I desperately want another FLAGG playset that I dont have spend over $300 on EBAY for. Wether it be the old one or a completely new one maybe oh I dont know one that looks like the RESOLUTE FLAGG. From what I have read on here so many of you want it too. So sign my petition. Not that Hasbro will care.

I would probably pay $300 if it was new and I was picking it up at a store, not having it shipped to me after being 25 years old. I would hope they would keep the cost to around what a Giant Millenium Falcon cost though.

Need to specify if would be okay with a scaled down version of the Flagg (say just the tower and deck), okay with the deck being a plastic mat possibly, okay with it maybe being three seperate parts that have to buy seperatly.... Everyone wants a Flagg, but if really want Hasbro to take a petition seriously have to think about it realistically and what concessions would be okay to make in order to get it within a desired price range. First would have to figure out what the acceptable price range is for the fans and go from there. So Hasbro looks at a petition that says the fans want a new Flagg, they go and spend all the money to produce one, convince the retailers that it would sell if on the shelves (that's a helluva lot of shelf space taken up by 1 item), and go and get it done and it retails for $500. How many people that sign the petition would buy it then? Probably not enough. It becomes a huge bomb and Hasbro and the retailers shy away from ever doing anything that the fans request because the fans requested this and didn't buy it. And saying "i'll wait until it gets clearanced if it's that much" is not helping, because clearance the retailer is losing money. It has to sell at retail price. Come back with a realistic plan and set price and then maybe I'll sign.

I see the chance of another full up aircraft carrier as 0%. However, I wouldn't be surprised if they did a play set of just the tower/bridge/mission control portion.

Why do you have to be so negative? It doesn’t have to really float, or even be 7ft long. And how come its so hard to do, they did it in 1986 or whenever the first one came out, I’m not sure what they retailed for but I doubt they were $500.00 maybe they were, I’m sure somebody on here knows. I just don’t like the defeatist attitude and calling it realistic, the reality is they made it once before it’s not such a fantasy. But hey thanks for ruining my Christmas though I appreciate it.

Sorry but if do it, do it right.
Big difference between negativity and reality. The PIT retailed for $100, use that as the base. Look what it was compared to what a Flagg would be, dream Flagg. At least 5x the amount of plastic, 5x the size (at least), so probably at least 5x the cost.

I would rather have a JSI made Aircraft carrier that is in scale for their F-14.
