I love HA and like Deluxe

They are at different price points so you really can't compare

But HA toy seems more fun as per what you have described.

Although Kmart / Big W have sold them for $25 and $30 respectively.

HA Barricade that I bought was $95 and the Leadfoot and 2 road busters were $180 from USA. Decided to get them in case OZ missed out.

Deluxe are cool too. But some are awful.
