And yet there are people that will happily pay those prices. Just take a look at eBay. I was looking up a Combiner Wars Optimus, white or red, and they are starting at $80 used. New figures are easily over $100. And with this being a production error that is inherently limited, there are those that will have to have it.LinaNui wrote:I find it funny that they are switched around, I wonder if there could be a package with two of the same figure in it as well? Just out of curiosity, I followed the link to collectiotoys, and they are trying to sell the mix up for $300!? and even the normal for $164!? And looking at there other listings, SS scavenger for $89?!, they seem to be out of there minds when it comes to pricing.

If it's swapped from what they're supposed to be, and they both have the screaming face... Seems to me more likely that someone bought two of the pack, swapped the heads between one of the Skywarps and one of the Thundercrackers to get a Skywarp with a neutral head, then put the Thundercracker and Skywarp both with screaming head back in the box (in the wrong order), sealed it back up, and returned it.
And I wish I was there to pick it up because I actually want both of them to have screaming heads.Jeddostotle7 wrote:Nickster563 wrote:It seems they actually both have the screaming face. They must be really tired of Starscream's BS lol.

Same here. I have to hit a pharmacy every week for Sudafed and this time I hit my good Target. Plenty of Grapples and Shockwaves with a single ER Starscream. No end cap to speak of, and I walked around not just where the figures were.ChrisRiss wrote:And here, I can't find a normal one because no Target in my area is carrying them.

While I like how they remolded the threads to make a single one, I still think that this figure is an easy pass if you already got the Siege.
Unlike Optimus, I think we're still far from the "ultimate" Generations Megatron.

I disagree. They can pull it off by making him have the same silhouette as the U.N.C.L.E. Special (albeit turned upside-down), but giving him molded details to dress it up as a vehicle.ZeroWolf wrote:MadProject wrote:I don't know if it has already been posted, but we have a videoreview of ER Megatron.

Question is, what would a ultimate generations megs look like of they can't do anything too close to his original (and silly) alt mode. This also rules out a 'submarine' mode, as unlike Shockwave and Sixshot (+redecos/retools), megs submarine mold would still look too much like the real deal.

MadProject wrote:funny thing, for me with a few tweaks this mold could have been.
-a better headsculpt
-a flip-out tank barrel from the fusion cannon, instead of a partsforming
-wrist articulation
-sidearm panels to cover the hollowness left by the fists.

Maybe but the complainers just whine in the air. Proof is that Leader Optimus sold incredibly well.
So, yeah, a leader Megatron in a completely original mold would have been the better option. And to "fill the gaps" in the leader box, just add accessories or even some exclusive Micromasters.

You mean like designing megs to look like his Cybertron character to go against Galaxy Upgrade Prime?
