Cycle armor and HISS scout at retail in Canada
- Thread starter MAJOR BLOOD
- Start date
Awesome, Canada gets them. I hope the border patrol doesn't intercept them and deny them entry due to their military nature. Then the rest will end up at Ross with the closest one 500 miles away from me, super.
I need that scout and driver dammit, lots, for butchery purposes of course.

I guess it's possible. I just saw it. I have been away so I'm out of the loop. I guess we'll see how popular these are. Didn't the wave 3 ROC start like that and then hit ROSS?
"Hey I got a brilliant idea. Let's throw a seat between a pair of HISS treads and slap a gun on it!"
I know sometimes Cobra has had some pretty lame vehicles(POGO anyone?), but the HISS scout really takes the cake for stupid. I don't think even Cobra would be interested in that.

The idea that it could detach from a big hiss and scout is cool and all, but I got a couple problems with it.
1.) no canopy, no protection, no point. It's asking to eat Grenades.
2.) couldn't a smaller robot do this same task more stealthily and effectively? In fact wasn't there suppose to be one that came with Cobra Commander a while back? That seems much more practical. They should have just thrown Croc Master out of the newer waves and put in a tank driver that came with said drone.

I still want it.
If by some strange coincidence I end up with one, I'll give it to you.
If I see them in Meijers or TJ Max for real cheap in the future I'll get a couple for a Dio of a cobra tank factory or testing site. They could be used as incomplete tanks waiting to be assembled (or sabotaged) or as factory defected tanks Cobra (or Joes) use for target practice.Those are the best ideas I could come up with them for potential use.
Yay! Anybody wanna help me snag about 4 scouts? I'll pay of course!
Oh, and 2 cycle armors as well!

I thought the HISS Scout was created so everyone could replace the static treads on their OG HISS Tanks with functioning rubber ones.
Putting those treads on an OG Hiss would be like putting deep dish tires on a Dode K car. I bet the HISS body would fit in there though.
Is there any news at all if these will be in any US retailers? Or maybe something that will be sold at the club, or places like bbts? People on eBay are charging a boat load for these and I want a set but not at 3 to 4 times more than the Canadian retail prices.
Or frackin' HTS...I don't understand what Hasbro is saying that they can't find a US distributor for these. I know that HTS is "different" from Hasbro, but let's get real here.....
Considering these had hit Canadian discount stores I'd say at best these would go to a discount store here in the US. They really are fairly shitty. I would hold out and see if they come here in the next year. It's possible. Figure it took about 6 months for the ROC Alpha's to make it once they were found up there.
It didn't sound too promising at Canada Con these would be in the US. Of course anything is possible but I would not hold your breath especially with the 30th items starting to show up. Christmas at ROSS would be my guess.

It's always tough for me to gauge these things without seeing them in person. People usually go ape-shit over these rare and cancelled items in their reviews
I had them both in hand. I stand by my claim. Others may dig it though. PCS has pictures of the armor.
For those that want these reasonable I guess Pdaaat over at HT is selling them around cost it seems.
