Is there any Joe/Cobra vehicle you'd pay $600+ for?

[thenammagazine]

Vehicles are exactly why the Joes were the 3 3/4" size they were and are. Same with Star Wars. You get really big, really fast even going up to 6" figures, let alone doubling that to 12" ones. I don't think there are really any Joe vehicles in the $600 size people would want. Smaller ones like Zartan's swamp speeder, trouble bubbles, and Serpentor's air chariot are about it I think. And those would be in the $100-$300 range I'd think. Hopefully less, but you've seen the prices lately

So why not get Hasbro to make them then?

 

[Khev]

A Dreadnoks Thunder Machine would be seriously badass.

 

[Darth Cruel]

Yes there are. But it would depend on how well they were done as to whether I would put out 600.00+ for them.

$600?
I wouldn't pay $600 for that incredible '89 Batmobile or $500 for the awesome Tumbler let alone for a stupid Hiss tank.

[screamingmetal]

That's an impressive list and must've taken you a long time to put together Starfighter.

If Sideshow ever makes the Jump pack I sure hope they don't include the stupid launch platform. I need several of those and it would be ideal if they could get them under $30 for just the pack and harness.

 

[DPrime]

Nah.

Vintage, yes. But due to space concerns, I doubt I'd buy any 1/6th vehicle, even a smallish one.

Yes, quite the impressive list, but realistically how many of those 600$ vehicles can you own and still have room for furniture and a family?

 

[spazzy]

move out of california and you will have plenty of space that is what I did and never looked back

HISS Tank > Tumbler

hisstank would so rock hiss driver included and battle shield cobra commander on top

You can't even afford $50 headsculpts. How would you pay for a $900 HISS Tank w/driver?

Many thanks.

 

[Jester]

I could conceivably justify a $600+ price-tag for something like a radio-controlled Skystriker with working ejection seats, but not much else.

 

[Chainsaw]

For a little perspective, a 1/6th Skystriker would be roughly 5' 6" long, have a wingspan of 5' 4".

The USS Flagg would be 182 feet long and 40 feet tall, or the size of Wal-Mart and have an estimated shipping weight of a large house if it were truely 1/6 the size of a real Aircraft Carrier.

The Flagg would likely only be 24 feet long if produced by Hasbro, or 3 times the size of the original 1/18th Flagg. Seems that most of our vintage vehicles are a little smaller scale than the figures, as the skystriker would actually be 3 1/2 feet long verses the actual product that's 22" long if based on an F14 Tomcat (and 10' 4" in 1/6). Now you know.
