I just got mine. I had the original - would’ve be 4 or 5 when it came out. I’m mid 40s now and holy shit I feel like a kid again. Just joy. I’m chasing my cat around with it.
Awesome! I'm so jealous. I sure wish I had room to collect all of the Classified vehicles. I hate that your canopy broke, but I'm sure Hasbro will take care of you.
My label was created 10/29, got an email from Pulse that it was shipping 11/07, FedEx said it would be delivered 11/08 and it was actually delivered 11/09 - but at my PO Box, so I didn't pick it up until today. I appreciate that you opened yours and gave a great review, but I have literally nowhere to put the monster so it is staying in it's shipping box for the time being. Happy Vet's Day.
I have the same issue. I wanted it, so I bought two, but now I have them, I don't know what to do with them. I really don't have room for them. So the attic they go.
Good stuff, brother. Not all of us have the time to watch a 1 hour plus breakdown, so this was a perfectly concise overview. Hope Hasbro sort that defective part for you.
Happy Veterans Day Bee My Dragon 🐉Fly 🪰 finally got delivered Saturday 🙌🏽 IDK 🤷🏽♂️ where is going to go since its a massive Helicopter 🚁 once I find a forever home 🏡 for it I'll be putting it together. Great Review 👍🏽 👌🏽
Waited to open mine until I saw the review from Bobby Bee! Mine was delivered with a delicious gouge that penitrated the first 2 boxes but JUST stopped short of the actual box. I'm so perplexed to who approved the Glenda box art she looks woof to me. Other than that I love the final product of this HasLab! Thanks again for another quality review!
I was surprised that I got mine from a on Saturday and the reseller added my info to his order (extra dragonfly) and showed up Saturday afternoon to me here in NYC. I’m honestly surprised at how fast I got this one. No rhyme or reason to shipping though Thanks for the review, enjoyed the overview. I’m happy with mine and the figures
Great review. Mine arrived today. I did get a notification from FedEx app and Pulse last week that it shipped and scheduled to arrive today. The tracking didn’t update until late last night. So far just messing with the figures (need to clear some space before I open the dragonfly trays).
Happy Veterans Day everyone and for those who have served and are currently serving, thank you for your service. Defiantly contact Hasbro for a replacement for that canopy. You can even send them this video as evidence. I have my Dragonfly but I was not going to open it until I get some time off from work but now I think I need to open it more sooner than later to check on my canopy. What a time to be a Joe fa!. These things are like detailed models you can play with. I missed out on the HISS Tank, but I was not going to miss out on this Drangonfly and I did not miss out on the Rattler. I also have the Skystriker. If Haslab makes an updated Defiant Space Shuttle Complex with new O-ring figures I will find a way to get money for that. Keep up the great work!
I got the Dragonfly since I didn't have the original 3.75" scale one as a kid. I got mine on 11/8 but got the email it had already shipped 11/10. I got email a couple weeks ago to make sure my shipping address was correct. I didn't have issues with mine. Those tabs to separate the harness are tight. I put Wild Bill in back since it is wider and Glenda in the front since its narrower. The shipping box says Jabberjaw on it. An obscure reference to cartoon that was Scooby-Doo underwater.
I can’t wait to get mine. Still waiting. But I can now see that the Dragonfly needs to be bigger, both longer, wider and taller to actually be true 1/12 scale. It’s really underscaled for those six inch Classified figures. Hell, it’s nearly in scale with the 1/18 scale, 3.75” figure you had there by its fuselage. I’d say the Dragonfly is actually 1/16 or 1/15 scale when it’s all said and done.
Just like how they had the 788 fire team. I think they're going to have a team for the dragonfly so they can introduce random green shirts kind of like that four pack for the 25th anniversary line that came with firefly
The side openings on the canopy are a bit tricky. I've seen a few people get stress marks on their from opening them, now this. You have to sort of press down gently on the hinge area as you're opening the canopy to get those sides to open fully without damaging them, seems like it might have been a design flaw rather than a manufacturing defect.
damn, bro. im sorry it broke on camera. hopefully hasbro will make it whole again. thanks for the review. it reminds me to take extra caution on the window cockpit.
MAN I am hating I couldn't get it or the HISS tank..hopefully the next HasLab is something awesome I always loved Wild Bill (and funny I was stationed at 2 separate bases where Air Cav was at but I was Infantry and not attached to them... Happy Veterans Day to ALL of you guys
Same thing... No shipping notice until last night. All of the sudden... It's in my city scheduled for tomorrow. Back on topic... Does the overall height seem shorter than normal? If I remember correctly, standing next to a Cobra... The top of the canopy should be much higher than head level.
I'd love to customize the cockpit of one of these to use with 3 3/4" figs as that would more closely replicate the real scale of a pilot to a chopper like this.
Would have been cool if they threw in a stretcher and an attachment for it so it can hook up the lift ….im sure there is a dragonfly support team coming(like the 788 fire team) so maybe a doc repaint
I wish that hasbro would offer replacement parts for items that we all know will break eventually....I'm concerned with the canopy for my HISS Tank.. I received my Dragonfly a day after my birthday...which was a cool BD gift.... only complaint other than the weak canopy were the face sculpt for Crazy leg, Glenda and Rip cord...I found them to be extremely plain looking and well very doll like
Sorry about your canopy, that sucks :(. The only complaint I have with mine is the squeaky sound the rotor makes when you spin the blades. I got my DF this past Saturday. I really wanted mine to look classic, but you can't put the DF logo where it's positioned on the original. I am debating whether to use the shark teeth, but I fear that would look too Tiger Force. I half-wonder if that is why they were provided. If you wanted a TF Chopper, you would have to outfit your DF that way. I don't know if Hasbro will use Haslab molds to create a re-paint retail offering.
Question, once you click snapped all the pieces together for the DragonFly, is it at all possible to remove those pieces so that you can put it back into box for storage? or for moving reason?
@@beesbattlegrounds Yeah, my canopy has a big stress mark and it is getting ready to snap off too. I think it is such a terrible idea to build articulation on clear plastic.
Absolutely love the Dragonfly but I would've appreciated a single hand-hold rail on or near the wings for when you have Joes pegged into the front of the skids. It'd go a long way to stabilizing them when they're up there. I found to canopy to be a bit fiddly myself as well so I've avoided lifting the side access for the pilot and gunner seats. I hope Hasbro handles the replacement for you swiftly; there's few things as disappointing in collecting as breaking a bit almost right out of the box.
Agreed sorry I forgotten to comment but happy belated V-day 🎉🎉 I didn't back because I always felt like vehicles are not dream projects especially now that they are making then but it's cool and yeah hopefully we see some type of rerelease in the future 🎉🎉🎉 nice review 🙌
Not sure why but I thought Bill would be selling for a somewhat reasonable price. But no. Thing looks just like I remember the original. Until you turned it sideways. Nose looks very different from the side
That’s utterly diabolical opening up such an expensive item that takes over a YEAR to get there. And the piece of shit breaks instantly. I’m not a hater i actually feel like a sucker I also backed the rattler I’m so sick of this shit collecting should be fun. I also got giant man with it’s own QC issues it’s just a nightmare
It looks pretty cool, and it's certainly pretty big, but this sort of reinforces (for me) why these vehicles aren't viable at this scale. It just looks too small for what it's supposed to be. Granted, I haven't stood beside enough of the "real thing" to know for sure. I'm going with my gut here.
I'd rather have dio/play sets than vehicles for their size

