While not that high of a price range, Jazwares sorta tested those waters pre-pandemic with the Fortnite Battle Bus. It wound up getting clearanced out after warming hard and still struggling after offered to Amazon with an extra figure. It's still available online. They also did what with the Halo Mantis Mech. Also wound up being clearanced out because it just didn't sell. Bought both pre-clearance (the bus for my son and the Mantis to go with my ME Joe collection as a Metal Gear stand-in) and both are awesome. Both had that "wow-factor" for their perspective brands and were more than reasonably priced, and if they didn't sell at that pricepoint....

I wonder if they should save larger vehicles for online retail only, but ive not seen the data on what sold, like jazwares keeps pumping out vehicles for fortnite in the 20-30 dollar range so maybe thats the sweet spot. But I'm trying to figure out from COD what vehicle is in that range

I agree. Figure and a multi-passenger vehicle for $20-$30 seems to be working for them. If they do something similar with CoD (something like a buggy is fine, but an ATV/bike wold be seen as overpriced), I can see it selling just as well.

I am kind of surprised that I don't see the Halo Warthog getting continually restocked. To me that is iconic, but I am not deep into the Halo lore. I know nothing about Call of Duty. Anything iconic with that francise?

-------That Mantis was not a well designed vehicle, and the Mantis was not exactly the most popular Halo vehicle to begin with. Did not surprise me it went on clearance sadly.
Really though, we have no idea what is normal for the Jazwares Halo line. It started during Covid, so we got weird shit like the famous Warthogs never making it to physical stores and going to Amazon in absurd numbers. ------The Fortnite Battle Bus though, that one is indeed concerning. The only explanation I can guess is it's a niche item and that balloon looks like a pain in the ass and you can't exactly carry fly the bus like a toy airplane. Hence, it's just a boring display piece. |

I wouldn't count the Battle Bus out. I see it getting constantly restocked at a lot of Target stores. I know there are a lot of Battle Buses shipped into the country on a regular basis. I think I heard somewhere that since the Battle Bus is iconic to Fortnite, it stays in production.

Anything iconic with that francise? The Warthog is surprising though. One would think it'd be treated the same as the Battle Bus. Quote:

Hence, it's just a boring display piece. I picked up my Warthog at Target, so it did make it to some stores. That, I'd chalk up to retail distribution failures if yours never got one (assuming, of course they didn't sell out and just didn't get restocked).

the suck. Nothing new I guess. I'll go cry that the Roblox and Spinmaster have become the new Overlords of the aisle alongside Landos and movie Snake Eyes. Least I always get the most recent Jurassic Park Dinos because Children actually buy those. |

I wanted a Scorpion tank in the 4inch Halo line, I don't think that vehicle has ever gotten a toy and I think it would have sold better than the Mantis.
I hope the COD vehicles are realistic military vehicles. The main reason I've skipped all the Fortnite figs is the less realistic style. Really curious if it will be Modern warfare or WWII COD stuff. I really really hope whatever the small vehicle is it isn't another ATV. There have been so many 1:18th scale ATVs, I have no need of anymore of them. |

Add those stupid sticky stretch-em Marvel things, and Joe ReAction figs, and that fits the description of mine as well. The 4" Jurassic Park figures are awesome though.

Are the DC Spinmasters rotting? I always tend to see them sell through on a weekly basis at my local Target.
