I kind of like it too, but I could make my own out of styrene way cheaper.

I mean, between this and the Unicron eyeball from Dr, Wu, I think we've hit the rock bottom of what 3rd party makers can offer.
I mean, let's take stock of soem props we've got.
- Beast Wars Golden Disks
- The Allspark (both movie and animated)
- Vector Sigma
- Varius weapons ranging from simple single-piece guns, to light up weapons, to ones that can split apart into one huge ass sword.
- A coronation set for Starscream (classics and MP)
and we have the other side of the spectrum...
- a cage
- Unicron's eyeball
- a plastic box that vaguely simulates his becoming invisible (Gear of War set #1 for those keeping score)
Compared to what we've seen before this definatelty falls into the lame category.

Leave it to Dead Metal to have the word 'Pronz' in his signature.

Well, the GoW box does show Mirage doing his invisibility thing and it's really not "free" since I really doubt it was free to make; whatever cost went into it's production went towards the price of the whole.
It's just that nobody cared about it or talked about it. And even TFC seemed to recognize it as the weakest part of the set since there wasn't any promotion of it. But it was in the set, so it counts.

Yea free was a stupid choice of words, but it doesn't change that it was never advertised and came as a surprise since everybody bought the set for the Missile launchers, the Inferno gun thing and the cassette.
And even if it did count, that was part of a larger set with stuff for multiple figures, while this would come on it's own.

We'll have to agree to disagree.
As I see it, it's a product made to support a figure, like all the other props. And it fails miserably, and is probably even worse than this cage. The GoW set is decent enough, but that aspect of it falls flat on it's face.

I actually think this is kinda neat...until you look at the price tag, then it becomes a fukkin' joke. To me, that's the problem with the amount of 3rd Party product, the costs are just too ridiculous. I understand the costs have got to be higher, but at the same time, I don't think these guys need to get rich doing it. Do it for the love of the hobby, cover your costs, and maybe even enough to buy a few more figs for your collection. Of course once the retailers get them and automatically double the price, that doesn't help matters any either...
