    Was thinking about Haslab Victory Saber the other day. I hope we see some box photos soon, I really want to see how good it will be.

    I want to see if they’ll throw in super new art or super-throwback art based on the original VS gift set.

    Man, I wish we were getting updates faster.

    An upgrade kit for a longer sword, if needed, is an obvious one. Now for something a little more wild, pipo and boater Micromasters anyone?

    All I'm hoping for Is a good QC.

    That's the only reason I bought two. Just in case I had a QC issue I didn't want to be SOL.

    I'm not confident in Hasbro being able to resolve any possible issues.

    They sent me an entire new head for my Unicron after the faceplate tabs broke off on my initial one. I’m sure they’ll have replacement parts for VS too.

    No, dude, I've seen the show; I know how it works.

    What I meant was, I'm not sure that the molding of the V-Star would allow for blade storage, disappointing as that may be, hence the 'separate piece' part. Furthermore, if the blade can indeed store within the shoulder, that imposes a restriction on how large it can be.

    Lastly, I know that many people, myself included, are unsatisfied with how the blade mounts onto the nosecone hilt. They did say that it wasn't final, so that may change.

    The Masterpiece did it well, but at the cost of only allowing for one kind of orientation.

    How was Unicron? I have heard one or two problems but didn't seem to be widespread.

    I have two Unicrons, and neither figure had any issues that I've noticed. I am concerned about the recent problems with loose joints and misassembled figures from my latest Hasbro purchases.

    Yeah, I heard about the issues like Galvatron's shoulders being misassembled. I specifically asked about Unicron because it was a Haslab project like this, so I figure maybe this will have better QC. After all, it is a more limited and premium item. I hope that since there are only around 27,000 made, they could be more thorough with the QC. But capitalism and all that.

    I think with HasLabs being more important releases Hasbro will care about QC more. The only rampant issue with a HasLab were the knees on the sentinel being loose which just needed the screws to be tightened more.

    Forearm gap fillers for Saber, and I'm happy.

    Toyhax will probably do a set of toy accurate reprolables.

    If that's the method of measurement, we're not even in the car, yet.

    We got in the car when campaign launched. Shut the door when we got the initial requirement. Buckled in when we hit the 3rd tier. Right now we're waiting for mom to get the last of her 30 bags in the trunk and to stop aruging with dad about which exit off the interstate to go while the kids in the back seat argue over who gets the DS first.
