    I am interested in both the Vanguard and the Vamp. I am really hoping the Vamp does not blow past the one hondo price range, especially given the features and estimated price of the Vanguard. I think the best thing about the Vamp is Hasbro is showing it is willing to put out things bigger than motorcycles and flight pods without resorting to HasLab. Like, maybe one day I will actually get a Classified Thunder Machine

      All truth as usual from you man and I gotta say I agree I think it will be over or at the 100 price minimum but we ll see hopefully not but there greed will most likely get the best of them. Thanks for the continued support shad 🙏🏽🔥

    I had a bad experience with the original haul of Valaverse figures from the kickstarter and sold them off and now i just stick with Classified BUT I think its amazing that Valaverse is doing great and has some great ambassadors (AnalogToys and Ninja to name a few) helping to get the word out.
    Competition is great for any market and with both companies pushing out great product even if you only collect one you should be happy the other side is doing great as well. Think of the Monday Night Wars in wrestling back in the late 90s as it was some of the best wrestling content put out.

    The VAMP was my first G.I. Joe toy as a kid - a 1982 version new in box with straight-arm Clutch. So nostalgia for that vehicle for me is very high, but even then, the eventual price for this from Hasbro is something I don't trust at the moment. They GOUGE us for everything now, and they seem to revel in that. I'm backing into the hedge on this VAMP until I see a price.

    OMG you had to bring up price! I just remember having the Vamp as a kid when it first came out. I was never to big into Joe vehicles since I was more into Transformers which I wanted more, but I had the Vamp. I played with that so much till it broke and was tossed out. I would love to have one again with my current Joe figures. Most likely even if it is over priced, I'll still get it. I had fun with the one I had as a kid.

Serpentor was high priced because of the fancy box and being an exclusive. Time will tell and I do plan on getting at least 1. og 13 for the win

      To me, $115-120 is unreasonable, especially for the bare-bones MkI. (In shops like Target, you can get a really nice quality diecast car of that size for about $40.) I'd have to seriously consider my options if it was that much. I'd probably pass and wait for the Stinger. That's a must buy even if it's overpriced.

    Original 3 & 3/4 Vamp had no doors. Vamp in my opinion should come in at around $79-$89. The original retail price Hasbro put the Fortnite boat out at was $89 and the boat is much bigger. I know Vamp will be in higher demand than the Fortnite boat but if they keep it at around that price you'll have folks buying more than one.

    I abused my Vamp M1 as a kid LOL. It was a must have, I love it. But Hasbro 2020 has been great at loosing my trust.
    The Vangaurd is honestly twice the vehicle.
    Consider this. The Fortnite boat came out at $60. Its about 4" inches lthan my 1:10thscale (bigger than 1:12 scale up) Vamps I printed, and it's got a lot more plastic etc.
    I think $75 would be a successful price point for the Vamp M1, and consider this will be a retail release so they will be able to make a lot more.
    at >75 I would get it. I think $100+ would be a greedy Hasbro grab.
    It does look groovy, I would love to have it. It's held a place in my heart since 82. But we'll see how greedy Hasblow gets LOL.

Just a basic chassis, two seats and some accessories. It doesn't have much more mass than two Ram Cycles. If they don't get greedy with the price, they could sell fifty thousand of these.

If you were to take away the fancy packaging and just base it off the amount of plastic and doodads inside as compared to the flight pod which is priced $55 you'd probably see it's value sitting more around $65.

    So much to unpack here. While I'm not a fanboy for either manufacturer, in this case, Hasbro vs Valaverse, I have a bunch of figures from both manufacturers and love them both. I think my choice (if I even get it) would be the Vamp. For me, I would have to decide on one over the other for financial reasons.
    Aside from the financial portion, I have the Hiss tank coming, and another big concern I have is how the Vanguard would scale with the Hiss and I suspect it's going to be huge.
    Lastly, depending on the price of the Vamp, I would choose it over the Vanguard for nostalgic reasons. I had the Vamp as a kid and nostalgia is like 90% of why I collect this stuff.

