Patches should just have been included. As other folks have stated, ground crew or a mechanics would be cool. They also could have done ground support equipment, fuel browser, something easy and basic, but adds to the diorama
Apart from the patches, there's nothing wrong with the tiers. Gunner is great, and I'm most excited of all for Baroness. Hopefully they'll feel bad enough about the patches to throw in a bonus figure at the end. Don't really care who. Any added figure just makes the package better value.
I knew it was going to come with a baroness figure she is so heavily associated with the rattler in the cartoon and comics and is her vehicle of choice
I am good if it was just the rattler and wild weasel for $300 with no unlocks and would be 100% happy. So an extra $25 and we get 2 other figures, cause yes it will hit the full 18,000.
@@TooManyTopics Pilot Baroness is far more recognizable and relevant to a Rattler product. Raven is a deeper cut fantasy. Wait for the Night Raven in 2029.
I feel like they set a precedent with the first two coming with 4 figures and that’s what people expect now and it’s annoying it’s $25 more but they took one figure away (gotta maximum them profits) …..im really hoping they throw in another figure or something as a secret unlock
Agree with you about the patches. I don't care for them but love the Rattler. I haven't backed it yet. I have other big expenses in the next several months so we'll see.
I always wait until after the release year to buy the Haslabs. Wait until the people who bought several that have no place to store them that want their money back. This year I got the HISS with all figures except Cobra Commander for almost $300 shipped.
Whoever thought someone wanted patches should demoted, but likely the mistake will be overlooked since this thing will have no problem reaching funding anyway. Looks great
The thing that really bothers me about the Rattler is I never wanted to see Wild Weasel's face. I had a specific image in my mind. Like reading a book then seeing a movie goofs with it. Wasn't even close.
@@stevenaarhus8850 there is no "supposed to"... that's what an imagination is. As collectors, comic or cartoon fans ..we get to use our imaginations. It's fun of some characters are never "unmasked". My mental image is...and should be .. different than yours. Go try trolling someone else because it clearly didn't work on me. Collectors should support and enjoy talking to each other and any debates should be friendly, not an attempt at a verbal attack such as your jerk move.

@@davegoodwin1848 I'll bet your a General with the Chairborne Rangers keyboard warrior. Better court martial me then. I asked a simple question & you avoided it like a politician. Maybe you'll make Field Marshall someday.
Baroness is the the best thing about this. At $275, I might have been in instantly, if I go in for this now, It's gotta make it to her. Them patches are trash. Especially with the price bumped up this high. Breaking $300 is bad. Next time its gonna be $350? +250 per year? These can not cost more than $75 to build, plus $25 per figure retail. Theyre making a killing.
The first stretch goal should have been the pilot the second should have been classified versions of the Cobra ground team that come with the sky Striker
Size wise it’s the biggest vehicle yet …well I guess we will see next year tho because the hiss tank and the dragonfly are both smaller then they originally said they were going to be
Oh it was terrible I went to back two Rattlers and Hasbro pulse Has a Glitch where American Express was canceled and that's the only card I use I called customer service and they still haven't fixed it yet and snake face sdcc exclusive goes on tomorrow at 1:00 for premium members and I'm not going to be able to get him😅😅😅 because of their glitch screw up😢
You’ll be able to pick it up for $100 or more... Better off buying the HasLab and selling off the stuff you don’t want. I learned my lesson with the Hiss. And just look to see how much Wild Bill will be going for separately 😱
@@danenorem5571 I am torn about the haslabs, I've wanted all of them but can't commit to the cost and space. If that Baroness stays at 100 I'll have to pass, I'd probably pay 50
@@TooManyTopics Just looks like another Joe and not a Cobra pilot. Helmet needs a better sculpt. Its like they saw the Ramen Toy pilots and wanted to make their own version of that.

Id rather buy another Dragonfly and sell the characters. The Rattler let me down big time. Having said that I really wanted to support the HASLAB, its just junk.
Fanboy syndrome is at fault. Settling expectations so high with excitement that sets themself up for disappointment. That disappointment prevents them from truly appreciating this opportunity
325 with 3 figures while the Dragonfly was 275 with 4 and arguable same size product is unacceptable
When considering that the Rattler only holds two people, I think having a mechanic instead of a Cobra gunner would have been more useful.
Like it a lot but the patches are an all time worst
I'm in. The Rattler is amazing and the figures are great too.
Just go in expecting all the tiers to be backed. This is much bigger than the Hiss Tank and is arguably more iconic than the dragonfly.

Ground technician woulda been nice
And we don't need no stinking patches
I'm very disappointed that all tiers aren't dollar store patches.
I’m currently backing it now but if all tiers don’t get unlocked I’m out
You should be grateful to get the dollar store patches.
Good point, i with ya!
They think this is a video game preorder. lol they just missing the steel case.
its 136445 backers on 15-Aug-2024
Once Baroness unlocks the gunner will have no place in the set.

They need to offer RAVEN the female cobra pilot as a tier to make up for the patches.
Yeah! I sorta wish it was just this instead of a Baronness

Any chance Hasbro/GI Joe teams adds on any extra incentives?
Everybody knows they will display the Rattler and frame the patches in wall above it..🐉

That’s a great deal! I always back them just so I don’t have to deal with it later in case they really are an issue to find
But you could have bought one new for $300 and had the CC....?
@@danenorem5571 and had my money held hostage for a year plus. No thanks. I might try for a Dragonfly sometime next year.
Your logic makes no sense just back one …..they even have a payment plan I believe
@@danenorem5571 Depends on where you live.
I'm in the southern hemisphere, and I had to pay an arm and a leg for shipping.
I was in a squadron, and i love that it comes with squadron patches.
Should have been a ground service equipment kinda like what came with the Skystriker
That would've been nice!
I’m hoping they do a deluxe flight crew like they did for H.I.S.S. With the fire team
They might end up doing it and just havent announced it yet.

Good review 😊

I don't mind seeing his face, but the one they gave him is too handsome and cheerful looking. He reminds me of Steve Rogers.
@@drewlovelyhell4892 Lol, right. He's supposed to be kinda nuts. This figure looks like the guy next to me in a gym.

Have to push the patches for 14,000 more for the Gunner

I got it just for the patches.
I like everything about it except the patches.

And I'm not the only one that uses American Express many other Hasbro pulse members as well😅
I mean slice of Cobra cheese would have worked
As of now 11,708
So O-ring Skystriker and a Classified Rattler makes perfect sense
The patches are all right I suppose but pretty lame for a first option
Oh it was terrible I went to back two Rattlers and Hasbro pulse Has a Glitch where American Express was canceled and that's the only card I use I called customer service and they still haven't fixed it yet and snake face sdcc exclusive goes on tomorrow at 1:00 for premium members and I'm not going to be able to get him😅😅😅 because of their glitch screw up😢
Won't be paying $325 for this but may try to pick up a second hand baroness in 2-3 years if she's unlocked
You’ll be able to pick it up for $100 or more...
Better off buying the HasLab and selling off the stuff you don’t want.

If you wanted a Rattler, then you are getting a cool vehicle. The figures arent that great. Wild Weasel is disappointing.
What don't you like about him?

Lol $325 of moulded plastic that holds 2 figures. Gaaaaaaay
Back it at 17999....
This is not lame love the rattler but the tiers are lame like a kick in the nuts and they know it they just want our money
The stretch goals are terrible.
