    Odd. I can see Roadblock and can add him to my cart with no problem. Ships from Amazon.com at the price of $22.99 ("preorder" is a misnomer since it's just a straight up add to cart and buy option, but with the caveat of a shipping/delivery estimate of 1 to 2 months time).

    I have Amazon Prime, so that might be a factor if you're not a Prime subscriber?

    Edit: Looks like Roadblock sold out from Amazon LLC direct and it's just third party sellers at the moment.

    Thanks! Oh man…if this pulls through and the price is right, I’m going to get at least 3 of them…

    That's actually a damn good question there: what's the "right" price?
    I think it should go for $125-ish, but I think it will be more like $150-200. I'm basing this on the pricing of the Black Series Snowspeeder which is around that $100-125 price point and the way HasLab projects are structured.

    I do believe that poll was just for fun. My personal choice would've been the WHALE but at the scale even that would be huge. They just recently did a tournament for which Dreadnok people would like to see.
    Unlike a lot of other fandoms, Joe hasn't had much to keep them interested so now that Classified is doing well,the Joe fans finally have something to talk about and make speculations on where things could go from here. It's finally fun for them again.

    Minus that whole Cobra Island misstep in the beginning of course..

    Wow!?, I completely missed this. I'm guessing it was just for fun as I never saw anything from Pulse. The HISS Tank seems like the logical choice, other than the Vamp, the other vehicles would just be way too big.

    I think you're spot on with the price, $199.99 would be my guess. If they add stuff like lights, sounds, moving tracks, I would bet it would be closer to the $300 - $400 range.

    I know some people like all that stuff, but I would prefer they skip it and keep the price around $200. Although working tracks would be cool.

    The poll was just a Hisstank activity, not something from Pulse. Perhaps Hasbro worked with Hisstank behind the scenes to have them fish for information, but that would just be speculative. Considering the post asks you state your “dream” stretch goals this is just a fan poll for fun for fans to express what they would want.

    Having seen the figure in person a couple of times, I don't dislike it as much as I did initially. It's not really the Barronness to me, but I can see buying it as my Chameleon figure. Similar but different, you know?

    Yeah, she's a good figure for sure, she just needs some more appropriate wider Eastern European feet is all.

    The long neck is it for me to be honest. I do not like that.

    Nah dude, it wasn't an official poll of any kind. They do these for fun sometimes.

    Hell, right before this they did a Dredknoks poll if you paid attention to that. I'm still quite salty that Buzzer lost to Zarana

    Anyone know what's supposed to be/is rumored to be announced for release at Pulsecon? Curious to see where the line goes next.

    Well @Laser_Optimus posted a possible leak for what is essentially the line up for the next 10 months, but we have no clue if any of that will be revealed. I've heard some say another Retro wave too.

    I would also point out that we don't know the reliability of that leak either. Though given it includes Target exclusives we can surmise that it might be leaked from Target's systems... which seems about right given that last year around this time all of Kingdom leaked and this year we had almost all of Legacy: Evolution leak. But, again, since they didn't post the lists themselves and only talked about it on a podcast that was then covered by a couple of toy sites... a grain of salt and all that.
