Backer #4 chiming in. I'm looking forward to it and hope it happens. I also wish it were more accessible for global collectors.
The face looks off somehow in these early models and I hope they fix it up. Needs the goatee and the robot teeth make it too busy. They're also not movie accurate! He has no discernible teeth in the movie. Even in season 3 he has four canines and that's it. That's a small change that would be a big deal to me and I hope the brand team is reading around for some constructive feedback. I think the rest looks great.
Multicolored LEDs for the planet maw would be awesome. Also, I expect closed, open, and extra open states for said maw so I can send other toys to a dark oblivion.

They could sell this at $300 and still make a massive profit. You talk about warehouse costs, but remember, these things are made in Asia, warehouse costs are super cheap. Still, its a free market. Their right to charge what they want, our right to tell 'em to go to hell, or fork it over

I think it was 4000, so half. Plus, unless I am mistaken, I blieve that fan base is much larger than ours.
It is by a significant margin, but also... that was the sail barge. Meh. It'd be like if this TF project was for the Nemesis or Axalon playset or something. Unicron is a huge deal for Transformers. The Star Wars equivalent would be, well do I really need to point that out?

Plus accessories? And before you say "But I got 6 figures for that!" Does your 3P combiner get uncombined? Or are you really only playing with the one, really big figure you spent $900 for? Its the same thing
Yeah I'm about to be up to 17 dang 3P combiners. I can stop whenever I want. After Zeta's Raiden, of course. (Dear Hasbro I bought all your combiners too. Twice counting Unite Warriors
)
Or were you perhaps talking about the idiotic "halfassed Earth mode" and "aborted spider tank" gimmicks from
