This is a really good call-out, because I read an investor note with a "sell" recommendation, and they specifically said they were negative because fansite crybabies don't like the looks of Hasbro's kids' media tie-in products. You should have a CNBC show, I can recommend a production contact if you're interested.

Cry-babies? Hahahaha get a life... look, I've been a collector for about 40 years now, and have close to 4,500 Transformers... if you can say the same, or even close to, I might listen to your opinion about these, but I get the feeling you can't. If you think these ROTB toys are good, you might want to look into go-bots instead, because Transformers are more than you deserve.

I love people who are so quick to try and silence others... it's so telling. Hey genius, you do know conversations are best when it includes all sides/views, not just the ones that fit.

Somehow, I doubt it. Most of that will likely be in a discount bin or an Ollie's at less than half it's original price.

And you know this how? Most liquidators I've seen don't carry that much, really, and even then only later waves.

For the record, if they sell, obviously people and kids are enjoying them. So let them. Me, eh... haven't bought anything Movie except for the Constructicons, missing Overload and Skipjack.

I fullscreen these videos on my 2k monitor and I get a small window of video. If I were on my phone and turned them sideways to get more video I'd get worse results. Pick a damn orientation. Every device can already fill in the blank space if a video doesn't fit the screen, so why are they trying to force the issue?

Brokebot wrote:Personal observation. The majority of TF's that ever show up here are from the kid's lines as opposed to the collector's lines, and they never move until the bulk of them disappear at once. I admit I've never been there when they go, so I am making the bold assumption that roving bands of 6 year olds flush with grandma money aren't forming raiding parties in Walmart's toy isle.

Hey genius, when you have one person insinuating that you're a crybaby, and another telling you that you're bitching and moaning, it puts a person on the defensive (a.k.a. being a d!ck")... adjust how you approach people, and you might get a different result. With that being said, do you have anything constructive to add to the conversation, or do you only jump in to try and shut others down?

Gatekeeping by saying your opinion means more based on the amount of time you've been collecting or the number of bots you own is offputting and just plain rude.

Remember just because you hate something with this kind of vitriol does not mean others cannot enjoy it. there are many tastes, none of them are wrong.

But you should not be an asshole about it either. And that is what I am seeing, and what I am formally stopping now. Next comment along the lines will not be so nice.

With that being said, a crocodile that turns into a 5mm compatible shotgun is worth $6 in my book. I think I spent more than that on a 3D printed Corgi/Missile Launcher, and I still haven't gotten him painted. (What color???)

I'm excited for the crocodile shotgun as well, and thats probably it other than airazor. Just wondering who I wanna pair the shotgun with. Maybe Mutant tigatron?

There's nothing "wrong" with GoBots. I actually have many of mine from childhood, and still enjoy them. The difference is with quality of materials and intricacy of transformation. The Transformers are just far superior in both aspects.
Impressive collection! I don't know if I can convince myself to buy these though... maybe on deep discount?
