    Yeah um I didn’t say they would fail nor did I ever say Saber was gonna fail. Don’t say shit that I didn’t say ok? You have a bad tendency to do that. I only said they are doing a bit too much with Haslab projects at the moment that’s all. Please read my posts correctly before assuming something that I didn’t say. You are crying for no reason at all! :crazy:  You very much know I mocked the nay sayers in the star saber thread along with everyone else.:redface2:

    Maybe they got tired of my pestering them about saving some stock to put up later for those who work late.

    Why does it say “Wrecker” on Lift Ticket’s tow trick mode?

    Is it just a design choice?

    Lift-Ticket is still the dumbest name.

    Didn’t say it was gonna suffer, and unlike what some people are suggesting nor do I want them to fail. All I’m saying is that Hasbro is going all in on Haslab more then usual. I hope the people who want all three items for December have a lot of money to spend.

    While the answers above explain what this homage is, just in case you don't know, tow trucks are also referred to as "wreckers" because they're used to tow wrecked cars. The guy who built the very first tow truck called them that.

    Huh? One deluxe or ML or Joe Classified is $23. Buy 3 at a time, or 1 Deluxe ML/Joe/Voyage TF and 1 regular. That puts you over $50 easily. I did this all the time when things were available for more than 5 minutes. It's not wouldn't be hard at all to put $50+ orders available if figures were actually available.

    It's a good name for a G I Joe pilot.

    Lift Ticket is still available on Pulse. Pre-ordered him and Bulkhead to put me over the $50 minimum for the free shipping. :)

    Kinda surprised that out of the two obvious Hoist redecoes, they first did the one that's an obscure Diaclone homage and a 2015 BotCon exclusive but without a pilot, as opposed to one that was a talking on-screen character in a previous TF show.

    Agreed. I love Trailbreaker and have a soft spot for Hoist, but those weren't good molds, and I don't think this is a good color scheme for that body even if it didn't have issues.

    I think they put a limited quantity up for Premium pre-orders so we don't snag all the toys before the commoners.

    I agree, and doing 3 at one time seems like a lot. I am not shocked to see two at a time, but to do three without trying two at once seems a big leap. I get Ghostbusters - gotta time it with the movie release - but they could have held off on the Rancor or Sky Striker. I am assuming they have done some market research and found that the three fandoms, while surely overlapping, are not collecting the same things and won't be cannibalizing each other. Haslab really is still a new endeavor for the company in that they have only done 8 past projects, 7 of which have been successful, and it seems to be pretty smooth sailing after Unicron. I am sure there will be those who would like all three, and honestly if this dropped next June I might have gone in on the proton pack, but I am guessing that the people who want a 6" scaled giant monster. a 3 3/4" scaled fighter jet, and a cosplay movie prop is a small overlap in the Venn diagram. Well, we'll know within 45 days if they bit off more than they can chew. FWIW, I hope all are successful and it spurs them on to continue doing more niche projects - big and small - through HasLab.
