...and it’s $165. That is INSANE. For a model that you can only take in one theme. I certainly won’t be buying it at that price.

yeah...that's just stupidity.
I could get a Games Workshop Knight Titan for less than that. Its a bigger model, better plastic, and has optional load out with extra bits.
Me thinks no one will be buying the hauler. lol

Me thinks no one will be buying the hauler. lol Somebody will. There are a number of people in this game who seem to spend money pretty freely. Definitely isn't going to be helping their sales however. I think the price answers the question as to why it's a Black Anchor Heavy Industries model. Seems like we should be comparing this to Forge World prices. Personally I think I'll take a pass on this. I've got a ton of other things to do, and other models to work on. Never bought anything from Forge World either.

I would rather buy a glacier king that is cheaper and fits into more lists.
It is so expensive, I honestly wonder if the price was improperly keyed into the system.

I'll still probably buy it before I buy a skinner

Its PP being super greedy. I had a hunch they would do something akin to this when they came up with "Pirate themed forge world" Ill be honest, the model render in no way looks like its worth more than 100 or so. I wonder if you ask to not receive the can holder if the price will drop a few bucks....

Agree with macdaddy, retail on a Warwagon is $90, this is nearly twice the price.

I suppose we should have seen it coming. They were able to get people to buy Northkin raiders for $90. They aren’t going to turn around and charge the same price for a battle engine in the same theme.
I don’t own the raiders either. 😕

Hard pass on this. At $90-100, I was prepared to buy 2. $165 is "Firetruck you" pricing. It's pretty maddening that the Troll tax has gotten so expensive, as further demonstrated by the Sea King and the Northkin Raiders.
The saving grace on those two was that it was possible to get them with a retailer discount, or something like ebay. I regularly see both on "sale" for ~30% off or more. With this being direct to consumer, there aren't going to be ANY discounts on the hooch hauler to make this an easier pill to swallow.
I wouldn't be surprised to see this model start appearing on the table, but from "distributors" in China or Russia.

Going to put one of these on a base with a slot cut in the top, and a sign saying: "If you don't like this proxy, please contribute $1 to the fund"

According to the PP online store, the Hooch Hauler is $165. Sea King = $145 Glacier King = $135 Mountain King = $125
Im sorry PP but this is complete bollocks. No way a battle engine should ever cost more than a gargantuan.

Man, 55 dollars more than the first Black Anchor Heavy Industries item... I hope the next (Cryx) one isn't this pricey
