    I enjoy how the value of this (as with most crowdfunded stuff) just got better with each tier. Like, it was a nice enough figure set to begin with, but the addition of all the extras just elevates it to a more impressive, cohesive display piece.

    1. You have to be old enough to understand how social media works. So 11 is about the minimum.

    2. sir I do not run a business but is not as easy as it sounds. Your parents are also likely upper class, I do not have that luxury.

    I have nothing BUT disrespect for sub-teenage target audience-viewer POV protagonist child characters in general! :lol 
    Plus a healthy skepticism to exactly how much more "generous" Hasbro might be with the set.

    In 3 words, just the facts. An abridged version without all the opinions, wish lists, fighting, tangents, etc. Those are fine but not when the deadline looms (yeah I should have been keeping up, but did check in a few times and nothing much was new. Thought for sure there would be at least a couple options outside Haslab. Apparently Dorkside isn't buying. Possibly nor BBTS. Robot Kingdom isn't offering to US / CA so is Hasbro the only option outside eBay?

    A list of what pages for the relevant details and size comparisons, when the new tiers were dropped, etc.

    So basically...info you need in making last day decisions. Pretty sure I'm getting at least one but was gonna put a deposit down on a second or third (again all depending). Any updates like this would help a lot. Thanks

    I want a "I Am Not Star Saber" comic book where a teenage Jan turns his back on his Autobot friends.

    I'm happy we got past tier 3 just so that it shows Hasbro just how much people want JG1. Getting the shield is really nice for everyone who wanted it, but for me, I got what I wanted with tier 1.

    Now give us our Commander Deathsaurus in 2023 hastak! No compromised leader class. I'm talking full Victory Saber sized bot with both Breast masters and full living metal destroying gun and flail.

    They’re not, they just get the whole investment idea and do it with me, my entire collection is self funded other than Haslab which they make profit off of so we just do it. I mean the other option not doing it is I don’t get a toy, they don’t get as much money, it’s just the logical thing for them because worst thing happens is mine doesn’t sell back for enough to pay back savings and buy another off of them and they make extra money. Sorry for getting all heated up about this, I understand some parents probably don’t trust their kids to just drop $750ish on toys and believe theyre making money, I mean when I say it like that it sounds ridiculous, but it was just a suggestion as how you might be able to grow your collection. Again my apologies for getting all worked up

    Companies like Hasbro didn't cause inflation, or force higher wages, or increase shipping and raw material costs which increased the price of everything. Blame your government for that problem, not Hasbro or ebay.

    the problem is that retailers would take like 100 extra it would not be worth, to be honest is stupid that they dont allow that, does someone here order unicron or anything haslab with a po box?

    You should get an e-mail notification from Hasbro when they charge you tomorrow.

    If you want one, save up 20-25$ a month ... then have the strength to not spend it in the mean time lol. That should give you enough money to pay for what people or some e-tailer is asking for online in a little over a year.
