Love Clutch, love the Vamp, like the price. Keep going Joe team - you are KILLING it!
I would also love an AWE Striker. Vamp makes a bunch of sense though. I think it would be a decent match against the HISS, with better maneuverability but less firepower. The AWE would be too much of a David against the HISS' Goliath. I'd REALLY love a Sky Hawk. I could also see them making a SHARK. I really enjoyed a lot of the smaller vehicles from the original line.
@normdapito I feel like if VAMP is successful (and I mean, seems likely) a Skyhawk would have to be in the cards
I'm hoping for a cobra stinger, which was actually the cooler version.
Definitely pre ordered the VAMP and Clutch. What a great looking piece. I was psyched about the Raptor and Iron Grenadier reveals too. Love everything the Joe Team is doing.
I'll jump in on that "I want the AWE Striker" group as well. Because I really, really want that thing. I really thought it would be the Haslab this year, but it turned out to be the Helicopter.
Which is great. Because if they can do things like VAMP on Pulse or retail without a Haslab, then they can do AWE Striker that way and save Haslab for bigger things.
@jakeekiss Grunt is 100% riding shotgun in my VAMP, playing his game boy-I mean "Team Awareness Device" on his chest, both he and Clutch wearing matching helmets.
It really is funny how they seemed to hit the perfect price point for so many of us. 150? Nah. 130? Totally hesitating. $99? Bought it at 5:01 p.m.
When you consider a figure is $25 these days, $75 for the Vamp just seems very reasonable.

There's just no way we're not getting a Skyhawk and an A.W.E. Striker at this point. All the smaller scale vehicles have to be in play — Devilfish, Fang, Armadillo, etc.
How much of it can you realistically display/store is the real question.
@vicious7171 I've got my Steel Brigaders ready to roll as well.
@docsilence I mean, overall the Joe team feels like they've nailed a lot of this series as far as vehicles. They're offering stuff at three levels of cost with things like the Trouble Bubble, VAMP, and Dragonfly/HISS, and that's just good practice to get everyone on board. I couldn't quite justify the Dragonfly or HISS (though they look fantastic), too big for my remaining display space and not well timed for my wallet, but still having options for some stuff that works but is a smidge smaller is fantastic.
After watching acouple of Pulse videos. Emily is awesome, she is perfect for marketing. very informed and quick minded. if i had a company, i would her hire for marketing also.
I forgot the Tiger Force version is not a Vamp recolor but a Stinger recolor.
I know Marvel has more reveals coming tomorrow in London, does Joe have some as well or has that not been said?
@valo487 I don't know for certain, but I kind of imagine they will. Like you said Marvel will have more, as well as Star Wars. So, I'm hopeful about GI Joe.
@supercamel-1982 @valo487 I'm pretty sure we are going to see something. entertainments earth has a spot on there drop zone for this Tuesday which sounds Joe related. There's also one for Transformers and I'm pretty sure Marvel. Probably the rest of the Spider man wave

I didn't get a chance to watch the stream and just checked Pulse after 5 to see what was available - saw the VAMP at that price and immediately ordered one. Not mad about that price at all.
