Lol yeahhhh, I'm with you. I always thought it was dumb as hell. If somehow the bridge layer is the next Joe Haslab, I'm officially out already. Not only would it be huge in this scale, I just don't see the display opportunities. I'm not playing with this shit in my backyard anymore, so the only bridge it might be laying would be between my desk and bookshelf. I just don't see the point.

I know it's blasphemy around here, but I think the CLAW is equally stupid. Same with the Cobra Jetpack. I know Cobra has an overall lack of concern for safety and human life, but boy those 2 vehicles make no sense.

Yeah the bridge layer has nostalgia but part of that was that it used to be considered a joke vehicle in a way. It is based on an actual vehicle though so it does have military grounding.

Especially since they refuse to do flight stands to the smaller flying vehicles.

Even the Fortnite line knew to give the gliders flight stands. Trouble Bubble and Claw really feel like they could have had them included after the sheer mass and complexity of the Ferret in comparison.

A vehicle for many figures? 2 maximum? That's what I think about the bridge layer man... You should buy the one from Ramen Toy if you like it that much. I personally thinking in getting their black tank.

Put me in the "hell no to a $300 bridgelayer" camp. Way too big for my self and just not that interesting. I even love Tollbooth, wear a hardhat at work, and have designed a couple bridges in my life. Still, not interested.

The thing would also be $300 to $350 and not worth it for the real estate it would gobble up.

That's a really nice looking Crimson Army setup, brother. Have you ever thought about putting any lighting over them?

I am super down for Tollbooth and hope he makes it into the line vehicle, or not, like many of the other pilots/drivers we've all discussed.

I will make a bridge layer HasLab happen just to watch all those who oppose it turn and fund it.

I'm not a fan of the CLAW either. I'd also like to add that I don't like the FANG. As far as one-person flight vehicles go, I'd pick a Trubble Bubble over the FANG any day. I'm glad we already got two variations of that.

I feel like I spend so much time constantly re-arranging my ever changing collection of things that I haven't had a chance to do some of that sort of thing. To answer the question though, yes I've thought about it for sure and would definitely like to if I can get everything where I want for more than a few days at a time.. haha

I suspect IKEA has lighting designed specifically for these (the ever popular Billy bookcases).

You have inspired me to research this more....
