Vehicle releases may also depend on the quality we are willing to accept. The Fortnite boat is nowhere near the quality and detail of the Haslab HISS, but appears to be of similar quality to the previously released Classified motorcycles. Perhaps Classified vehicles of similar size, detail and price could be viable? I simply cannot see $300 general release larger vehicles being a viable business model.

I would think that in a similar fashion to how the Joe figures themselves trump BS and ML in terms of overall quality and detail (not to mention the fact that each character by necessity has a substantial loadout), a similarly sized and priced vehicle would likely have much more going on than this Fortnite boat. Certainly nowhere near what we're seeing with the HISS, of course, but vehicles like the Water Moccasin, Armadillo, or even a Slugger, Wolverine, or Stinger should totally be doable in high detail for somewhere between $60-$150 depending. The savings from licensing fees are definitely passed on to us. That's not reflected in the MSRP, but rather in the amount of care given to all aspects of this line.
