Is there two?

It would make some sense for the early stream to be a pre-recorded thing dedicated just to the Haslab. Everyone is in San Diego and the Haslab launch will have plenty of promotional video and cut shots that would be easier to perform in studio. They probably recorded it last week at the home office and got the Haslab launch video edited and looking perfect so it can go up on the Pulse page when the campaign goes live. The Haslab prototype is straight out on the SDCC floor in its case ready for the public to see when the doors open.

The evening event is one of those deals in a ballroom with everyone up front at a table and showing slides on a screen. I do not see that as good launch for a Haslab. Terrible sound and blurry pictures. This is the kind of event I see new name drops and digital render reveals that will pop up on social media the next day.

My guess of how things will go down tomorrow. But who knows for sure?

Star studded . . . Sounds like an opportune time to reveal IG Destro too! I know it is highly unlikely for this event and the wave timing etc.; but that is who I am now most excited for

Edit: I would take a v 5 Destro for the Crimson Strike Team too*

Give me a 'figures only' tier. That'd blow up the whole HasLab though... so I realize it would never work.

I hated the idea of tiers... But being able to order multiple sets of the figures, or order only the figures is a great idea.

My wholly uninformed guess is that the Cantina was an experimental dabble that they wouldn't plan to roll out further without measuring its success. They wouldn't have time to do that for the Joe HasLab (which I will not refer to as the Rattler until it is confirmed because I futilely do not want it to be a Rattler).

On the other hand, Hasbro do be cray cray sometimes.

[The_Goon_0001]

I'm hoping that the initial offering of The Rattle (If it is indeed the Rattler) is that it comes with what the OG had

- Plane
- Pilot - Wild Weasel
- Battle Damage
- Stickers
- Weapons loadout of all bombs and missiles

The weapon loadout should not be a tier or blast effects. If so, it's a waste of a tier.

[Mavrick]

I don't think the weapon loadout will be a tier. I'm pretty sure it will be the same as the dragon fly were you get everything in the base offering and the tiers are figure

Wise on both counts.
