I wouldn't mind it scaling more with a real A-10, but I hope they would keep the VTOL engines (and, of course, they would). That's a big part of the Rattler's identity.

I want to see if/when Hasbro starts O-ring back up before starting to think about the next HasLab. Hasbro may decide that while the Skystriker succeeded, they'll get more ROI sticking with Classified.
That said, I do agree that Rattler seems like the obvious choice to counter the Skystriker. We'd already have the ground crew, though I'm sure no one would argue if one or two were repacked with it. I'd buy 3 to 5 of them, and I'm sure I'm not alone. Hear that, Emily? ;) |

The included pilot(s) could be 1987 Gyro-Viper action figures. If they decided to do an early bird special, they could offer a repaint of that action figure, which is Skydive, the 1990 G.I. Joe Sky Patrol Leader. Should the early bird goal not be reached, it wouldn't kill the project overall. Stretch goals could be other Cobra action figures for the troop-carrying pod, which might not otherwise see release other than this Haslab project.

I agree with you that it would be nice to know if the O-Ring line has much of a future beyond the year 2023, and if it does, I don't think that the Skystriker HasLab project should need to have a counter project planned for the future, because we're not placing these projects on a balance scale.

What would y'all add to a Rattler to make it a $200+ value? Sure seems to be a $70 vehicle by itself at best.

I'd gladly pay $200+ for an upgraded Rattler. Not having to worry about broken landing gear or the tabs on the turret canopy would make that totally worth it.

I would love this transport helicopter and would probably buy 2 or 3!

I have my 25th Rattler still in great condition with stress on the landing gear which makes me leary to raise or lower it. Haslab could very well improve upon the Rattler's original design flaws as they have done with the Sky Striker (the wing/landing gear issue) My pipe dream haslab would be a Haslab Hurricane VTOL with a release mechanism for the wings that locks into place rather than have plastic tabs. Such an underrated vehicle. Last edited by HitandRun; 11-11-2022 at 09:15 AM.. |

A few of you think that reinforcing a few small pieces justifies tripling the price - would you also agree that this would, if offered, get 9,000+ people to purchase if a crowdfund was offered with that product and pricepoint?
Remember, they have to design a product 8-10,000 people will pay for, not just us individually.