The missiles are way too big but yea its just a toy . It does suck these expensive ' dream projects have qc issues right out of the box as far as the canopy breaking .
Dragonfly is awesome, no doubt. But the seat belts are impossible and his sunglasses fell off his face and into the copter somewhere. Day 1, they’re gone!
Sorry I couldn’t help but laugh when the clear plastic on the cockpit broke immediately. It’s just almost unforgivable the shit we deal with as a Hasbro customer. What other company on earth would make you wait for a product for over a year and ships it already broken.
Why do people act like they are the only one who bought this, wives let grown men get a expensive toy 😂. Other people bought this too and we’ve seen them , no need to take pictures of them .
This sits on my husband’s desk quite well!
i knew a Helicopter pilot would appreciate this!
I just got mine. I had the original - would’ve be 4 or 5 when it came out. I’m mid 40s now and holy shit I feel like a kid again. Just joy. I’m chasing my cat around with it.
@@Darthburkie my dog is not a fan 😂
Happy Veterans Day to Bobby and all of those who have served.
The medium sized blast effects work absolutely great on the Stinger's missiles
Awesome! I'm so jealous. I sure wish I had room to collect all of the Classified vehicles. I hate that your canopy broke, but I'm sure Hasbro will take care of you.
They do take up a lot of space
That thing is BEAUTIFUL!!!
Great review. I was lucky I was at home today to sign for my Dragonfly today. The package was heavier than I was expecting.
My label was created 10/29, got an email from Pulse that it was shipping 11/07, FedEx said it would be delivered 11/08 and it was actually delivered 11/09 - but at my PO Box, so I didn't pick it up until today.

