    Didn't you know about your condition?

    sometimes, minor conditions aren't diagnosed until later on, especially if it only has little to no impact to your day to day life. Kinda like how the blue and black dress brought up the differences in how some people perceive color.

    So this figure will heal color blindness? Put me down for three copies.

    I'm so torn on this. I want him, but my wallet is saying "NO NEW BOTS", plus I'm running out of display room at the moment, lol. Frankly, though, he looks beautiful and I'm sure he'll be far more affordable than FT's effort, if and when it ever comes out.

    I know what you mean. I have to clear space for this and the new TT Jetfire.

    Selling is painful but necessary. :(

    I would like to say, don't burn your wallet dry. This hobby is certainly great, but this hobby is not that great.

    I would add to this "but if you look closely, I bet you probably have a few figures you could stand to part with to make room, because we all do."

    I agree however the bit is for transformation so it at least has an excuse unlike other figures.

    Take a few figs off, put them back in their box for awhile and rotate them on and off the shelf every so often.

    I mean I don't know about you but I'd sell my transformers before I sold any of the pieces from my kidney collection. I can't even legally talk about the late tax I paid for some of those.

    I prefer, "Do I really need to eat" as we could stand to lose a few pounds after the Holidays.

    I can still see red but on a narrower spectrum than the normal human eye.
    So I didn't really realize it because I can still see the difference between red and green.
    Because it's rare that I have to tell the difference between blue and purple, it goes unnoticed.

    I used to daydream about this. Wondering if I actually saw colors differently than everyone else and would never know because how could you possibly see through someone else’s eyes…

    There's probably some scientific way to test this by breaking the spectrum down to another metric.

    You could look at the color blindness test images and they will tell you what you’re missing.

    Edit: here is a free test online. You can skip the email request at the end.

    Man, that purple is really hard to read even for me.

    Some dark greens look gray to me.

    I'm convinced I'm not the one with the problem though, it's everyone else.

    Woohoo. Now, can we get the person who keeps messing up the colors at XTB to take this test?

    Along with that test XTB needs to have whoever designs stuff to actually transform their figures physically.
