It was one of the few vehicles I had as a kid. I think I got it on clearance at a Hills store after Christmas.

Sadly, when I was in my dark ages... I sold my original on ebay :(

Some of my earliest Joe stuff was from Hills. I miss that place. My first Joe purchase with my allowance was from Jamesway. A lot of those old department stores have gone the way of the dodo. Sorry not the point of your post I know, but I had hit of nostalgia bubble up.

I think the Havoc would do well as a haslab. I would def get one.

And any of us arguing about how practical vehicles are missing the point of the fun.

Saying "I wanted to let you know that we've had a couple of rounds of pre-orders for this item. This is why you may be seeing some orders being fulfilled ahead of yours. Rest assured your order is currently under review. Once review is complete, we will proceed with processing your order" I know I'll eventually get the figure, but it is definitely frustrating to see so many get theirs already while mine is in some review limbo. Not really sure what there is to review, the order was placed, it has a valid payment, shouldn't be much more than that.

My orders are in limbo still too.

I was just thinking...

Imagine that there are a bunch of collectors outside of a target on the release date of a very coveted exclusive GIJOE action figure. And you are there with them...

Suddenly the doors open and everyone scrambles to the toy section because we've all been told the toy is there. And as we all get there they are not in the main toy aisle and we all panic. Only for some guy to say
"Hey guys they are here, they are here!" and so we all scramble like neckbeards to the endcap.

But then you remember there was a collector in a wheelchair that was first in line but got left behind so you grab one for him. When he eventually makes it. You tell him, "Don't worry pal, I saved you one." And the guy gives a huge smile and you both take a selfie. #YOJOE

Then more guys come in but all the toys are gone. You feel bad for them. Only for a target employee with big dimples and a great smile to come in a forklift full of action figure boxes of this exclusive to say " Don't worry guys. There are plenty for everyone!" and we all yell "Yoo joooe!"

And then he says "And now you know know."

And you all say "And knowing is half the battle!"

And everyone yells "G IIIIIIIII JOOOOOOE"

The fact that winning the lottery is a more likely scenario than that is sad but it would make for a hell of a commercial.

Unless there is a drastic redesign I do not think the Havoc would fund. It is a rather ridiculous and ugly vehicle.

The Havoc was featured pretty prominently in the movie, so I think there is a chance, but given how many other vehicles would be much more in demand, I don't think it is likely to happen soon.

If it did happen, I'd personally have to see what else came with it and the price point to make it worth the value for me to buy/fund. It's probably not in my top 5 or even top 10 of potential HasLabs though if I'm being honest.

Regarding HasLabs, does it really always have to be a vehicle? I would LOVE to see the MASS Device as a HasLab. And it would be a perfect one to blend GIJOE and Cobra since they each had one. I'd probably have to back it three times (two for me, one for kid).

The current and previous HasLabs are both vehicles that were super low on my own wishlist though I think they turned out great. Now I keep seeing people talk about doing a Joe tank and that bores me even more.

At this point, I'd be very happy to get any kind if idle playset that is taller than it is wide as a HasLab to get a break from the long/wide vehicles.

Sounds like the first Hallmark GI Joe movie of the week.

Nothing wrong with that, Havoc for me was an important joe vehicle in my collection, i used it (Havoc), Armadillo, AWE Striker, Mobat, Skyhawk, RAM, Vamp 2, that was my typical Joe vehicle line up, as the years went by i would add and subtract, but typically that was my go to line up

[CobraChaos]

At 1 haslab a year it is going to take a while to get around to a Havoc. I think there will be other vehicles that will step in front of it.

As far as playsets go some of the larger ones or like a joe base could be modular at at cheaper price point and you could several of them a place together.

Except maybe 1/2 a Terrordrome I’m not sure I’m ready for an extra large base. Rather settle for Check point or watch tower.
