It'd still be way outside the realm of possibility for me even then, but it'd probably be helpful for someone.

You know what? If this was an option, I'd probably talk myself into doing this. They should really give more time for the build up of funds.

I 1000% agree with this. Or at the very least they should've given longer than a month notice.

It is so gorgeous! It looks fantastic! I love it all and it looks great!
But, oh gosh, the want might finally have hit the price wall.
6 weeks to put together $600. That would normally be doable for me, but within 4 days of each other, I would be paying for Unicron, the Power Gauntlet, and MP ghost Prime, and I cannot afford to spend $900 in that short of span.
I really hate that, because I want to buy this, I want to back it!
But i really think they needed a payment plan, or a pay 10% or 20% once it has the numbers, and charge the rest when he is ready to ship. They gave us 9 months for MP-44, but only 6 weeks for this, and they are right on top of one another.
TL;DR: I love this and want it and plan to try to secure the funds by then, but this needed better timing, more time, and a payment plan. That would probably have helped fund it in a week.

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.
Yeah, is what it is. Been pretty civil in here with no one passing judgment to one another for backing it or not, which is nice to seeThat ish dude wrote:That, and I hate corporate greed. Ya'll loyalists can make all the excuses you want, but Hasbro is a mega corporation. 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
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?william-james88 wrote:carytheone wrote:But IIRC it only needed 5000 backers.

I think it was 4000, so half. Plus, unless I am mistaken, I blieve that fan base is much larger than ours.
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.

The ones at $175 each for 4 limbs and even more for the Torso? 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

2. The price is beyond reasonable and AGAIN too short of a time is allotted for folks to save up.
3. The eyes need to light up. Green this time. Not red LED's behind green lenses, lol.
4. There should be a tiny Galvatron included, maybe even a beat-up Megatron.
5. Still no payment plan.
6. This stupid funding "system" still exists. All it does is sh** on those of us that can't come up with the extortion money quickly.

User897, the funding system exists because Hasbro got sick of taking losses on mega expensive fan-pander items, so now they want to guarantee that they'll actually see a return on the investment.
Flashwave, re: Model trains. I was talking about seeing that kind of price for secondhand '80s or older model trains, or those that don't have the expensive electronics.

Yeah apart from the wrong placement of the cannon and the bad mask gimmick on Galvatron that limits movement, is undersized, and overall doesn't look good and then the dinobots being too small and with all of them having compromised alt modes. For the record I own all these figures and I like them in their own ways but to say that there is nothing wrong with them is a complete exaggeration.

Or were you perhaps talking about the idiotic "halfassed Earth mode" and "aborted spider tank" gimmicks from Universe Galvatron?
So Galvatron's abysmal "mask" gimmick and poorly placed cannon blocking his elbow articulation with no side-mounting option are A-OK? And the POTP Dinobots being too small and heavily hampered for the sake of the combiner gimmick (poor Slag, they made him into a frog...) with a combined mode only marginally better than Menasor is fine?
