    the only reason i am not interested on him, its not because its too late, but because i have my NO BUY TAKARA TOMY EXCLUSIVE FIGURES rule. because they are too expensive in my currency (Unless a hobby store picks him and sells him in a decent price over here)

    I'd consider him but honestly as you all have said, what's the point.

    I have no clue why they waited this long to release Stinger.

    Dude. Robotkingdom has it for $22 (plus shipping) and mine has already shipped.

    1. I've already paid for mine, so that's not relevant to me in any way.
    2. RK's shipping isn't cheap anymore.
    3. I'll be bundling it with other stuff, the average cost of shipping per item will be cheaper than the cheapest shipping price from RK, regardless (and I'll likely get it cheaper too.
    4. Thanks to the exchange rate, I paid $19.43 for Stinger from HLJ, so cheaper than RK anyways.
    5. I don't need it right now, so I'm fine sitting on it, along with Legends Brainstorm and the Swerve/Tailgate two-pack, for a while.

    A simple "I've got it covered" would have been sufficient

    So, is just a repaint? Then pass for the 50 or 60 bucks I have to pay no thank you. It sucks that habro did not care too much for this line.

    Getting it, though I don't have any movie toys on display anymore. May keep this one unpacked to try to fashion something to angle his spinner blades on his back at a better angle. As I have always said, not ideal, but passable when the alternative is nothing, much like Dino.

    No need to be rude about it...

    Let's see. Red? Check. Black? Check. Bumblebee bot mode? Check. Green eyed battle mask face? Check.

    Preeeeeeetty sure that's Stinger, bro.

    Pagani Huayra alt mode? NOPE. Pretty sure it's just a lazy repaint.

    You want a Pagani? Play with the One-step. This is Stinger, despite people's whining about the car mode.

    Looks cool, but no cool enough for me to spend triple the amount for it. PASS and TRASH!

    I don't see how I was rude when it was pretty clear from my first post I "had it covered." I spelled it out because I had no idea otherwise why you would bother letting me know RK had it for that price like I wouldn't already know that or that it would still be relevant when I said I already paid for it elsewhere. I wouldn't have spelled all that out if I felt it wasn't necessary since you didn't get it the first time around.

    Because of the alt mode compromise, for some people this will never be a "proper" Stinger, just like we don't have a "proper" Dino/Mirage. I understand the complaint, but yeah this is what we're left with if we want one (barring them being included in the next movie line and their alt mode getting licensed that time around). It's not my preference to see it done this way, but oh well at least it's out there for those that are interested.

    Its nice to see Stinger's getting a figure.

    It looks pretty nice.
