    You're not missing anything. This is completionist and fanperson garbage. The train bots are vastly overpriced and look like trash. His legs are hollow as hell in the back. His back pack is almost another transformer in its self. I would love a chug Reiden but 900 plus for this is a joke. This might be the worse MP ever made.

    Yeah people say that about Kingdom Rodimus, too. MP's are a combination of engineering and licensing. He's got more engineering than a Voyager.

    Cool, but man, will we ever see Jazz or Mirage? I've long since stopped with MP, but I'd happily make an exception for those two!

    Because that's what Shouki looks like, and, rather than going for the obsessively toon accurate like the last few, they're dialing it back to how older MP figures did it.

    Now price on the other hand, yeah, that's a bit much, but at least he looks the part unlike Moon Studio's

    Technically Rise of the Beasts killed both birds with one stone.

    Incorrect, the only 3rd party I own are DNA leg kits for magnus. I don't support 3rd party figures only occassionaly upgrade kits.

    This is grossly overpriced. Should be 100 max.

    I agree with you on the second part, but I partly disagree with your opinion on 3rd party figures. 3rd party figures can sometimes be WAY better than the offficial stuff. they can however, be a very mixed bag. the best 3rd party figures I've ever seen are mmc assaultus and deformation space crimson wings. the worst figures I've ever seen are bold forms gladius and toyworld constructor. planet x is good, but they have some odd QC issues

    Hastak lowered the price on him. He is $159 now so it would be $954 for 6 trainbots. (Assuming the pricing holds)

    hastak: alright, we got these trainbots that are planned to release in either kingdom or legacy
    employee: what if we upscaled them and charged way too much for them?
    hastak: my god... SOMEBODY PROMOTE THIS GUY!

    Zeta toys/ moon studio/ cell/ whoever the fhluck they are you know who I'm talking about: okay guys we've got a plan. Let's just do exactly what Hasbro is doing but better and cheaper and-- shit! Copyright strike! Okay delay it by a year and give it a different name sperated head and wings and say it's an upgrade kit. Now do the exact same thing again for Raiden.

    Which still isn't great, but at least better than it used to be
