I can't help but think that they are bilking collectors of the TC Ultimates line, who know that this is probably the only chance they'll ever have of receiving this vehicle. (They're also being told as much on many a toy podcast by the hosts discussing it....applying further pressure.)

Super 7 knows this too and are really sinking into that. If this was of Hot Toys quality like some of the vehicles they've done...I could see that. In the end though, this is going to be largely hallowed out plastic, and while I'm happy for TC fans finally getting what they want, I kinda feel sorry for them as well as if feels like Super 7 is taking them for a ride.

Basically 90% of the stuff including the bluetooth radio/speaker in that Power Wheels is re-used from their other products. They had to make the few molds for the outer shell, and those molds are cheaper. They're not refined down to the level of what these toys are. No one cares if there's a minor bump/bend in a Power Wheels fender.

Absolutely nothing from the Thundertank is re-used. Everything on it will be straight as an arrow and fit perfect.
