When did you check that? It's gone. I am shocked how quickly the PotP stuff hit HST's ebay store already.

I wonder why it wasn't coming up in searches for me. Oh well, ordered one as a gift for a buddy!

Edit: It's still not showing up in normal search for me! Weird! And I just went through the HST front page and clicked through, it's not there either!

No Decepticon in history, and I say this with great surety, has been treated worse or more unfairly.

Yeah I couldn't find it on their page when I searched. I had to click the ToyShop's link on the Trypticon page and then it showed up in that search.

Lol my wife barely tolerates my comic book/Transformers habit as it is. She'd kill me if I got ANOTHER Trypticon. I've been squirreling money away for when the Predacons come out and if Scorponok or Omega Supreme come out this year.

I’m glad I have no attachment to Trypticon, these low prices would get very tempting. I also have no room.

Of course, when Omega Supreme gets announced, I’m going to be there Day 1.

Trypticon is loving fantastic and I heartily recommend it to anyone especially at that price. The sticker sheets are really foreboding though.

DoctorWhat posted:

Mine's currently perched on a stack of boxes looming over things because I haven't figured out where to put him yet since he doesn't fit in anything.

He's really cleverly packaged though, I was expecting a Fort Max-sized box but its quite a bit smaller, they just detached his legs and you slot'em on, it's really smart of them. Probably cuts down a ton on storage and packaging costs.

My hands are kind of broken and I can't do fine work like that at all without it being poo poo. Otherwise there are so many model kits I would have taken a chance on by now

This just further emphasizes my need to go over to my parents and hunt down my OG Transformers. I used to have Trypticon and last time I searched the attic I found a track for Omega Supreme.

there's a reason the old trypticon hasn't gone up in value ever since this new one came out.

It's because the old trypticon has been rendered entirely obsolete by this magnificent new monstrosity. you should buy one before he's gone~

The Platinum Trypticon had sold out and was commanding $200+ and then the TR dropped and you could get the Plat for $70.

I'm bad at stickers unless I use a pair of tweezers and line everything up just so.

Maybe that will help if you haven't tried it?

Oh I'm being quite literal when I say my hands are messed up.

Some kind of hypotonia muscle disorder I've had since I was a kid, my hands are incapable of doing some tasks others can do easily. Like, I can't tie knots with shoe laces, I cannot do hand writing because it starts out looking like poo poo and then gets worse and my hands just start aching.

Anything that requires fine control is basically out the window for me. It's one reason why I prefer larger Transformers, honestly- the smaller something is, the harder a time I have with fussing with it.

Oh I fully know that for most 3P things I could not transform them without great difficulty.

Like, I've mentioned before I would adore to get a Knight Morpher Cyclops entirely for aesthetic reasons. I'm not a steam punk guy, but I love the way he looks as a giant robot made from an ironside

I also know that I would NEVER transform him into a boat because I'd break him so many different ways.
