So like DFender initially had said, probaby getting the DF the week of Xmas.

He also tweeted 2.5 weeks ago that Nemesis Immortal hit US shores.

PulseCon or 1027 on-sale?

Curious if someone who understands the logistics of shipping at this scale can provide some context why "hits US shores in late August" translates into "expect it to ship 4 months from now." Is there any chance it could move much faster than that?

Yeah, probably is going up for pre-order at Pulse-Con and shipping out in November.

I have no clue about shipping logistics, but I can only imagine it takes a while to get to and go through all the containers the product may be inside (I assume they are in more than a few and scattered when they initially ship from Asia), get the product out, inventoried and sent out to the Fedex distribution hub in Chino (where all HasLabs ship out from).

If they went with moving treads for the Armadillo, that might push it up to $100. I?m perfectly fine with fixed treads at a lower price, but Lenny and team have made the premium feel a priority, so I?m not sure if they would opt for fixed treads or not.

I don't think we should expect what a $100 vehicle would give us in 2024 to be the same as in 2025.

I was thinking with the short conversation about the line ending, what figure do you think is the first sign of the line coming to an end?

I think when they release a chameleon figure (baroness's sister?), they are scraping the bottom of the barrel. That would be baroness with a slightly different suit and glasses

They could release her next year and there'd still be tons of well-known characters they "need" to do. I don't have a specific list of who still needs a figure, but for example if the line died before they did Interrogator, that would be an upset for me.

Yep, I definitely could do with a
new Cover girl and
Falcon version.

I can't really think of a single figure that would be a harbinger of the end for me. I'll support pretty much anything I like. Ice Cream Soldier? If they make him great - yes. Sean Collins Snake Eyes / Throwdown? Sure. Most lower-tier characters and figures actually excite me.

Regarding the Sky Hawk to VAMP comparison. I took my 25th anniversary VAMP and Sky Hawk down and compared them. Sky Hawk is actually longer. Granted, they beefed up the Classified VAMP a bit (but not too much). I suppose they?d do the same with the Sky Hawk. So maybe they could have similar pricing.

I would expect a much larger Skyhawk, one that is beefed up to classified scale, heavier skids, missiles, missile effects, pilot, its actually a larger vehicle if you look at it in compairison to other joe vehicles, its a VTOL which means larger engines plus the tail fins, $100 isnt out of the realm of possiblities especially when you sit down and think what would be coming with this, its much larger than the RAM and Flight pod which were in the $50 range, its larger than both the Devilfish and Polar battle bear

Thanks for posting the size comparison. That definitely helps put these two vehicles in perspective.

I agree. I think the Classified team is going to hit it out of the park when they choose to produce a Skyhawk, and I?m now convinced it will earn a $100 price point.
