    Yup! 100%! Going the telescopic route would have affected his over all interface aesthetic. Also, even the OG Vleo had some hollow parts. Of course comparing the oomph and mass to the original is like apples and oranges.

    Gawd the wait is sure a k!ller!:cry 

    Edit: My plastic crack dealer too has an anytime /in transit post of his arrival come November 25 onwards before December 2022 (SEAsia source)

    Write to Hasbro saying you will be emotionally and psychologically damaged permanently if they do not ship out your own personal copy of Starsaber immediately via overnight in the very first batch. The worst they can do is say no!

    So PvP’s critique of the Micromasters came accross as not being completely informed, he mentioned the shield being an unnecessary tier unlock but didn’t mentioned the shield and Micromasters were all one tier. Also didn’t mentioned their names and just that they’re recolors or that they’re also characters from Victory and said they’re both unnecessary. Which is funny as a lot of people were hoping they would be a tier unlock. Otherwise it was a good review and showed everything off

    Hey, so I admittedly haven't watched Victory in a bit, but can Saber/ Star Saber fly in robot mode unassisted by Victory Leo combining with him?

    I want to say yes, but I genuinely can't remember.

    EDIT: I know he has thrusters on his back and feet, so it may be obvious,

    However,

    Soundwave has a shoulder cannon. And only once did he use it in the original show's run.

    Yes Saber can fly without any assistance. His alt mode is a jet. He becomes Star Saber when docking with the V Star platform (becomes a big jet) and as you know can fly in that combined format. All of that is without Victory Leo.

    I just wonder how a haslab skyquake would go, I could imagine, like the whole set of predators jets and they combine with him not sure if it would sell good tho.

    Anyways hope a 3p would make a tail weapon for leo, would probably be the something I would buy

    I want this HasLab SS and VL so bad when it was first announced. Didn’t managed to PO back then. But after seeing PvP review, I’ve decided not to get it. While it seems to be a good solid playable set, it’s lacking things that I appreciate on the MP SS: actual landing gears on both Saber AND the V-Star, the Saber-Brain of Courage face gimmick, the Gunpla-esque construction with very little paint app (less prone to paint scratch), the non-partsforming Star Saber head gimmick.

    Don’t mind the non-existing MP VL (or Simba); Nostalgia made me want to collect it, but the Victory Saber combo translates rather poorly as a toy: the robot just look too tall!

    I think the HasLab SS turned out great! But not the VL. The set should have been a Legacy release.

    Wouldn't count on it. It'll probably be the independent 3D people that make any kind of "upgrades" or whatever, which will have loads of striations and texturing, wrong colors and loose fits.

    I remember having 0 clue had G1 Victory Saber looked like and talking with some about it where they were adamite that it was the coolest thing ever and stuff like putting a lion head on his chest just "genericized" it.
    "Oh so what is it"
    "When they combine he becomes Star Saber's boots"
    "... that's it?"
    "And his travel pack"

    You know it may not be "generic" but it sure is lame.

    I can not say “I’m disappointed”, actually CHPS is well known right now. This is the year 2022, we are not in the 2005 anymore or some years later when some fans got angry trying to defend Hasbro for selling cheap hollow plastic toys.

    Now the cheap hollow plastic syndrome is more extended, and worse with yellow plastic even out of the box. Hasbro’s low quality is worse with every year, CHPS is cheaper with time, less and less fans are still arguing this. It is really hard to say that this low quality doesn’t exist.

    Years ago, when we saw entire main lines affected by CHPS, we were impressed. When CHPS escalated to the so called “Masterpiece” line (this line really needs a new name!), we were impressed and now, are we really impressed with crowdfunding CHPS figures? not really, this is Hasbro we are talking about here, we have to expect a low quality from them.

    And the shadow of the yellowing issue is still over these figures. Not a good idea to support Transformers crowdfunding projects and Hasbro right now is open to many more countries trying to get the minimum support for their low quality projects.

    First of all, you wrote a lot just to say nothing but the usual crap you spew on here constantly.

    Secondly, who's we exactly? Don't presume to speak for all of us and the whole fandom, even if one or two agree with you.

    And finally stop trying to make CHPS a thing, you're only embarrassing yourself more than usual and just looks more like you're complaining about chips but misspelling them.

    No reason they wouldn’t come out with a kit, I could see DNA making a kit easy. Also personally the gap filler stuff in my experience has been pretty good when it’s white. So for Victory Leo’s thighs for example

    Are you sure it is for VS? With my Galactus order I never got a shipping soon notification email. Just the constant address check reminders and then finally an email saying it shipped.

    Pretty sure the address confirmation is what they're talking about.

    I feel like this is more embarrassing than the Haslab having hollow forearms. Since it’s a 3P mp styled figure that has less restraints than Hasbro.