Got mine on Saturday. I think it's frickin awesome!
Sorry about your canopy. Hopefully Hasbro will send you a new one quickly. Just got mine today. Can't wait to check it out!!
Happy Veterans Day Bee

That’s an awesome vehicle! Absolutely love it. I just started collecting classified so I missed out on this. But I don’t have the space for it anyway!

Got mine on Saturday 11/9. Love it more than the HISS!
Got mine on Saturday !!! Its Awesome !!!

Toy of the year 🔥
I'll be happy if mine makes it here before Christmas.
Nice looking helicopter. Cheers.
Great review! Thank you for telling how many batteries it takes. I'm outside St. Louis and still no email

Haslab should've made the Skystriker for the 6 inch figures.
Dude mine just came! It's sweet! Best toy ever lol

That’s cool the blast effects are keyed I don’t think they even mentioned that in the Hasbro unboxing
Just opened my copy, did not realize just how big the copter is! That from window is questionable on mine also, just leaving it closed which sucks.

I could get behind that
Great review Bobby🇺🇸👍🏼
I'm anxiously awaiting a status update from FedEx, but I am seriously concerned about that canopy. I hope they get you taken care of!
I got mine over the weekend. I almost broke the canopy as well. Very scary.
Fits great on top the Detolf
Mine still hasn't shipped from Pulse. Still has a December release when I check on Pulse.
Hopefully it'll drop soon!
Bug their idiot "customer service".
Damn…rough stuff about the canopy 🥲
Maybe Hasbro can send replacement parts? 🤷♂️
Hope Hasbro hooks u up brother. No reason they shouldn't. Sweet review!!

You have to sort of press down gently on the hinge area as you're opening the canopy to get those sides to open fully without damaging them, seems like it might have been a design flaw rather than a manufacturing defect.
Got the same issue with mine canopy ..Didn't fully break but no good
damn, bro. im sorry it broke on camera. hopefully hasbro will make it whole again. thanks for the review. it reminds me to take extra caution on the window cockpit.
MAN I am hating I couldn't get it or the HISS tank..hopefully the next HasLab is something awesome I always loved Wild Bill (and funny I was stationed at 2 separate bases where Air Cav was at but I was Infantry and not attached to them... Happy Veterans Day to ALL of you guys
Happy Veterans Day to you as well!
Mine just showed up a day after a notification with no details. Hey I’m not complaining about getting it sooner than expected
Same thing... No shipping notice until last night. All of the sudden... It's in my city scheduled for tomorrow.
Back on topic... Does the overall height seem shorter than normal? If I remember correctly, standing next to a Cobra... The top of the canopy should be much higher than head level.
I don't think it is "true" 1/12 scale
I got my shipping notice the night before receiving it
I'd love to customize the cockpit of one of these to use with 3 3/4" figs as that would more closely replicate the real scale of a pilot to a chopper like this.
Would have been cool if they threw in a stretcher and an attachment for it so it can hook up the lift ….im sure there is a dragonfly support team coming(like the 788 fire team) so maybe a doc repaint
Have two of these now, they look pretty cool, but what am I going to do with them?
It looks like a true 1/18th scale Dragonfly.
Those sidewinders are gigantic in comparison.
I wish that hasbro would offer replacement parts for items that we all know will break eventually....I'm concerned with the canopy for my HISS Tank.. I received my Dragonfly a day after my birthday...which was a cool BD gift.... only complaint other than the weak canopy were the face sculpt for Crazy leg, Glenda and Rip cord...I found them to be extremely plain looking and well very doll like
Happy Birthday! And my Hiss canopy gave me all kinds of goofy issues
Mine was sitting at my door when I got home this afternoon.
It is an awesome looking helicopter 🚁🚁🚁🚁🍕🥤
Sorry about your canopy, that sucks :(. The only complaint I have with mine is the squeaky sound the rotor makes when you spin the blades.
I got my DF this past Saturday. I really wanted mine to look classic, but you can't put the DF logo where it's positioned on the original.

