It's nice but not $350 worth. I bought a larger Figma size Tank a few years back for like $150 that was also motorized. I've bought 1/12th diecast cars with opening parts off of AmiAmi for like $200.
What makes this cost so much? |
Car looks nice. But wow, 350... I'll wait and see. Maybe throw in a classic flaming skull head and a Gabriel Luna head (a real stretch in more ways than one) as stretch goals. I am most familiar with this incarnation from the Agents of SHIELD TV show.

Hasbro is fuckin’ crazy if they think this garbage is worth 350.

My lord that's a lot of money. I don't know about the price justification on that but it is pretty. I was expecting $200 with maybe a couple of tiers but this is nuts. Granted the car is a lot more complex than I thought they were going to get. I have the Bratz FM Cruiser and that thing is a masterpiece that I got for only $40 last year and it probably costed even less than that when it was released in like 2005. It has: rubber wheels that turn, opening doors, opening trunk, a working glove compartment, moveable gear shift, light up head & tail lights, working horn,seats with actual removable soft goods seat covers, steering wheel that actually turns the front tires, a removable rubber steering wheel cover, working seat belts, removable rubber floor mats, and finally a working fm radio with audio control. I'm honestly not even sure if I got everything. Oh yeah the dashboard has a clear plastic cover over the speedometer and you can lock the doors which is just another nice little touch. If you have the money go for it, but I admit I feel a little spoiled by what I already have and what it's given me in comparison. OneTwelveGarage had put up a Charger a few months ago on BigBadToyStore for $100. Some of you could go that route and see if someone sells the Robbie individually or make a custom and put it in there.I actually had it preordered but pulling out the FM Cruiser it just paled in comparison. It looked like ass. The Haslab fares much better. One thing I'm wondering is if they have to pay licensing to produce that car model. I don't know enough about cars to know whether that's a specific model or if it's been designed generically enough to avoid. The FM Cruiser for example is a Cadillac but not any specific model of car hence no royalties to produce it.

This looks really cool..... but $350? Ouch. Not worth it IMO.
I get they kinda price in the stretch goals with the asking price, but I feel like with previous (successful) HasLabs they strike a better balance, where the initial asking price seems a bit steep for what's initially presented but not outrageous, and then once all the stretch goals are reached it seems like somewhat of a bargain. With this one the initial asking price is WAY over for what's initially presented, and even with each stretch goal being a whole 6" figure I can only just see the whole package including stretches seeming like a semi-decent value for the money. |
$350 is insane for what's right there.
There is no realm where $3 million dollars is needed to develop that. Remember, each tier is an additional amount of funding dollars to cover the new unlock's development costs, etc. |
I'd like to point out that in the Target system now is a McFarlane 1989 Batmobile listed for $80 for a Fall release, and is scaled for his 7" figures. So yeah, the price on this Haslab is absurd when compared to that or the HISS Tank or other recent kickstarters. This will be the first Marvel Haslab I pass on, and based on comments here it sounds like others will be too. The car is impressive, but not $350 impressive, and Ghost Rider has never interested me that much. Hopefully the tier stretch goals are really impressive to help justify this price for those backing it.

Someone at SDCC asked if they'd do marvel fortnite skins and some dipstick on the hasbro panel yelled "no! Not doing it!"
Well as for crowdfunding this "No! Not doing it" |

Very strange they'd just dismiss it outright. |

I guess I am old school, I'd rather have seen Johnny Blaze and the motorcycle. I was too late to get the XM Studios, and this could have been its replacement.
|
Looks gorgeous IMO... but I already switched to "deep clearance stuff," "must buys only," and "time to finish the holes in my teams" mode for my marvel legends collecting.
|
The Hiss tank was a bargain compared to this. Also, if anyone over at Hasbro is reading, if you ever decide to do an X-Men animated series Blackbird Haslab, I may just be convinced to go all in on the line, please and thank you.

I'm getting real vibes of "we tried to solicit this to retailers and they said no to the box size so we added a couple features and called it a Haslab." Take away the swap-out street accessories, drop the moving interior parts, and I could see this on a store shelf for $80.

@ gizmotron maybe but hasbro already has marvel and fortnite 6" licenses

Until we see the Mcfarlane Batmobile, I'm not sure it's evidence of anything.
I had a chance to visit Target. Saw their RC and 1:12 car selection. On the RC side you have paper thin hollow plastic coverings. On the other you have solid bricks that have no interiors. Much much "articulated interiors". It's not just volume. We got multiple LED lights installed. The multiple accessories for the fire and normal mode. Plus the figure itself. I still think it's at least $100 too expensive despite all of this. Moreso I'm surprised they couldn't get this on the fanchannel train at least. The bottom of the car needs to be painted because for $350 I expect every mm of that thing to have paint. I think we all have the same sentiment. It looks good, not for it's price point good. Though some people are being venomous like Hasbro is a drug dealer that beats your puppy if you don't pay up. |

Because the dollar store buys in bulk to get those prices down. But that's really the expensive part. It's wiring up those LED lights that ups the cost. |
