Re: Haslab Projects General Discussion

My guess is that the figures will go for closer to $70 - especially once more classic 80's Nightforce characters are released or revealed. Fans of the sub-line that didn't back the Dragonfly will want those for their complete set

Re: Haslab Projects General Discussion

I'm totally flipping the three unlocks myself.

I just want the Dragonfly and Wild Bill.

Re: Haslab Projects General Discussion

I wonder what the secondary market for these Classified Haslabs will be, once we start getting them. I hear anecdotes about SkyStrikers sitting around un-sold, and tons of people bought multiple hoping to flip them and recoup their costs. I read forum posts about people buying 10+ HISS tanks hoping for crazy profits. And they will undoubtedly sit un-sold for months.

I have no doubt that The Dragonfly will fully un-lock all tiers, but it's been crawling along, relative to the HISS's campaign. Is that because people that would otherwise buy on the secondary market wised-up and just backed the campaign? Are re-sellers realizing that they might not be able to sell the extra 7 they'd otherwise order and are only getting what they actually want?

Will be interesting to see how this affects whatever campaign comes next. By then, we'll have the HISS in hand (and closets)

The Skystriker is all over the place. One recently sold for less than the Haslab price. Others have sold for only a bit more, and others still sold for almost double. Then you have the currently listed ones, and some haven't sold but their price is lower than others that have sold.



I am a bit surprised since it was one of the lower selling Haslabs. I thought for sure it would maintain a strong secondary market price. Maybe it will end up like the 30th/ME Skystriker. That thing was clearanced out at Walmart here for $20, and for a good while it was easy to get cheap. Now it is selling for over $200CDN (sealed).


So maybe give it a couple more years and, if we are lucky, it will see a crazy jump in price like the 30th version.


I think a lot of the recent Haslabs are great, but since they were made in such large quantities (relatively) they probably won't go for the crazy prices of the Sail Barge and Unicron. However they still have a positive return if you no longer want it.

Re: Haslab Projects General Discussion

I didn't go in on the Hiss, so I'm kinda hoping for the Skystriker style market saturation.

I may never get one, and would be ok with that. But I'm hoping reasonable chances to get one on after market will exist.

Re: Haslab Projects General Discussion

You'll probably be able to get one for a good price, if you wait a few months. Everyone will hold onto those "profit prices" for as long as they can, but I think they'll cool off by Summer. There were just so many orders... they can't ALL be army-builders

Dragonfly:




16,217 / 10,000 (+392) 162.17% of funding goal with 3d 18h left.


Well Glenda, as expected, unlocked in the last 24 hours so now on to Crazylegs. Barring some crazy, unexpected, drop off he'll unlock no later than the last day. The whole project should break 20,000 backers as well.

WOW! Well it looks like we are finally hitting that final days bump. 600 backers in 24hrs?? That is good to see and bodes well for Crazylegs to unlock by the final bell.

Re: Haslab Projects General Discussion

Here's hoping he gets unlocked. Those middle lacklustre backing days are making his unlocking ...... interesting.
