I DIRECTLY quoted you. You said, "until the line dies or slows down". Dies. You lead with "dies".

I agree. I kind of want a dio-water-box thing in which the boat sat on a water sculpted surface and there were areas "under water" to pose figure "swimming". I currently have my Eels geared out on flight stands on an area by themselves because it seems a shame to pose them without gear. (I bought Mark2 Classic Gear Kits)

$100 Joe Set Thoughts:

Would they charge $100 for a MMS and Classic Hawk? The Heat Seek was $75 and didn't include a new figure... Could rationalize the price hike with that or just inflation.

Sky Hawk honestly seems most likely, except I'll be darned if I can think of a really clear figure choice to go with it. I guess they could recolor someone as a Sky Patrol figure or give us a Retro Flint?

Something I haven't seen mentioned yet are PAC RATS. A set of three with... someone... that might work in the price point. Do people care about them? They loom large in my memory of something people wanted but I have trouble seeing the 'Bro prioritizing these over the Sky Hawk. Scrap Iron's little buddy is probably the same-ish size as the RATS and wasn't his set still $45? I could see a three-pack and figure easily being $100. As a side note, can anyone use their brainwave scanner and tell me why I associate Tripwire with these? Because I definitely do, but I can't think why that would be. The comic?

I guess I could see a HAL and Grand Slam being $100, depending on the tooling of the HAL, but again, I'm not sure I see this as being one of the "must-have" items. Maybe? Selfishly I've been hoping we see silver-pads GS with the JUMP Station and pack first, but that's just because (say it with me) that was one of my favorites and earliest I had as a kiddo. I'm definitely "sure" this is coming but I have no reason to feel that way... just seems like a no-brainer to me; I don't think it would be $100. Maybe... depending on the details and fun stuff with the control panel, but I doubt it.

Polar Battle Bear I think is what I think is 2nd most likely. In my head I think of it as being in the same category as the Ferret, but I guess I could see it being more depending on the play factors they add or don't add.

Would be hilarious to get gliders. Has anyone calculated how long the span would have to be for them to actually work? Easily $100 just for packaging. I'd get them. I would hate myself for it, but I would.

You know, that's a fair point. I say I need an AWE Striker, but I'm not going to suddenly die if I don't have one, it's totally a want.

A new body on the other hand would be really helpful in me seeing ...the next 20+ years. I did not treat my first one very well and like so many toys, I'll end up buried under a ton of dirt soon enough as a result.

They just did a 3.75 TF collab Thunder Machine for $100. A Classified scale would be 1.5-2x that cost. It would be the biggest vehicle released not a HasLab by far.

Feel pretty confident if Serpentor & chariot were released today for first time it would be more than $80. That price point was a good testing point a few years ago. I would be surprised if they stay with it knowing can get $100 (at least).

But I think I am most interested/excited about what the Classy team would do with the Dreadnok TM and Trike; I would really love some up-designed versions that push the envelope. I like the uniformity of the JOE vehicles thus far, with the green & black decos representing the primary forces; AWE, MOBAT, WHALE also fit that mold. The Noks rides however, should just go nuts. I think you can take a lot of liberties with both of those original designs and make a truly badass three-wheeler and muscled up murder mobile that Zartan and his gang would all be proud of.

I am still pretty happy with my whip Devil Fish, but I would jump at an official replacement. Maybe it could come with Cutter or Topside. And as Fender noted, it should come with a similarly designed ?water? base for display.

The awe polar battle bear and devilfish are my most wanted pretty mich anything to do with water/snow/ice is what i would like to see .. living in a coastal city is great becausewe both love the water , but i miss the snow the seasons the ice storms here are all i have is hurricanes, love bugs & fireants , and they can all suck it .. im thinking the pbb will be less than the vamp but about the same as the hms those pics we saw a week or so ago with a bunch of old arah vehicles together gave IMO me/us some perspective the pbb armadillo the shark & devilfish were about vamp sized but w/out tires so less plastic , the flak was huge/long because of the way it connected to a vehicle in my opinion, it would be hard to sell a piece of artillery like that for 100 unless it came with a figure and some extra equipment . I dont know its tough to guess a price point i know i wasnt the only one thinking the hms would be $100 and the vamp $125.

