I am planning on shelling out BIG bucks on Star Saber, until I see Ultimate BB in Wal Mart yesterday. He looked A LOT more appealing in person. So, which one should I get? Money does not matter at this point.

Secure a good Star Saber first, UBB will be easy to find for months and you will probably end up paying a bit less.

Well, SS will cost me about $400, and BB would cost me $80.

ss, the value can only go up.
ubb, on the other hand, has gotten kinda crap reviews. it shouldn't be hard to find in a few months on clearance, its the only thing on shelves here

$400 for Star Saber? Is it AFA graded or what? I got mine loose/complete for $85 last year.

by **Uniprimus** » Wed Aug 15, 2007 10:44 am

ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!?!? $85?! The only ones on EPay are for at least $300!! WTF?

by **megatroptimus** » Wed Aug 15, 2007 10:48 am

You can get one boxed for $250 or less, guaranteed. The whole Victory Saber boxed set, then yeah, maybe $300-400. Loose? $150 at the most for Star Saber I'd say. Same for Victory Leo.

I have a KO SS, complete deluxe w/everything. It cost me $30.

Nothing is broken, the stix are off a little, but hey, it was a h&ll of a lot cheaper than the orig.

I got it from Toyhell. You have to e-mail him to see if he has anymore in stock. But that's what I recommend.

is this even a serious question?

Star saber hands down if you can find him.

Surely if you can spend $400 plus shipping on Star Saber, it won't be long until you have the $90 to pay for Ultimate BB.

Star Saber for me all the way, no question. :-?

star saber FTW. you can get UBB on clearance someday.

besides, the way people are talking about it, UBB's kinda crappy, there's even a thread here talking 'bout how a guy regrets plunking down cash for the BB. talk about buyer's remorse.

heck, i don't think it even belongs to the transformers genre...more like a licensed movie product if you ask me.

but it ultimately (pun intended LOL) depends on what is your preference. if you're a G1 fan, then movie second, then it's a no-brainer. get SS.

That's only one guy and a few of the usual complainers. Visit all the different boards and you'll quickly see that Most people who got UBB like it. Amusingly, most of the bitching is coming from people who don't even own the toy (surprise, surprise).
