Any Haslab vehicle thread would indicate how important figures are to selling them.

The o-ring ARAH line may have been focused on vehicles, but when it comes to Classified, the figures are what is selling this line in my opinion.

When I was originally collecting Joes in the early 80?s, I wanted all the figures and many of the vehicles were just what I had to buy to get Covergirl or Tollbooth.

Any of you tankers put the grid iron black autocannon type H on the stinger? Got any pics?

Amazon shipping is weird. Stinger shipped from a facility like 30 min away and instead went across the country to now make its way back lol

The Jada Streetfighter stuff had 6 figures due in December now 3 are still listed as December & the other 3 are listed as Feb.. what is really weird though is a entire wave of Hiya Toys Judge Dredd just showed up... considering the Situation with Gi Joe that is kinda Bizarre to me.

I guess I'll army build some Night Creepers or something while I wait for anything seriously delayed. Or save up in anticipation of a winter sale.

I might even "shock" buy some Transformers for a change.

I still watch the cartoon semi-regularly and will have it on in the background sometimes on a lazy day or late at night if I am up late. I started reading the comics just recently (have never read most of it save for 3 or 4 issues as a kid).

The Sunbow cartoon is pure escapism for me and it's hard not to smile and have a good time while watching it. I love the animation, the music score, the voice acting, the plots, etc. Nostalgic bliss.

I recently picked up the entire DIC series DVD box set and intend to watch those. Only seen maybe 5 or 6 episodes of that one.

Mine said "delivered" yesterday and it was a package for the house across the street. No idea where my Stinger went, there were no Amazon boxes sitting in front of any other houses on the street. Also had parts for my PC in the box.

I knew that driver would fuck it up when they put his face on my tracking page.

So the current word on the street is "X1 $100 vehicle in 2025"

But that statement has me stroking my chin.

Does that mean just that price point what about something "More expensive" or something cheaper ?

What about smaller vehicles / accessories / giftsets.

Like wouldn't it be reasonable to "expect" an MMS in 2025 ?

Does that Price point statement mean 1 New vehicle (like say a Sky Hawk or AWE Striker or a STUN) or 1 vehicle 'period' even if it is just a Tiger Sting or a VAMP II.

What about store exclusives though.. what about the possibility of a Tiger Sting or a Python Stinger in Target or a Night Force Vamp in Walmart ?

Would those be known about or even counted towards that total if "hypothetically" is was a Hasbro version of a Sky Hawk or a Sharc or whatever it might be.

Then there is the question of CLAWS repaints or a possible FANG copter.
Let alone more of moulds we've already had plenty of that just kinda appear like the NPC + Shockwave kinda did.

I just find it "not very likely" that between Sept 2024 & December 2025 they will only release a single vehicle at $100 when we got the Stinger and the Vamp only a few months apart.

The only way I can see that making sense is if they are "starting over" on a new mould.

But to my mind if they really are going to only do the one $100 vehicle in 2025 then that seems like more of a reason to release a Snow Cat or a Thundermachine in the same year and quite early in the year too so it doesn't step on the toes of the 2025 Haslab.

There is also the lingering question of Emily's statements about the Hiss Mold too where she was very very careful and specific in her wording about it that seemed to not rule out repaints or a retro version.

She went out of her way to make sure she was saying "Classified Hiss" I think she also said something once about really wanting to do a Crimson Hiss too (which to be honest makes sense as it would allow them to do things like a Crimson Missile System on top).

If for example they were going to risk some people's ire and actually release an Arctic of Crimson Hiss in 2025 then that would also be a reason why they'd only have a single $100 vehicle out and why they might kick the Thunder Machine and Snow Cat can down the road.

I don't know though, Hasbro being Hasbro I can easily see them pulling a surprise Dreadnok Ground assualt out of nowhere. I just don't know if I think that would actually be a good or a bad idea to release a Stinger repaint before or after the Thunder Machine.. It just seems like a long way to wait for after.. and yet one might also say that colour scheme is "low priority" or that they'd really rather just have a minor remould of the Punisher Cycle for the Dreadnoks (or something similar to that) anyway.
