Not quite true, Boba Fett at least had lines. Still kinda keen, especially as I've no intention of getting any AoE Bees.
Yeah having a leader Galvatron would've been nice with a voyager Lockdown. Would've gave more room for a better (loosely) screen accurate version both of them to be made. Don't forget the flip changer one step ultra mega size whatever they called it Grimlock, the size of a chihuahua they put out. Looks more like it should have been a play set from the eighties that opens up to have smaller figures run around in. Like the old castle Greyskull set from He-Man.
I agree. They Probably would've been able to make Galvatron transform half decently and same thing with lockdown! Stupid hasblow! But hey It's grimlock they wanted to showcase the dinobots so they had to give him a leader class.
Yeah man but that ginormous grimlock dog bot is clearly aimed at parents with slightly deeper pockets. I mean yeah i see what they're going for but i'm not paying that price they're asking for! That price mad me laugh which is why i'm waiting for Kujo Grimlock to go on clearance.
Can't they just remold some pieces to at least look like a different sports car? It doesn't even have to be a pagini(although I'd prefer it)
of course they could, they just wouldn't spend the money doing it cause it'll cut into their profit margins.
Like, three. And they weren't special or anything. Yeah, I've almost bought it twice now. I'd be better off just buying a Pegani model, though.
Yeah i picked him up a while ago in fear that this would happen and id be stuck with yet another bumblebee mold. Not that i dont like bee or anything. And seeing that his movie transformation isnt anything special, i figure that the one step changer fits his character perfectly.
Finally we're actually getting a Deluxe Class Stinger, so what if he's not a retool, I'm just glad we're getting him. I definitely have got to pre-order him. I don't get this curse of the red cars? What is it about red movie cars that makes it so difficult for Hasbro to give a release. I know Dino and Stinger had alt. modes they couldn't get licenses to but still? I don't get why they let Bay use vehicles they can't make toys out of?
Dino had no license for ferrari, Stinger has license for pagani since they've made one step changers out of him. I think the problem in this case isn't licensing but budget. They're not gonna make a mold for only one character, they're gonna use a mold that they know they can milk as another character for a few years.
Kind of figured they would just use the new concept Bumblebee for Stinger. Guessing it is cheaper for them to do then to come up with a completely new mold. I might get him. He does look pretty cool in the red and black color but I'll have to wait for some better pics before I decide.
It doesn't mean they have the license for Pagani, they have made plenty of toys that look like the sorta could be that kind of car. Unless the box has the Pagani official product logo on it, they don't have it.
I don't know about the box, but yeah the transformer must have the car company's logo on it to be licensed.
IIRC wasn't that one of the problems with the Hasbro release of the Car Brothers from Car Robots/RID? They had to remold X-Brawn because of licensing rights or something?
I don't know about remold, but I think they painted over the majority of his headlights because of it.
I'm glad it's happening, but since it's Takara, I'm seriously questioning whether I'll want to drop $30-$40 on this.