Just a basic VAMP like in the 80's, but with doors. It will absolutely sell! If they cross $100, say in the $125 range, and it's gonna be a peg warming disaster.

    we give recognition to Bobby and Mcfarlane for their $180ish and $60 price tags for vehicles.. but, how come nobody mentions the new turtle van by playmates, for $40!!!.. and you can perfectly fit 6 joes in there no problem.

    Compared to the bikes they have put out, I'll be surprised if the vamp isn't closer to 60 or 80.
    It's great two have two options, and two different types of vehicle. But if that vamp is 120, that's just not worth it when the vanguard is an option if you are only getting one or building a group vehicles.

    The Vamp is the right move for Hasbro's first foray into mainline vehicles (Aside from motorbikes). It has served on both sides in the GI Joe conflict, its chassis has had multiple configurations and colour schemes for reissue and it's small enough that it won't be a space hog. That being said I hope that the price does not go above $120 and in an ideal world it will be $90 for a bare bones offering.
    If Hasbro goes the extra mile and adds in some bells and whistles like rubber tires, an accessible engine area with detailed engine, turning front wheels with working suspension and the like, then we can start looking at $120.
    Regardless, we can only look and speculate at the moment. Here's hoping they make a wise choice for themselves and all collectors alike.
    Thank you very much for your video Articulated Ninja 👍

    Hasbro probably won't do this but they could do this, but imagine them selling this for 99.99 and then retooling to a Stinger version with figure. for the same price. Then, it's "off to the races" driverless vehicle 2 pack, a Lifeline and Medi-Vamp with extra hands for GIJC figures so you could actually have the Joe's throwing up the Joe Fist, giving a thumbs up\down, saluting. Yeah I know, they'd have to know the difference between ambition and greed.. .... it's fun to imagine I guess

    • @raypaz2947
      @raypaz2947 Рік тому +1

      That’s exactly what they will do. We will get the Vamp in that desert color and the stinger. Someone here mentioned the four door version. I hope that comes out too. Plus they should have the smiling to swap out the gun turret for the missles.

    I think the vamp set will come in around the $80-$90 mark, and then each repaint release will increase in price (whether they blame inflation or exclusivity or something else).
    My reasoning is because that fortnite boat was MSRP'd around the $70-$75 mark and that's when hasbro had to pay a cut. This vamp is no licensing fee to someone else, and includes a figure.

    I don't listen to Small-Stax anymore. His negativity has become the entire charter of his channel. I like what I like and I am not required to hate anything I don't. Things I don't buy haven't done anything to hurt me and no one who buys what I don't hasn't hurt me either. That said, I buy both Vala and Hasbro. Heck, I JUST got Covert Ops Condor in today...and if Chuckles goes up for pre-order and he's not sold out...I will get him too. :D
    My two cents, is the Vamp will be $89-$99. Serpentor with the chariot was $79. A friend of mine has stated that price has a tendency to be dictated by the amount of plastic. That said, I am definitely getting this. It was my first vehicle back in the early 80s.

    My biggest pet peeve with VAMP is the fact there is no room for a figure to sit and operate the machinegun. One does not simply puts a machine gun in a vehicle without putting a place for him to sit down.
    I hope I can get a Vanguard in the future.

  • @kylefunk546

    I just see this as the Vamp being like a infiltration Jeep in the jungle (kinda like the capture vehicles in The Lost World) lol and the Vanguard like a city armored SUV ( like something off of F&F ) or something that brings the rain I’m definitely getting both 2 vanguards and 4 vamps. But I agree I do hope the Vamp and driver is less than 100$

  • @misterdarwin
    @misterdarwin Рік тому +2

    The one thing that the VAMP has over the Vanguard is that it is the VAMP. Oh, and it comes with Clutch. If I had to choose one, I'd take the VAMP and Clutch because if I was collecting Classified it would be to rebuild my 80s Joe collection. The VAMP scratches that itch, the Vanguard doesn't.
    I really don't understand why you emphasize so much the vehicle capacity of the Vanguard; holding more figures isn't inherently better. As you said, these are two very different vehicles with two different jobs. The VAMP is what it has always been. If I want a FANG copter, I don't care if a competing helicopter holds 7 figures, but if I am looking for a troop carrier that would be a factor.
    Both vehicles look great. If you have the space and money, there's no reason you can't or shouldn't buy both.
