HISS Attack Scout And GI Joe Cycle Armor Sighted At Grocery Outlet

[Note: Couldn't find the old Grocery Outlet finds thread]

Found today at Grocery Outlet for $9.99 but passed on them:



[Note 2: Just in case anyone asks what is "Grocery Outlet", it's a store where people go to get cheaper groceries in the west coast. They are not known for their toys but they have received GI Joes a few times].

Hi everyone, I've been receiving e-mails ala PM if I can pick them up. Unfortunately, I saw these during a stopover while traveling. So, I am unable to pick anything up for anyone.

But because there are many Grocery Outlets on the West Coast, you may want to ask people in California or Tankers that you know who can help you out.

The actual name is Grocery Outlet?

I hear people turning these down all the time, but when i inquire about getting a set, they want $40 per vech + shipping? I don't get it, if i had access to these, i would buy every one i saw. Whateva...

Sweet another place we don't have here lol

pretty soon just, "$ = Food."

this.

I'd like a set if anybody is so inclined.

So there is a Grocery Outlet called Grocery Outlet???

The HISS Scout is pretty cool, although I wasn't very excited about it. On the other hand, I was VERY excited about the Cycle Armor, and it is really not good. In Transformers terms - it is a "parts former". That is, you have to essentially disassemble the entire motorcycle, and then reassemble it into the armor. This is not like a Robotech Cyclone, that sort of transforms around the body. You actually have to disassemble the engine and mount it as a backpack. It makes no sense, and you would have virtually no chance of just stumbling on how to make this armor from the motorcycle without the instructions. And you would likely need them EVERY time. It is that intricate. I have one. That will do.

The HISS Scout is ok but I don't see the need to army build. It is a scout. The driver isn't bad. It is a shame that a superior version is coming out with the movie, as it the Scout would certainly benefit from the roll cage or some kind of protective cockpit.

All that to say this: yes, there are reasons people aren't buying this like they did the black PoC HISS or virtually any other Ross GI Joe vehicle. I don't get charging $40 for one. I have only seen the ones I bought and I'm glad I bought them as I wouldn't have believed how bad the Cycle Armor was unless I played with it myself. Seriously, the 80s Mospeada cyclone was the same kind of toy but vastly better. Sad that GI Joe couldn't improve on a 25 year old toy!
