I agree don't do it. I bought two of the TELEVIPER/TB sets, and while I love them, I have no room to display two of these with all the other items especially with the size of the HISS and VAMP. I wanted to order 2X Ferret and talked myself out of it and even skipped the HMS because of size restrictions.

Gonna pass on that Tumbler. It looks cool but honestly, too many 1/12 vehicles in my little room already. And I have the Voldemort Wagon on order plus a Ramen Racer that has STILL not shipped.
That said, if they release The Batman Batmobile I'd be all over that. Could go as a Dreadnok car. I kinda love the Walmart exclusive Batmobeast as a Dreadnok machine. |

Don't do it.
As someone who also has a problem with buying similar scale and themed things because "hey, that could work... maybe You end up with a bunch of stuff that "could maybe sorta" look cool that you never get around to displaying Right now is a very active time in the collector toy arena and stuff is coming out left and right, stick to things that perfectly fit what you already want instead of stuff that looks cool but only kind of works. Ive got a big pile of unused vehicles I bought on clearance over the years hoping to customize but who knows if I'll ever get to any of them. If I passed on the HMS for space/desirability reasons, I certainly don't need a Tumbler hanging around. I say yes. And also I would buy one. I might not need a Tumbler, but I'm all-in on the GI Joe Snow Car and its many repaints. |

These are wise words. I've actually wanted a camo version of the Tumbler in 1:12(ish) scale since the movie came out and was trying to justify it as Joe-adjacent, but I know this is EXACTLY what would happen.

Its a slippery slope right now when it comes to collecting, 6? is the new 4? and with so many vehicles coming out from so many companies/genres , its real easy to get sucked in to buying them all . I picked up the cheaper 12? scale batwing on clearance from target for $10 and plan on making it not so cheap looking making the cockpit more detailed and fit 2-3 6? figures but as it stands its Still in the box waiting for me to work some magic on it .. eventually i will i would say maybe a winter project but there isnt any snow here to keep me inside ..

I kind of wonder when we'll reach a tipping point on 1/12 and 1/10 vehicles.
Unless you have lots of space you pretty much have to limit yourself to one line or two in terms of large vehicles. It's no longer "grab a container and stuff your collection of vehicles into it". These things have boxes the size of closets, espeically the Haslabs. |

If I had an extra $500 to spend it would go towards something like this: https://ecollectibles.ca/products/fr...utive-replicas Ditto for this guy, this is what I would like to add to my world and have the Joes and Cobras as part of it (Mindbender experiments gone wrong). https://ecollectibles.ca/collections...-maestro-union Same with a Cobra La, have the new Mythic Legions Egyptian gods, as part of their faction. |

For a lot of us when it comes to vehicles our eyes are bigger than our stomaches. That includes me. I tallied up the list their our 30 vehicles I want but currently struggle displaying a Vamp, Air Chariot, and 2 Trouble Bubbles. It?s a good problem to have.
