Great video. I have the retro Stinger and driver from Hasbro Pulse a few weeks ago, and I am going to be getting the vintage line Stinger and driver from eBay by the 10th of this month, with the file card and blueprint as well. I am going to wait until I get the vintage Stinger and driver from eBay , so I can see if there's anything different from the retro Stinger and driver aside from the vintage one of the Stinger and driver.
great review my friend... i tried to find this yet no luck... this will look good next to my haslab skystriker for sure. and yes i think the original version had the same issue with the snug fit for the driver
Awesome job. I wish these were coming to Walmart, as I don't want to deal with Hasbro Pulse. Shame I'll miss this. The 2 piece missiles you are referring to, actually while a similar shape, belong to the rat pack missile launcher.
If these were scanned from original figures, what was the point of all the needless changes to the sculpt? The knees not bending is a fault of the upper leg sculpt not having a gap like the trooper and all other figures have. How that happened too is crazy. Unacceptable for the prices they are charging.
My dashboard keeps popping off & won't hold securely to the peg. This is quite annoying, is anybody else having any similar problems? The plastic is really cheap & this thing feels like it was made out of recycled 2 liter bottles.
@@NeedlessThings Hey thanks, it's good to get some feedback from other collectors. Guess I got a lemon. Gonna try heating it up & holding it in place as it cools. I don't really wanna glue it but that's an option too. Definitely not pleased with the quality & how the figure's legs don't bend to 90*. Hasbro sucks & I'm probably not going to continue to collect anything else that they produce.
Guess it's time to retire the old Funskool Racing Jeep if I ever find one of these down under.

Nice! If you want to, hit up @audibleinterludepodcast on Instagram and we'll share your thoughts on the show. Thanks for watching!
I got mine 2/3 weeks ago and I diggin it
The only downer for me and it’s small is the driver not being able to bend his knees to a full 90 deg
Thanks for watching!

Thank you! I'm trying to decide if I need a section just for the new o-ring stuff. I suppose I might find out during tomorrow's Joe livestream...
@@NeedlessThings oh the O-rings are a must especially for us old guys who grew up in the 80s.. 🤣
@@palpatine1975 Oh, for sure. I just have them mixed in with my vintage stuff right now and I'm thinking they might need their own section!
@@NeedlessThings yes definitely! Coz Hasbro did hint 2023 was gonna have quite abit of O-rings offerings.

Thanks for the info! I was thinking they both had those missiles. I never liked them.
@@NeedlessThings yeah they were always in pieces and greater chance you'd be missing something 🤪

Is the 25th anniversary Stinger the same size as this? I wonder what they changed to allow the modern figures to fit?
The 25th Stinger is entirely different tooling and is, from what I understand, larger.
Great Video, just received mine from Pulse as well. Hopefully Waiting for trouble bubble and raptors!! (1 st Btw)
Thanks for watching! I can't wait to see the Classified Flight Pod, but I hope we get a Retro version as well.
Which edition/year is this?
It's from Hasbro's recent Retro Collection. 2022.
My dashboard keeps popping off & won't hold securely to the peg. This is quite annoying, is anybody else having any similar problems? The plastic is really cheap & this thing feels like it was made out of recycled 2 liter bottles.
You should contact Hasbro. I didn't have any problems with my dashboards.
