"Yo Joe June" is just in a few days. We're most likely not gonna hear about anything new until then.
No Haslab this year, what else could get you actually excited this Yo Joe June?
>>11797551They informed as about the Classified Lara Croft
>>11797526New rumor is 2 pack of Ninja Force Snake Eyed and new Ninja Force Jinx
>>11797617Where'd you get that there's no HASLAB this year? GI Joe has been their consistently successful series in the HASLAB line.
>>11797617It will be the Thunder Machine or a sea vehicle
>>11797624The teaser appeared on both the official Tomb Raider and GI Joe instagrams. It's not a rumor. It's coming soon since this is the year of Lara's 30th anniversary, and we're already in the fifth month of the year.
I bought so many GI Joes lately
>>11797652The hasbro leaker who posts on hisstank said so, he's almost always right.
>>11797670Link? I have my doubts because every Joe HASLAB has been such a success
>>11797652Likely smaller made to order vehicles or stripped down larger ones. Like a MOBAT but without the extra addons exclusive figures or electronics. Likely why Steeler was released in that target two pack ahead of time.
>>11797686I'd be 100% with it if it brought prices down. Adding more shit doesn't give you more for the money; it only helps to raise the price.
>>11797673https://www.hisstank.com/forum/5944107-post8715.htmlhttps://www.hisstank.com/forum/5944286-post8788.htmlHe's cutesy about it at first but clarifies it a bit in a follow up post.
When do all the other lines do their haslabs? Star Wars, Transformers, and Marvel. I don't think any one has had one yet this year.
>>11797693I'm hoping that the massive Tron flop didn't ruin it for everything else.
>No tease or announcement on Memorial Daythats kinda lame. I need a fix before Yo Joe June.
>>11797686>stripped down Im here for it. Give me a shells with seats and we’re good as far as I’m concerned
>>11797690That sucks. There isn't a single Classified that "just barely made it." They've all done well. >>11797731Same here. I don't need clear plastic "rocket blasts and cannon-fire."
>>11797738Guess the new Made-To-Order system replaced it
>>11797810They could have at least said something instead leaving everyone to linger, especially after the Thunder Machine being floated for years now.
>>11797870It's always been a fan request but never something Hasbro has specifically teased. That said I'd rather it be a $200 made-to-order item with a single figure then a $400 month long Haslab campaign with a bunch of extraneous accessories and electronics. I mean, the lights on the HISS tank are cool and all, but I wouldn't have been upset if they didn't exist and the price of the thing had been $50 cheaper or something. Also, the Made-To-Order system means that Haslabs could theoretically be even larger vehicles and sets since there'd be a mid ground between retail releases at $100 and Haslab releases at $400. Like, they could probably squeeze out a $200 Conquest, but if you want a Skystriker, there's no way it'd be less then $500.
>>11797690I don't think I buy it
>>11797935I'd prefer the Thunder Machine being around the same price as the VAMP and Stinger but with no figure, it'll sell itself without one, and releasing Thrasher as a single figure means everyone without the budget or the room for the vehicles can still complete their Dreadnoks lineup.Make the Haslab project that Iron Grenadiers tank that Destro's Despoiler docks with.
>>11798347There are lots of good ideas to make the line more affordable thus more obtainable, but will Hasbro go with it? They can't even do a simple repaint of a previously-released figure without retooling the hair, face, accessories, or something. Just look at how they kept the HISS Arctic reissue high by changing a ton of stuff on it. Then they sold it for $200, which was pretty much the same price as the first one minus the figures and accessories. They're not even trying to keep costs down to bring prices down.

>>11798447NTA but you read my mind. I was just thinking about this last night. Hasbro would rather die in fire than bring the prices down. Regardless of the fact that they would sell more copies at a lower price point. They seem to have subscribed to the corporatist philosophy that prices can never ever go back down ever again. It’s infuriating.
>>11798666>Hasbro would rather die in fire than bring the prices down. Regardless of the fact that they would sell more copies at a lower price point. They seem to have subscribed to the corporatist philosophy that prices can never ever go back down ever again.Ive noticed this too. As a 3.75 collector i truly think that was also the main impetus for hasbro abandoning the 3.75 scale seemingly out of no where ten years back. They are a very obtuse and arrogant to the point that theyd rather go bankrupt then admit were ever wrong. The only time ive ever see hasbro admit they fucked up and go back on something was the eco-friendly windowless packaging fiasco.
>>11798681>>11798666It's frustrating. They could sell more and make more by making everything more financially obtainable. It's like there's a stubborn pride getting in the way of economic reasoning.
>>11798689>It's like there's a stubborn pride getting in the way of economic reasoningI hate it too and i agree with you completely, but unfortunately thats not just a behavior that hasbro alone does. Plenty of companies are arrogant and proud to a self destructive degree. Look at warner bros constantly canceling movies and yet shareholders still wouldnt kick out the CEO at the time. Or how disney would never fire kathleen kennedy and she just left on her own volition.
>>11798691I'm hoping that when several people quit, some of the stubborn pride went with them and the next wave of developers won't make the same mistakes.
>>11798705Can someone give a QRD on why several high profile people at hasbro quit within the same week? I saw the news of that on other sites but wasnt using 4chan during that time. So i dont know the more juicier speculation behind that.
Is Valaverse discussion allowed or are my kind not welcome here?
>>11798712Hasbro is moving their headquarters from one state to another. When corpos do that they tend to give severance pay to those who don't want to move. Probably everyone took the money and bailed since they knew they'd have another job lined up and wouldn't have to move their homes.
>>11798741Go for it. It's part of military figure discussion. >>11798749Hopefully a lot of the arrogant stubbornness left with them, and we'll get a line that's more responsive to the fans.
>>11797526>find reaction+ snake eyes at walmart and get him>try to put snake eyes on the included star shaped stand and it kade stress marks on the bottom of his feetFuck super7
>>11798749Why is hasbro moving its HQ again? That whole move felt ridiculous to me as theyve always been in rhode island.
>>11799022To attract university students, use more AI to lower focus, and focus more on the digital realm.
>>11799022^to lower costs
>>11799065Bullshit>>11799066How does it lower costs moving to boston?
>>11797526If we are getting the Water Moccassin then I doubt we’d get a Moray as a HasLab this year.
