Slagacon 2011 Exclusive – Vector Zeta Back Up For Registration Pre-Order

It's a shame that this is a con exclusive for a con I would never be able to attend.

This would be a decent addition to the collection.

Looks very nice, but it really could use more detail and paint apps.

I still plan on going to Slagacon this year, HOWEVER, I WILL NOT be buying Vector Zeta.

I DID originally want it, based on the concept art. At that point, I THOUGHT we were getting a COMPLETE Powermaster Prime w/ Apex Armor for $175. HAD that stayed the deal I thought it was, I'd have no problem forking over the money.

NOW, I've heard that the blacked out bits in the concept art (the Apex Armor bits) are NOT INCLUDED. The Apex Armor is Slagacon 2012's exclusive.

With that piece of knowledge, I'm no longer interested. $175 is WAY TO MUCH for just the first half of the trailer. If that price is any indication, you will surely be paying $125 OR MORE next year for the second half.

Some may be happy with an ADD ON KIT for Classics Optimus Prime costing $300 OR MORE, but I will be passing.

I'll be using the money saved to either buy Maketoy Giant or the first half of TFClub Hercules.

Ya know, I like the Ultra Magnus add on set. But I'm really liking this Powermaster add on look. I love Powermaster Prime!

Thought I better comment. That pic of the 'prototype' was shown a year or so ago in a wip/kitbashing thread. Think the original creator stopped the process looking for a distributer. So that pic of the addon set, probably wont be the actual finished product. Since then he as added more parts/detail to it compared to the new sketch.

Ah I see, thanks for the info. I'll update the frontpage to let folks know it's an "older" prototype pic, but still gives a decent idea of what this thing will look like.

Wish the Slagacon was in Atlanta. I'd surely go. I like this armor. Just one more reason why my next prime will be a Classics Henkei.

OH...MY..FREKIN'........SLAG!

The concept drawing looks great, the prototype not so much. It looks like a little kid trying on his daddy's clothes and I understand that it's only half the armor. They price is terrible especially if you have to buy it in two equally expensive parts to get the whole effect.

I am thinking that G1Uppers Firemaster upgrade will blow this one out of the water. At least I hope.

So relieved that I don't like this. I couldn't afford it, and my Powered Commander is already using its space.
