    Because most of the pics were of the base mode nobody will use instead of combined mode.

    if enough people vote with their wallets and @ibot gets a clear message to dump the electronic gimmicks, hopefully XTB will offer a reasonable price option at some point. Wasting money on a mould that doesn't sell would be bad for business

    They've hinted a few times at a 3 pack down the line. So it's possible that will work out cheaper per egg (though obviously more expensive overall)

    Remember folks, comparing the prices for HasTak with that of 3rd Party isn't really fair. Hastak has higher production capacity compared to 3rd party, which can only have a small run of the products. Still, the current MSRP for this product is too high.

    Wow man, how are you able to offer what looks like $150 worth of mechanical engineering and Lighting for £99?!

    Those aren’t stolen eggs are they?

    No, this is a clean operation!

    I've got an egg supplier that can basically sell to me in bulk. There's a few options actually - there's cartons of 6, 12, and then a super box of 18. It's all comes down to economies of scale really.

    Incredible! The next generation of organic 3P!

    Just one qualm, if we double or triple the price could we get an additional light colour or perhaps a hat?

    I call BS, those look like KO eggs. You probably reverse engineered a real egg and made it yourself, no doubt with inferior materials.

    According to ibots, XTB confirmed that Ultra Magnum copied the Donald duck's egg design and already reported this to Disney, soon this infamous KO guy will behind bars.
    And to celebrate this, Dr. Egg's price will be on-sale in the next 3 days, for only $169.99 with platinum screws, so buyers can screw themselves.

    Very impressed, but may I suggest an 'egghanced' version in a years time? I'm thinking a blue duck egg for the base, solid copper tentacles, and some metallic paints for the faces. Whack another hundred or so on the price tag and I guarantee they'll pay it.

    YouTube (Handle):
    The original run of MP-29 was nowhere near that. I think I only paid around £100 in the UK and we always pay more. The + version was a lot more, but that was because it was an exclusive and the beginning of Takara's silly pricing. Anyone who bought that knew what they were getting and obviously made their peace with it. I didn't because it wasn't worth the additional cost to me and neither is this. I would have loved it as a regular piece, but I cannot support it at this price point just because they crammed it full of a bunch of crap I'll never use.

    I'm sure there are people who'll enjoy the electronic stuff, but I'd wager there are more who don't care for it and just wanted a reasonably priced regular figure.
