    I have the Sail Barge and have the Razorcrest backed. And have a lot of friends with the Sentinel and keep up with Marvel Legends and I can promise you, they're ALL complaining about the same things. Well, the Razorcrest has been delayed a season but you should see the pitchforks on various forums for it because of people's various complaints. At the end of the day, it's all the same for Hasbro and the complaining is drowned out by all the money. I'm sure they're also not too concerned because I don't think anybody's ever lost money re-selling a HasLab project so technically, it's a win-win if you're that disappointed.

    buying multiple haslab items during an availability window with limited purchases is not scalping, that's investment to sell on the aftermarket. its when its a non haslab figure that is up for preorder day 1 and its sold out due to scalping bots to resell the same day for double or triple that is bullshit.

    Buddy, you seem to fail to realize that it is made to order... This means if.11k is the goal and 20k units are ordered then 20k units are produced and sent out. They do not put this back into production to make more and some ninja is running around stores grabbing them up or a macro is running to order it from retailers preventing the population at large from getting it. You go to the website if you are in the US, Canada or UK and back the project. If you aren't, you back it through other affiliate sites

    If you do not back it and regret it later you pay the late tax. Honestly, no one is slapping your hand and saying "no" to you ordering this.

    Not really surprising, people were speculating that one of the tiers might be a stand for this thing.  So, will this figure be top heavy or weak kneed like the Sentinel?  Both?  So the final tier would be a shield.

    The stand is fine. I’m glad it’s offered if reached but this could have been revealed Day 1 because I don’t see it bringing in more backers.

    This haslab project feels very half assed and it’s such a shame. Not only is the prototype still not painted, but we’re getting a stand as an unlock bonus and I doubt we’ll be able to adjust the positioning of how the vehicle mode in terms of rotation. Can’t wait for the next unlock bonus to be his shield.

    A stand is a good addition, but it didn't bring on a wow factor that we were expecting. I think it would be nice if they add something to it and @WishfulThinking brought up a good idea that they can add for the stand that it can play sound clips from the show and the theme song of Transformers Victory instead of it being a boring old stand. I personally do hope this get backed and it seems it will, but it will be a shock if it won't get backed. Tier 3 I think will be the shield or something, but it won't be a big item to go with Victory Saber.

    Hmm, I was more excited about the stand earlier, but after taking a closer look, it doesn't appear to have a readily accessible 3mm peg. That would limit use on just about any other figure.

    It's baffling how mad some of y'all are getting at a potential free addition to this toy. If you're angry because you got too damn excited about a potential reveal and were disappointed by what they revealed, you have nobody to blame but yourselves.

    But he isn't, because he gets some things factually incorrect, like the idea that Hasbro makes 300-400% interest over twelve months.

    It's really not, words have meanings, you CANNOT scalp something that is made to order, even if there is a cutoff because there is not a finite limit of orders during the ordering process.

    Scalping is when someone uses bots to preorder every single copy of the Metroid Dread special edition within 20 seconds of it going live and IMMEDIATELY listing it for preorder on ebay at 4x the retail price, thus choking out fans.