Also I know we had our chance @ the ferret and im not complaining or trying to be a certain way , but i wouldnt mind them selling a 2 pack of ferrets only for $50 I would probably buy two of those packs maybe 3 , i have 5 currently and i had a plan for those 3 for the dreadnoks in lieu of not using my ML bikes or others 1 for ff&ss and one for the twins , but i like having the 5 scouts on them as a unit/pack of ferrets .. they dont look bad and they go well with the stinger driver .. i guess maybe if they were to make a hiss fireteam support ferret in all black w/grey/red accents and a battle trailer for it to haul w/some tools/equipment/weapons etc . Anyone

Way to stay focused on the future ?

-------

I think the AGP and Destro's Despoiler could reasonably be done as the same price point as the HMS as they are single person vehicles.
But the Ferret would be maybe a hair to small for those to be done well.

I think if they do make an AGP I would like them to include a docking port the same as the Despoilers to "future proof" it with a possible DEMON.

The only problem with the DEMON is as much as I feel it would make a great Haslab I also think it would disappoint me a lot to keep putting off the Cobra Moray Hydrofoil.

I do kinda wish they do a Gi Joe equivalent of a Titan Class price point (not counting the Jetfire-Skystriker that is rumoured for 2025 or 2026) as that would be ideal for a Demon. (so long as they can give it moving tracks still at that price point).

But part of the reason I say that is I really like Pixis one and I also really like his alt colour black and red version too. I don't think I'd "need" electronics but the problem is it does have that IR spot lamp on it so it kinda does suit Haslab really well especially with there being so many nice Club Characters they can use for the tiers too.

That is why I wonder if perhaps they should "cheat" and throw in a Destro Haslab outside the normal count and offer a Haslab every 9 months instead of every 12 months.

But I just say that as I want to get to some of the good stuff a bit quicker. But I get why they think one a year is a good idea to "keep it special" it just makes it so painfully slow.

I really want some sort of price point for things like a RAGE : https://www.3djoes.com/cobra-rage.html or a Razorback : https://www.3djoes.com/destros-razorback.html or an X-30 Conquest : https://www.3djoes.com/conquest-x-30.html or a https://www.3djoes.com/mean-dog.html that doesn't require a Haslab to do it.

I think a Mamba : https://www.3djoes.com/cobra-mamba.html is something they could just make and not have to be a Haslab for example.

That is even outside of that speculated $150 or $180 price point that things might get us stuff like a https://www.3djoes.com/cobra-wolf.html or a https://www.3djoes.com/persuader.html

That said I don't think I'd mind the Persuader getting a HISS tank like glow up at all. It would certainly work as a bulked up vehicle for sure.

It is just a little depressing that it could be 2035 and we'd still barely have a half dozen haslabs per faction at the current rate.

& without that "Titan class" or a bit smaller option so much would be missed out that might be fun to have.

Some additional skus could get us some fun stuff though like : https://www.3djoes.com/mudfighter.html or a https://www.3djoes.com/hammer.html or a https://www.3djoes.com/mobile-battle-bunker.html or https://www.3djoes.com/destros-dominator.html

////

I realise there is always going to be "bridge to far items" like https://www.3djoes.com/cobra-ice-sabre.html or https://www.3djoes.com/brawler.html or https://www.3djoes.com/cobra-earthquake.html

But that doesn't mean I wouldn't buy them if they made them.

/////

As we mentioned the other week I really actually kinda like the idea of smaller than a haslab planes like these two :

https://www.3djoes.com/storm-eagle.html
https://www.3djoes.com/cobra-liquidator.html

If they don't want to give us the more iconic X-30 that is.

Dude. 2035? I think you need to relax a little. Cannabis is a great thing. Hasbro is getting more right than wrong with this line. I am pretty sure 2025-2028 will be good years for gi joe. Just breathe, and realize every time they reboot the line, NO ONE gets everything they want and not everything will be made. Good luck and hope you get a lot of what you want in the future.
