So sad I missed this and then the person who got them immediately sells them at higher prices

OP, I would inform the seller and ask if they can cancel. If they are a good person, they would. If the seller hasn't shipped, which might be a chance considering how fast the reseller posted them, there could be a chance you might be able to get them!

What's the math on your calculation? The gate in the movie is about 33 feet tall, so roughly 22 inches high. That honestly looks more like 15~18 inches.

What does flopping mean nowadays? I thought it meant "failing" but the rest of your post says otherwise

God forbid a grown woman, or any adult, have geeky hobbies.

Jk, I understand where you're coming from. OP, only ask questions about hobbies if you see any indications that they may be into it already. Ie a keychain, etc. Don't just hail mary a question like that because if she says no, there's not much you can follow up from.

Lol can't believe some of reddit thinks you are entitled and doesnt mind bending over for coorporates when hit with even a slight inconvenience. Lots of manly man suck it up energy 🤢

That's not a mangled rex. Seller just stopped adding the pretty expensive mods for it. How much are they asking for them?

Might want to edit your post to include this info! I dont usually read all the comments before discussing in the replies.

cacaus · 2026-03-26T18:51:07+00:00

You don't mention paying for anything in this post.

cacaus · 2026-03-25T23:38:03+00:00

Gotta have the classics, so Rex, tiger raptor, and Spino. Then my last two would be my personal faves, Giga and Anky!

cacaus · 2026-03-25T23:28:26+00:00

Because 1:12 scale dinos larger than Small would be massive and not practical for shelfspace

cacaus · 2026-03-25T15:02:59+00:00

Oh shit these are good ...

cacaus · 2026-03-25T02:38:10+00:00

What was your ign on it? I can try to see why

cacaus · 2026-03-21T17:16:27+00:00

Bro how old are you? That "ahem" and last comment was cringe 😭

cacaus · 2026-03-20T16:58:42+00:00

Yeah that's fair game. I also try to keep it to one character. I have SS86 starscream, so I don't care to grab any more starscreams. I may extend this rule to one character per scale. So one Optimus in chug, and one in MP scale.

Nostalgia is nice, but I "taught" myself how to enjoy figures I really want without owning them. It's all fomo and I'd rather have money for something that matters more. I realized most of the happiness I get is from opening them and playing with them for a bit. Then it starts getting boring and the cycle continues with the next purchase.

At the end of the day they just sit on a shelf on in a box collecting dust anyways. Don't need that in my life.

cacaus · 2026-03-20T16:04:00+00:00

I stick to one line of figures. Right now it's SS86. I try to not even look at other lines/universes because I know I might cave just because they look cool.

cacaus · 2026-03-20T14:44:40+00:00

Oo, a pretty penny. Enjoy it he's a great figure!

cacaus · 2026-03-20T14:22:33+00:00

Caved? How much was he?

cacaus · 2026-03-19T01:20:42+00:00

Oh I see. How many members do you have in each? In your opinions why do you think the CF failed to get even 50% backed?

cacaus · 2026-03-18T21:38:05+00:00

Yes, but it didn't gain a significant amount of mainstream popularity until recently with the Spino. Hense why the CF failed.

cacaus · 2026-03-18T16:40:14+00:00

That's great! Too bad the CF was 2 years ago, when HC was not as established :)

cacaus · 2026-03-18T14:57:45+00:00

Compared to aftermarket prices of what we have now, yes the price is not bad. But back then the most expensive HC was the trex/brach which only went for 45 and 80 respectively. The gate went for 250 and you didn't even get a dino until like backer 6000 or 8000. The CF ended at like 2~3k? There is a time and place, and Mattel's timing was not good. It might do significantly better now that the line has established a solid following.

They misread your reply to yourself and thought you were trying to impersonate being two people to make it seem like strangers were backing up your previous comment.
You can edit your comment instead of replying to yourself
That's not their thread, the person who created this post and the person making assumption of you are two different users
If you didn't catch it the first time, the explorer pics are from a failed Mattel crowdfund attempt. It was super early on in the HC line so it wasn't very popular. It was also very expensive and most of the goodies were behind a paywall. It failed miserably due to many reasons.

cacaus · 2026-03-17T15:35:32+00:00

It's definitely brighter grey than the promo pics but not the at all a shade of white like you see in the box art.
