The Hellcharger Haslab is a joke. $350 for something that another company could put out for$100 at retail. Remove the light up function and ask yourself how much should a 1/11.5 scaled plastic car with flame effects and a single Marvel Legends figure cost? Yeah, they're including the add ons to their price but without knowing what those are, how would anyone predict the value of this? That early bird figure offering is stupid, the same exact character but without what makes the character look cool and it's animation styled for some reason, very few Marvel Legends figures are styled that way. You also can't display the two figures side by side like the early bird offer on the Hiss Tank because they're the same character.
I was never going to buy this unless it was priced around $75 because I just don't care for this version of Ghost Rider much, but if those add on figures are characters that I do care about like Mephisto (teased) or Danny Ketch It'll just piss me off that those more desirable characters are being used to prop up this overpriced cash grab. Hasbro will likely wait on offering those characters on their own for years just to let the customers know that missing out on any haslab will have some kind of penalty, otherwise why offer those characters in the haslab as an incentive if they make them eventually?
If the rumors of McFarlane producing a 1:10 scale light up '89 Batmobile for $80 at retail are true, then that'll just put the nail in Hasbro's haslab coffin.