Question, once you click snapped all the pieces together for the DragonFly, is it at all possible to remove those pieces so that you can put it back into box for storage? or for moving reason?
Good question
I keep looking at the tail piece and I honestly don't have an answer and after the canopy, im too scared to mess with it haha
@@beesbattlegrounds Yeah, my canopy has a big stress mark and it is getting ready to snap off too. I think it is such a terrible idea to build articulation on clear plastic.
I'm pretty sure during the hasbro unboxing vid, they said it could.
Dang, I'm still waiting for mine to ship...
Absolutely love the Dragonfly but I would've appreciated a single hand-hold rail on or near the wings for when you have Joes pegged into the front of the skids. It'd go a long way to stabilizing them when they're up there.

A hand rail would have been a nice touch
People are also receiving these without any notifications at all.
I passed on all the vehicles so far except The Raman Van. I'll have room for the Van and the Mythic legions Dragon if i get it
That dragon is nuts!
How would you rank 1, 2, and 3 between the Dragonfly, HISS Tank, and Vanguard?
Should have mine tomorrow. Why did they make those tail fin glides in yellow? Totally throws off the color scheme.
Mine came today (11/13) metro detroit MI.
Got mine without hasbro or fedex notice
👏🏽👏🏽
The landing gear looks a bit undersized.
wow mine hasn't even shipped. 0.o
Should be soon!
Agreed sorry I forgotten to comment but happy belated V-day 🎉🎉
I didn't back because I always felt like vehicles are not dream projects especially now that they are making then but it's cool and yeah hopefully we see some type of rerelease in the future 🎉🎉🎉 nice review 🙌
Agreed. For a haslab, I want a "center piece" for my collection. With all these vehicles coming out, nothing really "jumps" out
A first-rate review, but Hasbro needs to right this wrong ASAP!
I'm hoping so!
You know you grew up in America in the 80s. Our toys were all current military aircraft and vehicles operated by our hero’s. 🇺🇸🦅🇺🇸
wow. sorry about that. no way an item that cost that much should be breaking right out of the box
Not sure why but I thought Bill would be selling for a somewhat reasonable price. But no. Thing looks just like I remember the original. Until you turned it sideways. Nose looks very different from the side
That’s utterly diabolical opening up such an expensive item that takes over a YEAR to get there. And the piece of shit breaks instantly.

Dragonfly is awesome, no doubt. But the seat belts are impossible and his sunglasses fell off his face and into the copter somewhere. Day 1, they’re gone!
Yeah both the sunglasses and seatblts are frustrating
Sorry I couldn’t help but laugh when the clear plastic on the cockpit broke immediately. It’s just almost unforgivable the shit we deal with as a Hasbro customer. What other company on earth would make you wait for a product for over a year and ships it already broken.
I noticed there is a tiny piece of rough plastic on the hinge where it was separated from the sprue. Almost broke the same canopy window.
Sees crack on hinge and goes on to forcefully open it.🤣😂
Why do people act like they are the only one who bought this, wives let grown men get a expensive toy 😂. Other people bought this too and we’ve seen them , no need to take pictures of them .
What?
It's a review, dumbass. That's kind of what we do here.
Regret not backing this one when I had the chance. Thought about it, but just ended up not working out. Same with the Rattler.
