Re: HasLab Victory Saber ? Tier 2 Revealed: Autobot Stand

This is lame considering the tiers for the Sentinel and Galactus. Sorry, I want to be positive, but comparatively speaking to other HasLab offerings, it really is lame.

It's nice to know I'm not the only one buying this just for the Tier Specials.

I also backed this, but seeing how the V Lock cannon is at 14k, I'm not going to be impressed if it's not unlocked. Not sure why it's not included originally as it's pretty integral to the original toy. (money, yes, I know)

While I agree with you in general I would also caution against anyone getting their hopes up too high.


This is the cheapest Haslab to date, which means the margins for Hasbro are going to be smaller. That means they have less wiggle room to make unlockable targets.



If you look at the unlocked tiers for pretty much all the Haslabs they were not treading new ground nearly every time, and they were relatively cheap to produce. Most of the exclusive figures required little new tooling, so they were easy to bundle into the cost of making each project (Morg being the notable exception). Also they were generally items/characters that could show up at retail at a later date.


So far the unlocks have followed the first pattern. The V Lock cannon is probably one simple piece to tool. So cheap to make. The stand slightly moreso because of parts, but again probably not that expensive to make. Since it is highly unlikely there will be any "figures" as part of the tiers, that leaves another accessory as the most likely candidate. Maybe the Shield?


Anyway, it is probably better to keep expectations low and that way people won't be as disappointed.

Maybe only me, but I prefer Haslab price this higher to give us a perfect Victory Saber, instead of right now feeling like a commander class mass production toy.
