack of vehicles. But i have limited space and i could never build up anything a quarter as good as this without looking like a hoarder.
Also, when'd they say that the HISS was being released for retail?
