Buying something purely to turn around and resell for higher is scalping in my book.

I haven't had much luck with the combo of having the money for >1 of a drop AND the drop being one that people want later on. Always one or the other lol I'd say star saber is riskier than Unicron or the sentinel.

you could argue that by having more produced, it can potentially reduce the overall price on the secondary market. Victory Saber might be a less guaranteed get compared to Sentinel or Unicron, but it's also a fraction of the price, and looking at the numbers, there's a good chance it won't hit the higher production numbers as those, making it rarer.

Victory Saber also doesn’t hit me in my G1 American transformers nostalgia gut either. Like there’s a little part of me that wants unicron because I was told I had the touch. Without 0consulting a wiki I only know broad outlines about victory saber. Unicron hit a sweet spot of being important across all iterations of Transformers, being a toy that hasn’t had but like one iteration in the past, and being effing big.

It sure would be nice if the sole western depiction of Star Saber wasn't a psychopath who wanted to do a holocaust on everyone who disagreed with his deep fringe religious values.

If it hits it's stretch goals I would be more inclined, though right now it's not looking too promising.

Megatron transforms, sets aside his astro-shotgun, then kneels down to neatly fold and bind his giant cloak while not in use.

That incarnation of Megatron does loving rule though Probably my favorite movie design, followed by Evasion Optimus E: also crosshairs and his cool trench coat filled with guns but all of his toys kind of blow

Rhyno posted:GOBOTS Hasbro should make an entire line of just WfC-style Gobot updates (technically Bugbite in Earthrise used to be a Gobot). A main CHUG line of just Gobots with new legally-owned-by-Hasbro designs. I mean, we can probably already get Leader-1 and Cy-kill by retooling Earthrise Ramjet and SS86 Wreck-Gar.

So, the Ark's wing/calf fillers are pretty rad, I have one more question about this guy. Is there anyone who makes microfigures at the same scale as the Optimus Prime included with this guy/the Centurion weapon pack and Unicron? There's a bunch of spaces available on the Ark's bridge, it would be neat to have a full bridge crew.

What do you mean by a proper Nemesis, I thought that was supposed to be Trypticon's spaceship mode

Trypticon's spaceship mode is just a more folded-up city mode, it doesn't look anything like the G1 Nemesis, or even the Nemesis from the Fall of Cybertron games where that ship literally was Trypticon.

That feels like it should be a weirder gray/green/pink or way more wireframey. I guess it's as good as they could get it though?

I agree that he doesn't really work as the Nemesis, so I am very excited by the possibility of getting an ark-style toy of it if I read the original post correctly

Also, when I said proper, I meant 'an actual model of [A in the picture below], rather than the guns Galvatron comes with which look a lot like the Revenge, but aren't [B in the picture below]'. I was very tired and a lot of the dot connecting thoughts were in my head when I posted that.

So where the gently caress do we go with Titan class next? We already have the big boys done, plus the Ark, so does hasbro move on to non-G1 stuff? Titan class Armada Tidal Wave or Energon Metroplex maybe?

I'd wager they'll start remaking things. A new Metroplex wouldn't shock me.
