    He's closer to voyager scale but yeah $60 is a bit steep for this guy. With that being said, my love for historical militaristic vehicles has left me no choice but to empty my pockets for these guys

    Orders up at TFS for Bulldog,

    Buying less and less nowadays, but I slapped a preorder on this immediately -

    Awesome senile british trooper from WW2? That turns into a tank? Yes please!!!

    (and for the record, watching that last Bayverse film actually made me question my loyalty to this franchise!!)

    Watching The Last Knight and trying to make sense of the plot made me feel like acquaintances of mine (who are not into TFs) watching the 2007 movie.

    Love the Bayverse designs (mostly) but that last movie makes me flinch on rewatch!....

    That's an easy, "No." Masterpiece pricing for a deluxe figure... this line won't go anywhere.

    Wow! I thought you were talking about 60 usd or something. 75 is not a good price for a figure like this.

    Man that’s a real bummer. Seems cool but they need to chill about their money. Seems disrespectful but I’d probably just wait for a ko.

    This is what happens when a company starts to think “ we have people that will buy our stuff no matter the price, let’s raise the price!!”

    That's just bad business. Price the first one low, then jack it up once we're hooked.

    I'm curious to know how many people who think the price is high actually know anything about production costs.

    aaaand in comes the person who will buy/defend the company no matter what. we know enough about production costs that this small deluxe sized figure should not be the price of a freaking masterpiece. i mean look at firage, he came from a fairly new company (alien attack) and that was cheaper, so a established company that has made figures cheaper than this should not be making this kind of figure MP price.

    And have you HANDLED Firage? the plastic quality makes him incredibly fragile. I broke a taillight on his second transformation.

    You get what you pay for.

    Not to mention-- and just for clarification --Alien Attack isn't a new company... it's XTB/KFC under a different name. The prevailing opinion is that Keith stood up AA as a 'quick to fail' if the product they produced didn't do well. That way if they only ever produced a few figures (as appears to be the case) the negative press focused on AA wouldn't reflect poorly on Keith's other companies.

    Everytime I see someone bringing up Keith I think of this guy:

    :lol 
    This isn't MP price.
    No third party toy but a few exceptions cost under 100 euro's.
    I think 60 euro for a third party deluxe is a normal price. Maybe if this guy is a voyager he is worth it, but it is a risky price for a character not many are familiar with.
    They should have started with Hot Rod imo.
