This is #1 on my HasLab wish list.

Tiers I'd love to see would focus around the movie and some deep cuts. Lifeline, Hawk, and Dial Tone are all on the box art and we already have 2/3 of them so not likely to be those guys, same with how we already have Chuckles, Falcon, Jinx, and Tunnel Rat, here's my thoughts:

Cross Country obviously the driver, then:

T1: Big Lob - we never got him in the original line, it's time!

T2: Law & Order - though, maybe we get V2 so that "actual" Law & Order isn't stuck behind a HasLab?

T3: There was a repaint of the Havoc in 1990, and flying the little rocket craft thing was Skydive. I don't think we will get him anytime soon, so why not add him to this?

Same, they are a true disappointment. I don't mind the "inclusivity" of having them in different languages, but those file cards were something special that gave us a ton of information and were unique to each figure. Now it's just like "Cobra Commander is the Commander of the terrorist group Cobra, a ruthless terrorist organization determined to rule the world" ok guys that's a wrap, print it and translate it 5 times, thanks! 😩

I hope so. I miss out on a lot of the weibo leaks.

Stepping into industry pants a bit (I am already wearing them), you always want consumer input - before design, during, and prior to launch.

Look at MOTU Origins Snake Put - their "voters choose" sample (people could vote twice) may have hidden an impassioned split vote behind a common secondary vote. That is, people selected two items, but didn't rank them; if most chose Attack Trak or Fright Zone as their top choice, but both chose Snake Pit as their second, Snake Pit wins.

Then the actual design wasn't up to par with what consumers wanted - in design, in price. It was 1000% going to fail, and Mattel's consumer research (happening FAR too late in the process, about a week before the planned launch) was enough to get them to walk it back and postpone. Saving face, time, and money. But if they did that earlier they could have saved more time, money, face.

Also, large corporations are planning 2026 already. Hasbro knows (and may be already in early design stages of) not just the 2026 Classified release schedule, but they probably already know the 2026 Joe Classified Haslab. Even if it's known, you need customer input. As I tell my stakeholders, AI is great, but it's not enough.

Even if they knew the next few iterations, you have to do quality consumer research in order to make sure consumer are enthusiastic with the product, features, extras, and price.

No kidding haha

As someone that mostly uses the hisstank on his phone, I'd say at least a few times a day, I'm accidentally fat thumbing the user link under the thread title. I must be constantly on the visitor list of Dreadnok Twins because of this thread lol

EE shipped my Stinger...$53.49 total cost as I ordered the Stinger and next waves during their summer sale and they must have applied the total discount to the Stinger. This makes zero sense for them as a business unless they have restrictions on canceling preorders specific to sales periods. I could cancel the remaining preorders and walk away with a Stinger at nearly 50 percent off.

You won't. They'll charge you for the remaining $50 plus sales tax.

If the rumours of Hasbro ditching some of their IPs are true they might have more space in the year, sooner than one might think.
