    It's probably just the result of a non-native speaker throwing up his hands in frustration when trying to remember the subtle and arbitrary way written English distinguishes between possessive, plural, and possessive plural even though spoken English makes no distinction whatsoever.

    No problem. We’re all just having fun here…waiting to blow our money.

    Hahaha. Sometimes having everything spelled out isn’t any fun.

    Watch this become the modern FIRRIB/FIBRIR, haha

    Personally i'm one of the "with the space" crowd, but I think at the end of the day, either is fine and correct.

    Fans Toys Terminus Giganticus (because there are multiple fans and multiple toys and Terminus Giganticus doesn't belong to either).

    Fan's Toys Terminus Giganticus (because there is only one fan and there are multiple toys belonging to said fan, yet Terminus Giganticus still doesn't belong to either).

    Fans' Toys Terminus Giganticus (because there are multiple fans and multiple toys and said multiple toys belong to said multiple fans, but still Terminus Giganticus doesn't belong to either).

    Or:

    This is actually Fans' Toys' Terminus Giganticus (because there are multiple fans, to whom multiple toys belong, and the figure named Terminus Giganticus belongs to Fans Toys, who are the manufacturer.... of which we are fans.

    ???

    Processor diagnostics: critical. System malfunction: imminent. Reason: English grammar incomprehensible.

    I can't even begin to consider multiple Terminus Giganticuses? or Gigantici? Let alone anything in their possession.

    I think that settles it. My above comment is the reason why they've opted for Robot Paradise. Nothing to do with copy right. It's simply to avoid any grammatical ambiguities moving forward.

    When they either figure out how to fix whatever is secretly wrong with their protos...

    OR

    When they figure out how to break to buyers that the skeleton / trailer costs an extra $300.

    (j/k...... maybe?)

    Or they realize the combiners are an inflection point for some of us and decided to squeeze as much money as they can while there's still interest for MP renditions of G1 characters.

    Or larger bots are less profitable right now due to shipping cost, so FT has switched to releasing mostly small and mid-sized bots in an effort to maximize profit.

    Exactly. Perfect Fusion: was it perfect? Good but not perfect. Robot Paradise? Can’t argue with that!

    It would be the ultimate flex if they released Hotspot or Hook before Deadend!

    FT is really good at packing big bois though (Omega is an exception, of course - but still!). It is a given that the trailer/skeleton will come in packaged as compressed as humanly possible (as in, miss transformed to hell) so I have a hard time believing that's the reason holding Dead End (what's the real reason absolutely no one knows). But yeah, even then, it will likely be a bigger package but it will not be as big as some are expecting IMO.

    I need my luxury fix damn it. The one only FT can provide.

    idk. i know yoiur joking but 300 for ft skeleton vs 229 for xtb or 275 for mp52 seems like a good deal to me. ill get at least 2 either way. one for display and one just in case. i do this for all my collectables ever since losing some statues to a family friend "bumping" me shelves. id hate to have to rebuy this on the aftermartket later if something happend to the first one so im planning ahead

    At this point, I’ll pay whatever as long as FT doesn’t make it as fragile as MP-47. Staycations equals extra money to burn.

    I don’t mind them taking some time to work out problems if there is a stability problem.
