It's big, it's clunky, it takes up a ton of space. It's the same reason Hasbro hasn't made a Boba Fett jetpack. Would it sell? HOLY SHIT would that thing sell. Why haven't they made it then? It costs $400, takes up an insane amount of retail shelf space and it would SIT THERE. Why? Because it's a giant ass TOY. It's why Hasbro stopped making giant ass Transformers for a LONG LONG time (they're doing them again, but spacing them YEARS apart so they aren't fighting for the same LIMITED shelf space).
Okay, I'm ranting and yelling at clouds now.

This thing is amazing and a STEAL and I've been trying to convince people who have been poo-pooing this thing from the get go. is it perfect? No. Does the wand interact with it? No. Why? BECAUSE THEY DIDN'T EVER THINK THEY WOULD MAKE A PACK. Why build in tech to work with something that would probably NEVER come to fruition? That's why this pack was a Haslab product, NOT a retail item.zeta otaku wrote: ↑December 15th, 2021, 8:17 am The stench of entitlement in this thread is overwhelming. It's a $400 toy, christ.It's truly insane. Especially if you've been in this fandom for decades like some of us. Even a mere 10 years ago...2011...this kind of pack would have blown us all away, especially at this price point. In fact if you've been a fan for a long time...it still blows us away at this price point. The entitlement is off the charts.
this is why I've retreated from nearly every "fandom". Don't like what you're getting? You have a couple more days to request a refund and spend that money on a much more expensive replica made by fans that'll do EVERYTHING you want it to do.
