    Pretty much. The extensive remold of Overlord/Sky Shadow into Big Powered was 179.00 iirc. I had cash pegged for that but I think SS VL will leapfrog it in line. This really does look spectacular and much better than the MP that's more than half the price of this one.

    Don't know what lines you're collecting, but all the WFC/SS86 figures I have are gappy just like this or exceeding it. SS'86 Wreck-Gar, who seems to be a community darling for the minute, has hollow thighs, completely hollow saddlebags, hollow elbows, and hollow backs of the arms. Red Alert has hollow shins from the side, hollow thighs, hollow wrists, and hollow shoulders. Gappy like a retail figure, sure, but you're living in another world if you think this is any worse than figures you can find right now in Kingdom or SS'86.

    imagine how many more sales they'd get with a payment plan until it ships - Hasbro are you listening!

    That Armada Prime was established as a Takara project without any input from Hasbro, but oh my gosh, you made a really good point, nonetheless. The last we heard from Armada Prime was that Takara just didn't know what line to put him in. If Haslab Victory Saber works out, Takara might want to ask Hasbro if they can use the Haslab method to summon Armada Prime once and for all.

    I'm actually glad he's getting downscaled. I don't think I'd have the space for him if he was Titan-sized.

    OOH, and look! Someone on Twitter made our first digibash of Victory Saber! :D :D :D

    It looks like Star Saber's toes can fold in and maybe provide slots for the Victory Leo boots to tab into?

    And yeah, it really looks like the red squares on his shoulders (where his Autobot symbols would be) have some ventilation detail that reminds me of something IDW Star Saber had. Is anyone else seeing it or am I a blockhead?

    Backed it 6 hours ago and nothing is showing up on my card as of yet. I think you should be ok.

    People moaning about gaps or the sword and the like, when what they’ve shown is subject to change (sigh)

    Let\'s say go\" is a Japanese language pun, as it is written with the English word, \"Let\'s\", and the Japanese word \"seigō\" (整合), meaning \"coordinate\" or \"integrate\"

    as for 17K, and 20K stretch goals. I\'m hoping they are perhaps Micromasters, instead of static Human characters.

    If Hasbro were smart they would start airing Victory for the next 6 weeks like they do with their Gi Joe 24 hour live stream on You Tube to get people unfamiliar with him to understand why he's cool. Show that promo they used today that they created for the haslab FFF event after every episode. Backers and then some in no time.

    That would be really nice. Official subbed versions being uploaded onto their Youtube channel would be excellent.

    I'm still going back and forth, if the different tiers are met does that add to the cost?

    I was concerned about this, too, especially as the MP itself had to cheat on the gimmick.

    Absolutely not, in fact there may be changes added that are free like unicron from enough feedback on top of the tier rewards.
