    Welcome to the internet, where we're free to shit on anything and everything we want. We're also free to shit on the people that started the shitting in the first place. It's a big circle of shit.

    It's both a blessing and a curse, and it's not going to stop anytime soon.

    Like for example, if.. Someone.. knew who Dr Wu was and say could pass along some ideas.. depending on the size of this puppy if it were to say be hinged and open like a clam shell and had a little stand it would make some hella accessory storage.. you know if someone could drop off the hint.:wink: :wink:

    I do agree that THIS particular situation warranted more patience. I'm thinking this could end up being a small part of something large and awesome.

    The difference being that this Dr. Wu.... he didn't actually ASK for our opinion :)  When I post a new sticker set, it's for the purpose of getting reactions, so at that point all the heckling in the world is appropriate and appreciated.

    Also, as a separate point, I tend to be into the things nobody else wants, so we should be careful when calling something useless or unwanted. You never know what others might value. So while it might be a poor business choice, we don't know Dr. Wu's motivations... may not be for money, as is often the case when I make custom stickers. Sure, I'll release it for sale because I produced it, but I often know very well I will lose money on a particular set that I made simply because I wanted to see it made.

    A bump with an update, God bless you Scaleface.

    I'm a sucker for these little items like the BW Golden disks. I passed on the Dr. Wu faces but I may bite on the eye.

    I don't think anybody here is nerdraging except for you, bro. The rest of us are just making fun of this thing.

    I do have to wonder, though, what the hell were they thinking...? Uh... I guess there's gotta be at least one guy out there who would be interested in this.

    Maybe they were thinking "Some people may by it." It's a cute and cheap prop from a TV show.

    I hope they make a Quintesson Journal, a Transforming Cog, an Ultimate Weapon, and anything else that they can think of too.

    The pic with Scourge just convinced me to buy it.

    If you don't like it, don't buy it.

    I do, so I will.

    I realize I'm in the minority here, but I actually kinda like this, if only becuase it's from one of my favorite episodes, BUT what I'd really like to see this as would be part of a set-a Trypticon's eye with it, maybe a transformation cog, etc.
    While I'm not sure if I'd get it solo (on the fence, really, it does look cool in these pics and I'd hope for a reasonable price), if it were with two or three other items at a decent price I would-it's an element from a really good episode and nicely scaled to the classics

    Me, I am all for the obscure little accessories! Look at the Star Wars figs, tho they got a little ridiculous, you could recreate ANY scene ever with the toys. I may not buy this but I certainly dig it.

    This is just stupid. These add-ons are just going in circles of nonsense. There's so much they could be doing to enhance, say, BW figures or Animated figures and they do this.

    See, I think this as an accessory is pretty cool, (that was one of my favorite episodes in 3rd grade) the problem is selling this by itself is just stupid. Look at the majority of the comments, everyone is rippping on it. Now say, if they released this, WITH the Ravage guns and the Hound gun, and maybe some other accessory as a "pack" like they used to do with the old Gi Joe replacement guns, then that'd be something I would buy.

    I am SOLD. I just wish it was in a two pack with Metroplex's transforming cog.

    Yes. You're right. With something else it's okay. Alone it's pointess and dumb. That's like if they sold all the pieces of the Unicron.com Animated pack seperate. Well, not even that because all those parts were story-essential things, not one-episode random eyes.
