Not sure why they couldn't just give us the Snowcat as is.

I'm no purist, but this is one situation where the vehicle doesn't need much updating. It was already pretty futuristic looking.

And see, that's the thing, Toa, the Joe fanbase is exponentially larger than you and your opinion, which like the business behind that gif you shared, is inconsequential now.

I do think the fandom will be more open to something different if its a good product than you're giving them credit for

Problem is this just doesn't remotely scream Haslab and would feel like a size downgrade.



Especially now that we have the VAMP and Stinger, which aren't Haslabs, this thing would just be like the Engine of Vengeance and Rancor ie "Why is this a Haslab?"

I do think they'd do the Snow Cat instead of anything else arctic for the Joe in that size area. THe real question is would they do a Cobra arctic vehicle?

It screams the Jabba's palace or Dragon Man model.

I do think they need to lock in payment though and prevent cancellations (and potential clearance). Just treat it like a haslab without the counter.

ie not Haslab.

I remember that was a big complaint we just had about the Cantina. "Why is this a Haslab when Boba's Palace isn't? The value just isn't there!".

And that was legit when $225 got you Boba's Palace and $400 got you only part of the whole Cantina.

I agree NAM 1000% ,that thing wouldnt even come close to being fully backed the white one maybe but that blue is terrible i bought them both for my son and he never liked the blue one as much . It would have to be the arah snowcat which i think they could do for 150-200 possibly i would be down for 2 make it a made to order like the upcoming legends dragon man will be ?cant wait for that figure? btw give it 2 figures for that price point does it need to be a haslab probably not ,should it be imo NO ?

Those two newer versions are so weak compared to the original. It takes away the tires and change the whole look of it. Its almost a havoc with skies with that back hatch ?

So basically what Boba's Palace was. It was less that people canceled and more that people just skipped it and then unfortunately it came back and went to clearance.

Will be curious to see if this happens to Sabine/Chopper and the E-Wing.

The VAMP clearly won at this as it hasn't come back and just rocketed in price.
