Really wish Hasbro would get their heads out of their @sses and produce some Decepticon characters worthy of the Leader class line.

That's the reality of the toy market.

By contrast, let me know how many Ultra Magnuses you find. (Ultra Magni?)

Where? Only time I've ever seen him for sale was in Forbidden Planet in Cambridge. Toys R Us in Cambridge never stocked either version of Megatron. Been wanting the G1 figure for ages but the eBay/Amazon prices are silly. I've seen Ultra Magnus enough but I don't care for that at all (stupid mimimus whatevers)

For you guys in the UK, I feel for you. It seems that you guys are lucky to get anything.
I was talking about IDW Megatron, but you're right: the IDW Megs I see hanging around are singles and pairs at the most, while Armada Megatrons form stacks.kurthy wrote:Randomus wrote:YoungPrime wrote:Meh, these are both a pass....

Correction, Armada Megatron is still on shelves, IDW Megatron is not. It was a really bad idea to release a retool of the same figure in the same wave, just different colors and different head. I've only seen Megs, Armada Megs, Thundercracker, and Skywarp in the wild, never Magnus or Screamer.

That's the reality of the toy market. Heroes sell better.

Can you send me the link to that podcast?Autobot N wrote:YoungPrime wrote:Meh, these are both a pass....

Where is Sixshot and Overlord or and IDW based Scorponok that isn't a Botcon ripoff? Yeah, yeah...I'm aware there might be plans for a Titan class figure but there's still a lot people who would buy Leader class versions of Ft Maxx, Scorponok and Overlord in an instant!
I understand the PM Prime retool (I just don't like it) but oversized crappy designs like Blaster and Soundwave are a waste for this line IMO.
Sixshot was rumored by the Transmissions Podcast.

Hmm...I've always attributed Leader class Megatron's shelf-warming to just being an undesirable figure (Armada anyway). H3ll I passed on both versions because they simply don't fit with the rest of the CHUG line that make up my collection. As a result United Megatron is still my stand in.

The literal leaders of the Decepticons and Autobots are being cited as bad choices for the Leader class. There's some irony there.
I mean I understand your reasoning. From a scale perspective, if Magnus and Jetfire are leaders, these guys would be better as Voyagers or smaller. But Hasbro doesn't care as much about scale, they care about who's going to sell well, and if you've got an expensive toy, you need to know it will sell. Strong gimmicks are one way, name value is another. Optimus Prime and Megatron have strong name value.

Yeah well them "not caring" is what spawned over 80 3rd party companies that make versions of TF figures and add on's they think won't sell. Not 1 or 2, 80+! So if that's Hasbro's logic at this point then they're stupid!
And it's not like I'm saying they should open up the floodgates on nothing but obscure $25 and $50 characters, there's nothing obscure about Sixshot or Scorponok or even Overlord. H3ll, what's hard about making a CHUG/Generations Dinobot that isn't Grimlock?
My theory is that if it's a quality figure it will sell!

Yeah, doesn't make much sense to me; I thought it was about the Titanmasters, but now, I think it may be about the triple changing voyagers - which also doesn't make much sense

I think it means the Leader Class are also being considered triple changes by Hasbro, Robot mode, Vehicle (or boom box) mode, base mode.

Its even worse than that, the plastic isnt even really grey. It has some of that ugly brown colour mixed in there too. Grey could be a really cool and decent colour to use for plastic, but in this case it just ends up being very bland and not full.
