Here's a thought. A $250 Army Builder Haslab. Put the Fund goal at 5k. Every 1-2k after that... add another army builder figure. This the only way to afford several of the Mindless ones for the price of one case (or any of the after market Army builders that they sold for $15 originally).
Except for, oh you know, the person who posted the pics, cause they're the ones who took them. Now, whether or not, you want to believe them, that's entirely up to you, but still...If Corridor Crew has taught me anything it's to be suspicious of shadows that don't match the shade of other shadows. I've a feeling that shadow was digitally painted in.
Unfortunately there's literally no way anybody here at Fwoosh will ever know for sure.
Yeah, I guess we'll never know.
Damn this secretive internet and its secrets!
So apparently the price of this actually leaked yesterday?

looks like it might really be $200?
No LED's or electronic parts. Seems reasonable enough. I was going to pass, I still have my Toybiz original, but at that price, I'm in.
I came in here last night thinking that the leaked price would have been shared already. At 200, I'll back twice.
One thing that can make this HasLab sink or swim are the attitudes of Dwight, Dan and Ryan, and how they react to any negativity that may come their way. They didn't do themselves any favors last year during the EOV disaster. One strike against this HasLab already is that comic Avengers aren't really Ryan or Dan's thing - no MCU, X or Spidey involvement, so let's see how genuine they both are when it comes to promotion and consumer interaction.
Also, if the price really is $199.99, I predict the HasLab for 2024 will be Atlas to tie into the Thunderbolts film.
$200 Haslab with a reasonable sized Giant-Man and 3-4 other figures would be perfect.
If this is $200 and there are part-swapping options where one can portray several different character iterations, I'd be all in on multiple purchases.
EDIT: If the plan is to have part-swapping, I hope they reveal everything up front to show why people should be buying multiples. It'd be dumb to hide swappable parts behind locks.

Dan, Dwight, and Ryan's attitudes were infinitely more positive than the select few jerks that flooded our thread repeatedly, day after day, ad nauseum last summer.
Wow, that $200 price seems shockingly reasonable for a Haslab (without actually knowing what's coming).
I'm gonna guess it's an 18-inch Giant-Man (it has to be bigger than the BAF) with two, maybe three figure tiers, which, like I said, is pretty reasonable.
Whatever it is, I hope the box keeps up the Avengers 60 design. I really like how that's come together.
That pricepoint is awesome. Perfect sweetspot. I just hope it's legit. I wonder if it'll include any unlockable tiers, though?
Either way, as niteowl86 mentioned above, no LED/electronics is probably what keeps this price a little lower, and I've gotta say, while a very nice touch with the Sentinel and Galactus, I could definitely live without light up effects included with my figures, especially if it drops the price point so drastically. Besides, I might flip the lights on my other Haslabs, like, two, three times a year, maybe?
If that number is indeed true, I'm sure he's shorter than the previous Haslabs, too, which is certainly ideal and shows that the team truly does listen.
If it's really only $200, I can't imagine that it will include much of anything else. Maybe a 6" (or smaller) Wasp - but I can't imagine there would be "tiers". Now, I'm also worried that it might actually end up being shorter than the Toy Biz BAF -- which means I'm definitely out. I mean the BAF sells for less than $200 on the aftermarket and it's damn near perfect --- and many of us already have had it in our collection for over a decade.
Also, I still think it's funny that everyone wants Giant-Man to be shorter than Galactus and the Sentinel. According to my handy Marvel encyclopedia, Galactus is 28'9" tall and the Sentinels are 20' tall (although Master Mold was 30', Tri Sentinel was 60'). Giant-Man is listed as being able to grow to up to 100' tall. Now, I'm fully aware that different artists have drawn all 3 at varying heights - but going by the official Marvel encylopedia (or at least the version I have at my desk), Giant-Man could be twice as tall as Galactus and a regular Sentinel standing on top of each other. LOL! Of course, by no means am I suggesting a 10' tall action figure because that would be ridiculous - but I don't see why 2' would be too tall. FYI, that same encyclopedia says Surtur and Ymir are both 1000' tall each!!! Godzilla is widely accepted as being 400'.

none of this matters when there's size changers involved. People want what they're generally depicted as. Galactus can fit characters in the palm of his hand.... Giant man can more often than not be smaller than a sentinel or go toe-to toe with one. People seem to want a giant man that's more classically scaled at closer to his avengers teamate's heights.

They were very positive about it. I spoke with Dwight about the EOV in person at NYCC last year, and he was genuinely very excited and positive about it.
Very exciting if this is only $199. Should hopefully open it up to a lot more folks. I'm hoping for red/blue Giant Man, with maybe first appearance Wasp and Jarvis. I would love Atlas and Stature if this was more of a box set of giant characters.
Oh yeah... $200 price point suggests that it will be a little smaller and a little less involved than previous releases which is PERFECT. I am cautiously excited by this news - I just hope Hasbro doesn't smother that with something lame. At $200 I can feel good about backing even if the stretch goals are an alternate zombie head and a "lab coat" Hank Pym which is just the lab coat Bruce Banner with the Hank Pym head from the WCA 5-pack.
