Well I am Australian. It's kinda what we're known for.

Black Hat wrote:Like, if they were charging that much but giving us RTS/HFTD level engineering then yeah, I could stomach it.
I don't mind paying for quality, hence why I buy 3P stuff.

Voyager Optimus has ROTF level of engineering and a decent amount of paint (just in the wrong places).
I dont think 3p is a fair comparison when talking about what you get for the price. 3p's higher price isnt dependent on parts count or enginnering (especially when their workforce is paid less than hasbro's), its due to not using economies of scale. There are garbage 3p figures out there that still cost a bunch, I really wouldnt compare the two here.

And his car mode is also made up. There is no license.

I know I sound like I am making myself important, but now you got me curious. Did my review not sour you over Barricade?

The Beserker reviews turned me off because of how fiddly the figure was, and he most likely won't even be a real character anyway. Barricade is one of my favorite movie cons and I have thought the figure looks good. I have heard many more good than bad reviews, so I am not really turned off by the bad review

Yes. Now go to your room and don't play with yourself.
