    Oh and the price? That's making me laugh. 6 deluxes, $180? 30 bucks a deluxe for a convention exclusive? And that's throwing in Lazerbeak, Ratbat, all the clothes, the record, the comic for free! I'm not saying it's not a lot of money, but if these were G1, G2, or Shattered bloody Glass repaints, or Takara exclusives people would be throwing their money at their screens right now.

    That's.... wow. Just watch the rest be Goat Simulator crossovers. It would be normal compared to this.

    I stand corrected, still less than 50 bucks each though, people pay waaay more than that for other exclusives.

    So, because they don't like it, they're non-fun loving bitter grown ups? I'm sure there's stuff you don't like. Can I call you names too because you don't like them? :)

    Wow, okay. I was NOT expecting something like this.

    I'm not really feeling it. Happy for those who like this, but it's not something I am interested in. I may actually skip the Hasbro booth this year, first time in a long while. I was really hoping for reissue G1 Dinobots, or a similar "gotta have it" exclusive. Maybe there is a chance at more SDCC TF exclusives, I guess we'll see.

    As a huge fan of 80's hair metal, consider this a must own for me. I certainly see that it's not for everyone. For those who don't like it, well you just saved $180. For me, I now have $180 less for Botcon.

    Just because someone doesn't like this does not mean they're unable to have fun and take this hobby too seriously, it's just a matter of opinion.

    Pass. Cool that this year I don't have to worry about SDCC exclusives for Transformers, Marvel Legends, or Marvel Universe. Not interested. Maybe next year.

    It's because of people like the designer of this set that we made the box. The box is for him. People like him should stay inside the box. He can not handle going outside of the box.
