    No, it's not just a don't buy it and move on situation. You have to let companies know that these practices are not acceptable with as much bad press as you can give them. Customers hold the power, not companies.

    We aren't taking about a civil rights movement here. It's a toy. The most powerful thing you can do is vote with your wallet.

    Either way, looks great. I'm in for three

    I usually buy anything XTB/KFC like I do for FT but I am out on this one. I will wait a LONG time to see if I get one on sale and I was definitely ALL IN on this one when it was announced. Such a stupid move. Maybe this and their God Ginrai pricing might teach them a lesson when this doesn't sell.

    $29. I wouldn't want it any bigger for my display. Just plopped it there for a quick pic, not going to leave it lIke that. Probably put it behind Galvatron...

    I am hopping for an upgrade kit that replaces the effect part/stand so its much taller. I think that would be all I'd need.

    That size looks great to me as well, really just could stand to be a bit taller.

    Well he told us on Facebook the price wasn’t final, but then later realized it was. You know how that goes. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    That’s a lot of drama over a toy. You lot need to take a yoga class or at least get some fresh air.

    I was originally going in for this one without giving the Hasbro version a look. That has now completely changed. The Hasbro version looks like it will suit my collection quite nicely and ol’ Eggy here, at that price, can take a very large leap.

    I've got two on pre order and will grab the Pit too, along with some Sharkies. It'll sit alongside HasLab Unicron as a movie homage (everyone else appears in S3 so I can live with it). MFT Kup and Hot Rod will go in the Pit too. Can't decide whether to grab the dx9 dinobots too...

    Thanks for the pic. Great to see it in a Masterpiece display. Looks like it fits in well enough for me.


    That would be welcome, but until then I am happy to make do with it as-is.

    Yes, I suppose that's fair.

    What a very... dramatic thing to say.

    I'm still in for it. Honestly, I've paid more for figures than 175 dollars so price is not an excuse. The Quintessons were really impressive to me at the time, truly alien characters. And the XTB does look like the best version. I was planning to buy three for obvious reasons, but I'm going to make do with one.
