That moment when a grey cylinder is more exciting than the robot action figures it comes with.

I still kinda want this though, especially since I own neither Bee nor Steeljaw.

Hasbro should have packed all the RID Deluxes INSIDE stasis pods. Hell, the cardbacks and bubbles cost money to make, and they just get thrown away. This was a perfect opportunity to make the packaging part of the toy in a way that ties into the show, and they mucked it up.

 

... Really? It's TRU, I was honestly expecting $59.99 or thereabouts. That's actually quite reasonable.

 

Yeah, but then you have to take the cost of the stasis pod packaging, i have a hunch it's pricey if it's durable. But if Bionicle could do it... Transformers can.

 

An old pic from work:



As of today, the price is the same, they're just in stock at the DC instead of pending.

 

Damn. All they had to do was give them better paint.

I'd pay a whole 10 bucks more if Bee and Steeljaw had premium paintjobs. Some tron lines on Steeljaw, his full feet and claws painted, BUMBLEBEE'S MOLDED CHEST DETAILS (It's literally two drops of blue and gray HasTak. This mold has been realeased 9 fucking times now and not one has painted those faux lights.), and some colors on the weapons/pods would have been gravy.

But as cool as it is, I'm not buying doubles of the toys I already own just to have some plain plastic, albeit neat, accessories.

I'd have shilled out 50 USD on this if only it had nicer paint. Your loss, Hasbro.

 

Agreed. But larger and without the other junk.

 

I wonder if that stasis pod will fit inside one of Fort Max's legs?

 

I like this set. I don't have either of the figures yet, so to get them and a stasis pod would be great. I hope it turns up here and at a reasonable price!

 

I love the idea that Hasbro is releasing something they don't normally do and that's in show props outside of weapons etc. I just wish they could release them with maybe new Decepticons or Minicon packs cause that way they could still probably sell if not better if they were included with new characters.

 

Saw this today in store
