This morning, it was at just over 6500 but has suddenly increased to over 7200 in only a few hours! That's more than twice the average backer additions per day we've had so far!

Victory Saber I think they could do some sort of shattered glass concept while understanding there would be a smaller run and smaller demand than even for VS. Deathsaurus would have a potential repaint as Red Geist which would be a fun way to bring some Brave Universe into the Legacy line. But again that market would likely be very small. like 1/3rd of the run of Deathsaurus

But I thought part of what made a Haslab special was the idea that it would only be usedfor that purpose, and never again. I mean the molds for Unicron, VS, and DS still exist, they could put our feelers for another run, but of course, probably face backlash for it.

Unicron and a bunch of other HasLab figures were supposed to be available for around a month on Pulse late last year. They sold out in less than an hour.

Can you imagine what would happen if Hasbro decided to do another run on Unicron? First, it would probably BE closer to $700 in todays prices, but also, it would split the fandom. From those rejoicing at another shot, to those cursing Hasbro with spittle flecked rage.

True. But it is strongly surmised (and I agree). These were holdovers for QC issue replacements, thus why there were so few. This was not an additional run of the toys. Still, people lost their S##t over it.

I felt like I was having a stroke trying to read that.
Not sure how making Optimus Prime yellow is woke, and genderbent characters aren't exactly anything new if you've been online in the past few decades. Its just a fun alternate take on the character.

#1 Signal Lancer fan wrote:In regards to the potential repaints, I don't get why people would be upset about a redo/repaint having its own limited run for (presumably) the same price or higher. Yes, the mold may be slightly less exclusive, but it's a different variation having its own limited run.
Instead of two Defensors, give the "Midnight Shield" version's deco to the Ultra Magnus mold.Emerje wrote:I'd buy all of them, but I'd be least excited by Midnight Defensor.
