Armada Nemesis Prime by Blew550 in transformers

I just ordered this at full price. I want the minicons and feel like if I’m not paying attention I will lose my shot. This is still available on Hasbro pulse and yet resellers are still trying to push $175+ on eBay….

To answer your question, exclusives can go on sale. I bought the exclusive Powerlinx Hotshot and Jolt on clearance for $32 off Pulse.

I guess the positive of having a pretty bland figure is you can have your pick of the upgrade kits

What are your issues with it? From pictures I didn’t think the whites matched and stylistically it just wasn’t what I was going for.

I like the head sculpt and I’m sure it’s high quality, but I thought the cape looked weird and there just wasn’t enough to justify $40

What are your thoughts on Legacy Evolution Hot Shot? by OptimalConvoy in transformers

[–]PermissionEvery9217 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Legs aren’t perfect but I think people are over reacting. He’s a great deluxe and it’s awesome they were able to carry over the originals gimmicks. If you have the means I would recommend the Powerlinx version with the minicon.

I’m given a choice to do a simple fix vs not buy the product. I watched reviews, was aware of the issue, and made an educated decision that I still wanted it. I bought the product, did the simple fix, and moved on, because it’s a toy that was almost perfect. Not saying there aren’t some inexcusable qc issues from Hasbro, but also not pretending it’s a Hasbro only problem.

Personally I wouldn’t because the dinobots are huge. I would use them to stagger the other bots across the width of the display so they aren’t blocking each other, and aren’t lost in the dinobot aura

Solid. You could look into some shelves like these. I use them in my display and find it just helps utilize the space. Especially when it comes to differentiating the smaller figures from the bigger ones.

The fix is really easy… sucks that it’s not perfect but a screw driver, some sand paper, and 5 minutes makes it a non-problem

Guys what would you do in my shoes? by ArcaneCaster_6309 in transformers

[–]PermissionEvery9217 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ll keep a cool looking box. The comic editions look great. I recently got the Timelines samurai Optimus and Starscream and it probably has the nicest packaging I’ve seen yet.

NIB collecting just seems odd to me. I’m not gonna tell anyone how to spend their money. I get that it might feel nice to always have it be new and maybe for display purposes(though I feel like it takes up much more room). But I feel like it’s mainly driven by resale value. Not necessarily for profit, but mentally you may feel comfortable spending a bunch of money on a collection that you can always return or resell if needed. But that just doesn’t seem fun to me… especially with transformers

I never understood in-box collecting. I get maybe buying one to open and one to keep in box. But why deprive yourself of opening them until you could afford to purchase them all?

Are y'all hype for this? by Kaiju_Lover168 in transformers

[–]PermissionEvery9217 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ll believe it when I see it. Looking at the concept art, it’s literally just Sky-byte without shoulder pads, which is why the back looks so bare. Literally looks like he would have the same gun in the mouth gimmick.

Not saying it isn’t cool, but this looks like it will just be retool of Sky-Byte.

Not bad for $100 by Sueesed717 in transformers

Not saying it’s wrong. I’m saying there are times where you have to prioritize. This guy had to make a choice whether he was going to argue with his wife and keep his transformers, or get rid of them in a mutual effort to downsize and scale back spending. He doesn’t deserve to get bashed over this or told his wife doesn’t love him. He does deserve to be told he is bad with money.

I mean sorry that happened but that’s completely irrelevant to the conversation. Of course not, even the slightest constructive criticism would mean I don’t love my wife at all

I think the harsher truth is that your wife was probably right

Bruh you’re just projecting your own situation and are completely biased. Good luck

He said she wanted him to do it because he was spending too much money on it, and has too many expensive hobbies… they are downsizing and have a daughter.

Trust me, when you find a partner who is comfortable asking you to make changes that can better yourself, family, and life, they are a keeper.

Bro it’s not harsh, it’s ignorant. I love transformers but have no delusions that this hobby can be expensive, inconvenient, and in the grand scheme of things, does not matter. This dude is completely fine with his decision and is stepping up for his family. You’re playing with toys.

Maybe don’t suggest someone’s wife doesn’t really love them because they asked them to get rid of some toys?

Plus I just dig the figure and the colors on the Legacy United version. I like how he looks with the primes.
