The GI Joe Rise of Cobra line had some hits and misses, a lot of which could be seen with the alpha vehicle assortment(s). While the 1st wave took a while to take off of shelves, the 2nd wave gathered some steam, and the 3rd wave was highly anticipated.

So imagine the dismay when it was announced that the 3rd wave was canceled. Then it was said that the vehicles were merely delayed until early 2010. Then Hasbro said some trickled out into stores. The amount of members who have these wave 3 vehicles in hand is small. Will wave 3 make a wider release eventually? That's anyone's guess.

One of the most anticipated items was the Mole Pod repaint, but not essentially for the vehicle. No, the excitement was primarily for it's driver, the Volcano Viper. Sure it uses a base from another figure but it has a slew of new parts! While the Lava Pod with Volcano Viper has yet to reach widespread distribution, click on the discuss button to read Steel Brigade's review of the Lava Viper!
