    Back on topic, I realize I would've like an alternate Star Saber head, to mimic the look in the anime where he has his Saber head in scale with his Star Saber body

    That isn’t what I was saying though. The comparison would be Monstructor to Nemesis Victory Saber. I haven’t yet had someone tell me they’re clamoring for a generations update of Monstructor. Dinoking should absolutely be available to everyone.

    You can take Star Saber head off, if you just want the Saber head.

    He's asking for a bigger Saber head, as there's times in the anime where he has the helmet off but still in the big V-Star body.

    I'm sure someone will make a 3rd party upgrade kit with one of those

    I think you missed a good few pages of this thread and the WFC speculation thread in that case.

    To be fair, I don’t look at the spec thread ever, and I did skip ahead in this one. There’s been a surprising amount of irrelevant talk recently. But hey, good to know there actually is demand for Monstructor.

    Bro nightmare hellscape gambling when buying a figure and maybe get the wrong color or just another figure? Always disappointed you didn't win even if you didn't want it. That sounds horrible. Why would anyone suggest this.

    I don't even like funkos but they revealed some ponies. Pony stuff is hard to come by these days for G4. New stuff doesn't come out. So I saw them and thought ah well maybe I'll get one..

    Nft? What am I buyin'.
    What do I get. I'm sure if this stuff keeps up they will sell nft transformers figures of good designs people have been begging for. Because with nfts. Some moron will buy them. For some reason far beyond my understanding

    There's no merit in switching out the regular figure for a lucky-draw figure. That would be horrible.

    There is merit in the idea of a lottery for a limited run lucky-draw figure that would be IN ADDITION to the figure you ordered. There's some pros and cons to be weighed in that idea but the pros outweigh the cons in terms of Hasbro's part of the deal.

    If Galactus is shipping in November, that probably pushes Victory to 2023.

    Cons. Decepticons ofc. Let's get the pun out of the way first.
    One major con would be. Gambling. Id like to limit my gambling to hoping the figure will be good and Fallout New Vegas (not real money). Sure it is just an addition but it is gambling. And it is inherently manipulative to do something like that. Adding in a possible chance to get some magical super rare figure. One that won't be able to be enjoyed due to it's rarity and would only exist to drive up aftermarket prices. Does that really sound fun. Getting nemesis saber and you'd just worry about ruining it since it's so rare. The negative emotions it would cause far outway the positive. Yes you are right marketing wise it would get them alot more money. And yes that would mean people would buy 2-3 even more of the same thing in hopes they win.

    But is that really good for us. The consumer. Start adding real gambling into transformers..

    I'm not sure if the production of a ML thing would really affect a Transformers thing.

    I think it's more the shipping logistics. I don't think they'd try to do them at the same time. I think they'd ship out one and then the other. And this one of course was always listed as Winter while Galactus was Fall so it stands to reason he will ship before Victory.

    I mean, I don't think it'd really be too difficult for them to ship Galactus in November and then Victory Saber in December.
