I personally passed on them, but I have lots of vehicles, so I didnt "need" them.

I'm probably debating the Hummer thingie solely on the fact that I keep not finding anything... Unless someone actually comes out and says "Get it. It's actually a lot of fun" (with proof to back it, of course), I'll probably keep passing it on.
As for the attack boat, I don't really want to mod it beyond a more Cobra-worthy color scheme. It definitely looks quite ferocious as is.

The six cannons on the back resemble the Ontos (sp?) cannons, and is easily removeable. One of the figures has the face that resembles that Dirty Jobs host. The machine guns on the bow and sides don't look so hot.. but can be removed.
I think it's a great boat for customizing. It resembles the Cobra Hydrofoil. Might look good as a compliment to the Hydrofoil. I haven't seen anyone paint this with Python Patrol colors, but even that might look good on this boat.

Well like I said... I'd be getting this INSTEAD of a Moray. The Moray is fragile and expensive (all versions of it! Even the GIJoe one from 2005!
), so this would be my big Cobra naval thingie, with one or two of those small Corps attack boats with the humongous cannons and maybe a Hydro-sled or two to complement the fleet. My Joes would probably use two of the following: Valor Vs Venom Pirhana boat, PTE Patrol Boat or Corps Patrol Boat, depending on what I can get cheap enough. I've already got a Tiger Fish for the speed aspect of combat.
All that to say... I don't want this to complement a Hydrofoil, I basically want it to replace it.
(Also, why do the side guns on that thing need to be removed when no one says the same thing about the Moray?
)
By the way, Death_at_Midnight, I totally wanted to show you this earlier but couldn't remember the link:

Comparison of numerous Joe-scale humvees. Hopefully it can help you make a decision.
