When I was about 10 or 11 I remember purchasing Battle Corps Major Bludd and was so happy to read through the "Premium Offers" booklet. I knew it was going to be a tough sell but I convinced my parents to order me a Hiss as well as three figures: Sgt. Slaughter, Serpentor, and Spirit. Six to eight weeks later imagine my disappointment when I find my Hiss has been substituted with a SHARC - a vehicle I already had - and my Spirit was dressed up in neon (only in the Internet era did I find out it was an "Air Commandos" version).
Growing up shortly after the glory years all I really had to go by were the Sunbow cartoon repeats and hand-me-down toys from relatives. Had I known what a Cobra Officer was I would have been in for one for sure and probably a Stinger Driver too.
