No, that's you being naive. It's gotta pass the squint test. That's the golden ticket for the success of Classified, doubly so for a pricier HasLab. You can include updates, but at the end of the day, it has to resemble it's vintage namesake.

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?"

Last sentence of my post. ;) That's why I said I wasn't convinced that they couldn't be done as Pulse Exclusives. Even if it needs to be beefed up from the VAMP pricepoint to a new $129 pricepoint.

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 ?

$150-$200 isn't getting you two Classified figures with a large vehicle. Not when $80 gets you 3 "new" Classified figures in a pack, two (or even three) of which are basically repaints.

Why would it need 2 figures?

Are we sure Joe will ONLY fund stuff with ARAH?

I don't know the post '94 ARAH collecting world that well, but I know this is a current question in the Star Wars community amidst polls more and more showing the majority of fans are Prequel Trilogy kids or kids whose first Star Wars in theaters was the PT. And at some point they may have to start trying to tailor a Haslab to that group to at least see if they are a viable future base for the toys.

Was responding to 280-Customs saying it should have two figures for that price point.

Re-read the post you quoted.

Dude, you're suggesting ludicrous stuff that doesn't really make any sense. GIJC is firing on all 8s. Why in the world would any sane person think they would try and launch some rando vehicle when they have a top 20 they haven't even cracked.

$200, even with 2 figues, is Giant Man price territory. I don't see how they couldn't just include the drivers and at most, slap $129 on it.

Just out of curiosity - what IS the top 20 that could reasonably be a Haslab?

I feel many like the Stun and Snow Cat and Thunder Machine are too small. But then if they go balls to the walls with electronics I suppose like the HISS that would qualify more into Haslab territory?

Just always worried about an Engine of Vengeance scenario. Like imagine if the HISS came out now. There would be massive gnashing of teeth and endless videos of "The HISS isn't worth it!" because we have the VAMP and Stinger right there for $100 and even BANNED's Wagon for $185.

The snowcat was bigger than the Hiss, and is almost as long as the dragonfly. It's only slightly smaller than a MOBAT. We don't need bigger. Items that are even bigger than the Rattler are just not practical.

Maybe I'm alone here, but I don't want these things to get bigger than they already are. Hiss size was perfect. More of that please.
