But I repeat, that's what his Star Saber mode is supposed to be for. His standard base form is just Saber. Star Saber is the power up, while Victory Saber is just an extra bonus.-Kanrabat- wrote:For me, is makes sense that Deathsaurus is big like Victory Saber.
Star Saber had a reason to power-up.

It's just like those Optimus combinations in RID'01 and the Unicron Trilogy. RID'01, Armada, Energon, and Cybertron Optimus all had base forms, super forms, and combined super forms just like Saber here. It was the middlemost ones, the super modes, that put each of them on par with their respective Megatrons, while Omega Prime, Jet Prime, Optimus Supreme, and both Savage Claw Mode and Sonic Wing Mode were extra bonus forms on top of the super modes.

Weird that this next TF HASLAB is up even before Star Saber ship, but eh, I'm backing ONE anyway.

So I'll save my mortal skretch for the figures that do appeal, and leave this one for his fans. I know many have been humming for something like this, so kudos to you!
I don't have a 'great' attachment to him, either. But, I do have a Star Saber so it kind of works. Also, since I put my extra up on ebay last night and sold it for double in about two hours, he's already paid for.

Funny you both mention that, as directly from the MCM London panel:ZeroWolf wrote:blackeyedprime wrote:Funny thing is if deathsaurus had been in legacy as planned I'd have picked him up.
I think had he been in Legacy, he'd be far less then the beast seen here. They would have taken far more short cuts with him.

...that being said I agree with blackeyedprime, I like Deathsaurus enough that I would certainly be interested in him as a retail Commander (especially since he'd likely also go on sale like every other Commander at some point) but not so much that I''m willing to drop $180 on him. Also, the fact that the fully funded version of him would come with more accessories than he can actually hold/use and store at once is a pet peeve for me.

Would it definitely have been at Commander size? As I'm wondering who got his place.

(Huge robot, two smaller figures, and a big sword as the base package.) I know the HISS Tank is basically the same thing as the Engine of Vengeance (big vehicle with lights, bonus attachments, a driver) but I feel like it's probably easier to accept funding a big tank for your sci-fi military collection than a whole 350$ faux Dodge Charger for your superhero squad.
I'm speaking directly out of my derriere here but I dunno, a 180$ price tag vs a 350$ one just makes it seem less surprising that the cheaper one is selling better.

Armada Prime got his place
Aw, I was hoping I'd cost more than that.william-james88 wrote:Also double the price sounds cheap I expect Sabr to be 1000 on the aftermarket when it comes out.

Can someone explain how this happens?
I just don't understand how someone missed out on it last year, when it was readily available for over a month, or didn't have the money then, and now a year later is willing to spend twice as mich on it.
I mean, I guess I've passed on smaller toys and then regretted it later, but this seems a bit extreme.
