I wasn't expecting much from the lil' Duel Launcher...playset...thingy, but it's a pretty damn cool set! You can have two short drag lanes, two short drag lanes with a ramp at the end, or a pop-up extension on one of the ramp to do a backflip (which works...sometimes)! I love that it comes with a truck OTHER than Grave Digger or a generic World Finals design. I'm totally purchasing the Triple Blast...I forget the rest of the name of the set as soon as I get paid, the parts will make a nice addition to my arena (and an extra Northern Nightmare to bang up if I please).

Are the Batman & Samson trucks worth picking up? I mean, Im not a big collector of these but after Grave Digger and Grinder, I dont know many others. Samson looks similar to the old American Gladiator truck I knew and Batman....well its Batman haha

New Batman? Has it changed this season? The only difference I can tell (via GIS) is that it has weird wheel covers this year.
I put out some new two-packs this past week, Digger/Son-Uva Digger and Winter Ice Monster/Backdraft. I don't see any differences between them and the single-pack releases, but it's a pretty good deal for those who missed out on Son-Uva Digger the first time around.
...I hope that doesn't mean they're done with the Then & Now sets, though.

Here are my Sting trucks that I bought when they first came out in 2000. I know that the smaller one sells for $30+ on eBay now.

Because my Batman is from the old Metal series with the smaller wheels it doesn't fit in with the newer trucks

Do you have a Superman? If not, I'd wait until the Batman/Superman pack comes out, it looks pretty damn good. Either way, the Batman trucks all pretty much look the same (some are painted glossy, others are matte), so you're good either way.

Funny thing is that all my Kmart has is Superman and it's the Mud Trucks version and they have like 4 or five of them there as of Saturday. I had no idea there will be a Batman/Superman 2pack.

Well, it shows a picture of them on the back of the aformentioned playset with Northern Nightmare to promote the line, so I'm assuming it'll be out soon.
Speaking of Mud Trucks...do any of you purchase them? I only do when it's of a particular truck I missed the boat on years ago and they don't appear in any lineup for the forseeable future. Right now, I only have one that I don't have a regular version of, and that's the red Iron Outlaw. The only other truck I'd get in Mud Trucks today would be Pouncer, since the clean version is going for A LOT on Amazon and eBay, and I'd rather not pay that much for a truck I only want to finish out the "P-named cat" team.

The Walmart I work at just set up a trend pod (spot at the end of the aisle with a certain theme on all three sides) with Hot Wheels and Monster Jam depicted, hopefully that means there'll be more new cases showing up soon.

Just ordered the Crash Cage...and I'm already feeling buyer's remorse. What in the hell am I gonna do with it?! At least it gives me an excuse to pull out the acrylic pens to color in Digger's headlights.

Also Monster Jam Superstore has a 12 inch Dennis Anderson figure www.monsterjamsuperstore.com/Dennis_Anderson_Grave_Digger_Action_Figure_p/141.htm
