HALO WARTHOG QUESTION

[Joe F.]

What would you all feel is a fair price for an Warthog vehicle in-scale with our 5-inch Halo figures?



Keep in mind, you may have to put your money where your mouth is.

Joe

[kuwabara_kuwabara]

$25.00

[DragoN9ClouD]

i'd pay up to 30. if it comes with figures, more i suppose

[Bulldozer36]

Honestly, I'd pay $30-40. And I'd probably get 2.

[kuwabara_kuwabara]

Ya know, after thinking about it, I'd pay up to $40, too.

[The_Arbiter]

I would pay 30-40 easily, I'm just happy to see that theres a warthog coming

[Bulldozer36]

Hey Joe, I remember the listing for the Mongoose saying it came with a Spartan in the package, would the Warthog as well or not because of its larger size to keep it in check with the Mongoose in range range.

[Graham]

£35

[shawnspookcity]

without fig: 25-30
with fig: 30-35 (because it would likely be another MC)
with exclusive fig: 40-50

[Mr. Wiggity Man]

About 35 bucks

[Drama]

If it came with a figure i would pay 40-45 max i would love for it to be priced at 25 to 30 though.

[Bulldozer36]

You do realize Joe that we're now not only expecting an in-scale Warthog but we're expecting it soon and chopped full of epic win (I can't believe I just used L33t speak).

[tn5685]

25.00
35.00 w/ figure

[punkg42]

I would think $30-$35 would be good. Lots of decent sized Star Wars vehicles are out there at $22 or so, a little bigger for the 5" scale as opposed to the 3 3/4" scale... $35 sounds good. $30 sounds even better.

[Fdmatt]

I'd pay whatever it was priced, I'd pay whatever any 5" scale vehicle was, but yeah anywhere from $30 to $40 sounds about right. I just want to see it made. Can we have a Ghost next?

I agree with this, but it better be quality! I dont want plastic axles that'll end up breaking durring shipment.. and we don't need fancy packaging, go old school hasbro, heck even spawnmobile and just boz the damn thing up and let us be a kid again and put it together ourselves..

Screw the MISB collectors, lol.. they wanna collect a box.. let them.

If you gave us that Warthog, just scaled up, and cheap like it was wanting to break if I sneezed too hard.. I'd be a very pissed lil' boy!!!

...and I agree with this man's statements.

Let us assemble it, and LET THERE BE STICKERS!!!

[IxSL4Y4xI]

30-40 dollars.

[DragoN9ClouD]

You could sell them all day long for 40 dollars easy.

[Kabong30]

I'm gonna say $30. If a fig is $10 I think a vehicle should be around $30. But the quality had better be there. 12" MC was about $30, right?

[Bryan316]

$30-35, but you, and we, also have to look at what you're putting into it. If it's just wheels on an axle and a painted plastic body, you have essentially made one of those bootleg military trucks at Wal-Mart, and it should have a $20 ceiling. If you go all-out and give us working suspension, 4-wheel turning, and working lights, then $30. Toss in a Todd-headed Marine, then $35.

You have to look at what other companies are doing that are somewhat similar in size to the Warthog and its potential price point. Mass-producer Hasbro has Star Wars vehicles, even a few with new R&D and tooling, with moving parts and no electronics for $20-25. Diamond Select Toys has their new Star Trek Enterprise-D with LEDs, magnets, and a sound/voice chip that can be pre-ordered for as low as $35. While the Trek example isn't compatible with figures, I'm using it to show that something laced with electronics, generally deemed expensive to add in, can still hit a point that customers are okay with paying.

Keep in mind boys and girls, this isn't anything than a question. We aren't saying we are, or aren't going to do the Warthog, we are just considering it. With price being a very large part of that consideration.

Again- your feedback is always appreciated.

Also be aware that Hasbro produces a HUGE quantity of product- which allows them to have that price point on those vehicles. Not to mention those are 3 3/4" scale vehicles, not 5".

[MUNDO]

I'd go $40 on it. I'd hope for rubber tires and maybe some suspension too. While we're at it, I'd pay about $20 for a Brute Chopper and $20 for a Ghost if it came with a Grunt.

I'd pay $25-$35 CDN.

[predrhone]

$40 with rubber tires and turning wheels. $45 with an included figure to drive, perhaps an exclusive paint Spartan or marine. Also... think of the variations! Damaged, pristine, muddy, rusted... bloody?

[Spawnomite]

I think a starting price of $40 sounds good.

[canuck_spartan]

It's a tough question. I'm in Canada, so I typically expect to pay anywhere from 25 to 50% more for toys than my fellow collectors in the states. I agree with the others... the more awesome it is the more I'm willing to spend. BUT, I'm a broke azz student, which means it would have to be pretty reasonable and pretty awesome for me to want to buy it. I would expect it to be mainly plastic, but not cheap. As long as it had some turning rubber wheels/tires, some different turret options, and some decent paint apps I would expect to pay about $35 Canadian (mass market retail, LCS would probably be about $45, but I wouldn't buy it there :P)

Oh, and I would rather it DIDN'T come with a figure, as those typically up the cost and I have enough guys as it is.

[penutbuttrbandt]

i could easily do 35-40 and buy mulitples...

now that they know are price point...what would the projected price point be from TMP...just a little heads up

$40 sounds fair to me, and PLEASE include the Tan E.O.D. Spartan with it.

That will be all.
