Its funny we talk about the cost difference between the Vamp and Stinger, when the trouble bubble was released through pulse it was $55 when target got the same item repainted it was $45, my point is there will not be alot of difference between the Vamp and stinger, yes, the twin guns will be swapped for missiles and there will be doors and canopy how much difference will that make in cost thats not clear as we could expect a new mold for the missile rack, the missiles themselves and the canopy and doors.

Of course, that could be attributed to the VAMP coming out the same year the line debuted, so the tooling was all new.

This team is obviously very forward thinking in how they plan releases, as well as how the vehicles interact etc. Who's to say that they haven't already factored in and have the tooling already done / paid for by the original vamp for any future reuse? Just a random thought..

I'm guessing that the Stinger as a stand-alone release would retail for the same amount that the VAMP did. The extra plastic may add a little to the cost to manufacture, but they can re-use so much of the VAMP that there's probably savings for design and mold creation to offset it. They can probably cut the gas cans, gas can rack, and winch to help make up for the missiles being added.
Besides, it's probably going to be another PULSE exclusive where Hasbro gets to eat the whole profit margin. I'd bet they're still making a healthy amount of money on these things at $100, even with added doors/roof and a missile launcher instead of guns. |

I guess I stand corrected. Roadpig is Highway/pet. Magik sorry man. I still find it weird we are having two dreadnaughts back to back with a pet.
I would think the stinger will be the same price as the Vamp. Also I got my first Techno Viper in last night. He is pretty sweet |
