Club Exclusive Nightbeat Close To Sold Out

You can always buy mine.

Really...
I suppose this explains why a good number of people didn't care about the problems with P/PC.
They've just lowered their standards.
Of course that would explain allot of things.

So let's see. This exclusive took about 2 years to finally sell out. That's never a good sign. I think part of the problem was the mold used for Nightbeat. While I don't mind Energon Hot Shot's mold, I know others despise it. My biggest beef has more to do with the head (pretty common complaint among exclusives). I don't mind the head, but the lack of antennae ruins the figure for me. I know there was some BS about them interfering with the transformation, but still. The original antennae/guns were removable. Would adding 2 small accessories have ramped up the costs that much? I have never liked the club's decision to abandon the antennae.

So to sum it up, the club was sooooo close to getting this exclusive right. Nightbeat would have been sold out long ago if antennae would have been included. I can almost guarantee it.

I just can't stand that mold. Antennae would definitely have been an improvement, but I would probably still have passed. There are just so many other molds that would have made a better looking Nightbeat.

I didn't care about the existance of antennae or lack thereof. Making him a headmaster would have been a stronger selling point I think. As for using Hot Shot's mold, that didn't bother me any. It's a decent mold.

WTF is prohibitably expencive? And what context is that being used in?

Two reasons I did not buy him.

I did not like the mold
It is not a headmaster

Maybe your standards are too high.

Could be the case. However, I think the comments in this thread highlight Nightbeat's shortcomings. Plus that pinhead for Punch/Counterpunch is laughable.

I see nothing wrong with high standards. As consumers, we can't just settle for whatever Hasbro (or the club) rolls of the assembly line. That's the power of the consumer dollar.

This is true, but the club does an excellent job giving us newish figures with the limited resources they have. It would be impossible for the club to give us brand new molds. The nightbeat paintjob looks much better than the original hotshot. P/CP has its problems but until Hasbro decides to give us a proper P/CP they did and excellent job.
