- Rattler Powerglide
Discussion thread is linked below, let’s hear more of your thoughts on this set!

Yeah, I have a bad feeling it'll be that way, but I can always have hope!

I just need to figure a way to get the hiss tank. Might be cheaper to get it off ebay!

Sorry to say, but I would not count on that. I think the TF and Jos exclusives for the last few years were a bit lacking but this set has fans from both groups fairly excited. I think this may end up being a fairly popular exclusive. With that said I hope it is easily available to everyone that wants one, but that often ends up not being the case.
I think the sdcc fort max will be fairly easy to get because it is at such a high price point at nearly 200. So I expect it to be up on the HTS website for awhile.

That soundwave tank looks really sharp with those foil stickers. Nice touch.

I hope so too! Although I bet there at least a few Joe collectors planning to get that Powerglide and re-sticker it as a Crimson Guard Rattler.

Hopefully I can get this one. The only other one of these I secured was the shockwave tank.
Nice retooling on the hiss tank for soundwaves blasters.
Maybe it will be easier to get since the joes included aren't as in demand as that bludgeon and baroness with ravage were.

From what I hear, Kre-O is dead. I don't collect them but I did enjoy the style of them.
Hollywood Hoist
This is a great addition to the G.I. Joe vs. TF's. I don't collect those sets, but I know a lot of people love them.
I'm hoping for another class of Kre-O set. They could do the combiners this year and next year do the various masters characters.
EightiesKid
I expect that this will prove to be a popular set. All of the other crossover sets sold out, and the appeal on this is good enough that I think this will be in demand as well. I'm curious to see what other SDCC exclusives we get, but I'm expecting that we will get a modified version of Titan Fort Max, and maybe another Transformers set or two, plus some Star Wars stuff from the new Rogue One movie.

I agree they should have come up with some little extras like in the previous sets. Hopefully they'll do some for next year. The Powerglide is enough for me to get this to go with the previous SDCC sets.
Sarrow
I'll likely be passing on this one. I have the other 3, but this one just doesn't seem to have the same amount of accessories or "charm" I guess.

Well, there's CW Viper and Energon Snow Cat, who I imagine as a Joe/Autobot/former Decepticon who wears the Decepticon badge as a symbol of his past.
deliciouspeter
I wish they did it the other way, TF toys painted up like joe toys. Still love them, but I have no room for these on the shelf.
shibamura_prime
True that. I hope more people keep complaining about this and not want it so it'll be easier for me to get it.
Predakwon
Oh man, please be like the last couple of SDCC years and not be super difficult. Past two years the TF and Joe exclusives were actually online for a couple of minutes.

Looking forward to missing out on this set when it is available on HTS for all of three seconds.

The Harmony Gold vs. FASA case was dismissed and settled out of court. FASA phased out the Macross designs already at that point anyway and made a point to not use them again…but that was probably a choice made by FASA to avoid further litigation threats than it was Harmony Gold "winning" anything.
Where FASA lost out was Playmates vs. FASA, during the time of Exo Squad and Battletech merch at retail back in 1994.
So, Battletech really has nothing to do with Jetfire beyond the common Harmony Gold suit, which was settled with prejudice, meaning HG can never bring it up again without a truly valid claim…or else they can be counter-sued for legal fees and other stuff.
So, Jetfire can be Jetfire as long as they don't reissue the G1 figure. And that's that.
