- Weapon: Switch Blade Tail
This is one of the weirdest and craziest sets I've ever seen. It's all over the map so much it has frequent flier miles.
You have CHUG, with G1 (actual G1, which is impressive, I admit) and...Arms Micron? I...words fail me. I really don't get it. Fortunately, none of the figures are overtly ugly, so they do have that going for them. I mean, there were some years where it was just...wow, where's a lightswitch to kill these lights kinda ugly.
The one thing that angers me is Megatron. "The tooling is too expensive to bring Breakdown to the US at this time." (I'm paraphrasing, but that was the gist.) Now it's "Oh, wait. You want to pay us to get access to the Takara molds so you can sell it at an exorbitant amount and screw people out of their money even more, as well as rub it in people's faces that they couldn't get a Breakdown but we're now using this mold to fleece the fans? YOU BETCHA!"
See, it's the Seekers all over again, but the final laugh was had by the fans because the public and the average fan finally got them, not just the power buyers who were willing to fling themselves across the country and world via plane to get to them. Here, it's a mold that many wanted, but never could have access to and will never get, outside of a select few willing to spend even more this year because the prices have gone up and it just reeks of horrible mishandling of the mold and the fans.
No sir, I don't like it!
