    The MP had a shield that doubled as a flight stand.

    This looks good and the price is great, but I was really hoping Saber wouldnt have the fore arm gaps. I'd galdly back more for the visible hollow to be covered with folding panels. That and it would be great if Victory Leo was just a touch taller. But for $180, for the set I guess I cant complain too much :p

    I think when most people say "G1" what they mean is "Sunbow cartoon"

    After the campaign closes, but (long) before it ships.

    If this is successful enough hopefully it'll open doors to those guys through more regular channels.

    One is Masterpiece, one isnt. And the Masterpiece Saber has hollow forearms too. And the Haslab Starsaber looks even more detailed than the Masterpiece.

    So....

    They said in the livestream that links for other countries will be coming soon. Relax, you've got 45 days.

    I read this in the voice of an early 1700's French aristocrat.

    Pulse is only in the US/UK but Hasbro partners with 3P retailers (and Takara) to open access to people outside of those markets.

    And that process has been streamlined since Unicron.

    I’ve wanted a Star Saber for my Classics shelf but sadly its a crowdfunded figure.

    I am thinking of backing it but I need to know. Will I be charged for the 180+ upfront? Or on October 10th if it gets backed? Or is it next year if it gets backed and they ship him out?

    Star Saber looks close to Jetfire height. Victory Leo alone looks like the size of Studio Series Grimlock. I think Victory Saber might end up being close to Combiner Wars Devastator height.

    Oct 10th if it funds. There will be a pre-authorization when you place your initial order though.

    MP Star Saber was almost $300 during the initial release, and also is in the fucking masterpiece line. While this is a crowdfunder, it's still obvious to anyone looking at the price tag that this is not working with a masterpiece budget. Wtf did you expect?

    I keep seeing people complain about Sabers hollow arms, but doesn't the MP also have hollow arms? I don't have one, but pictures I see online, they look hollow.
