Have any of you had payment issues before Hasbro sends a Haslab (which you have already paid for)?  Any advice?  This just doesn't give me any confidence in how Hasbro does Haslabs.

No payment issues on HasLab for me.  Seems weird since this was already paid for a while ago.  I'd say give them a call and give them a chance to check into it.  Could just be the website being weird.

Okay, so this the first Haslab I've backed, and I have a few questions.

My situation is a bit hectic as I'm in the midst of a move.  I got the verify address email the other day and to ensure I got the Rattler, I changed delivery to the new address.  Now today I got an email from Hasbro stating "Oops! Something went wrong with your order." and it stated that my payment method failed. Okay.  I thought that when it was funded that payment was immediately processed, so there shouldn't be any concerns about payment of any kind (I'm a premium member as well when I ordered, so I wouldn't think it was that, though I've got my membership has expired emails a week or so ago, though on my account it says it's through the end of the month).  I haven't changed credit cards since I bought the Rattler either.  Said email also said this needs to be resolved within 5 days of receipt of email, which actually means I only have 3 days since they aren't open on the weekend).  I'll obviously call on Monday... it just adds to the hectic life of moving houses across town, but it's just the timing of it all.

Makes me wonder if they’re starting with some tariff pricing cushion since the current pause is just for 90 days, and might lower it later?

Yeah, If this was going to be a $100-110 item like the recent X-Wings and E-Wing but then you add in 30% for tariffs, you get $130-143.

Sure makes it seem like the $140 is tariff related.

The way I look at vehicle prices and whether it's fair or justified is to break it down into how many figures could I get for that price? And since this set comes with a figure, the TIE is worth 6 TVC figures.

That's equal to the $30 price of the POTF2 version. So why am I shaking my head and saying no thanks this time?

Must be because $20 action figures have quickly become an item I can rarely justify as well.
