    Some people aren't happy that Star Saber isn't a giant compared to regular G1 figures as Victory scale was insane. Then Victory Leo had to be made smaller than Star Saber to make the combined mode more stable which I personally think is a fine sacrifice. That 3P VL that combines with MP Star Saber is the same height as it but the VS mode is super unbalanced because of it. Even the combined alt mode looks off with that 3P VL.

    I just think the concept of "perfect scale" needs to be thrown out the window for figures past Leader size. Some characters are just too big at various sizes that won't really fit Commander or Titan budgets. Like Sky Lynx is technically supposed to be almost Titan size to go up against Predaking but the ER Commander is not near that but who cares? It is an awesome figure none the less.

    Star Convoy is 145 feet tall and still turns into a truck. I despise the JG1 scaling, so redoing it for chug is a GODSEND

    I agree JG1 scale is ridiculous

    I’m fine with Star Saber being smaller. At the very least he’s still bigger than the typical bot but not to a ridiculous degree.

    I still hope we get a commander Star Convoy someday tho

    This isn't a surprise. They established this in the beginning days of the campaign.

    the sticker both bother and don't bother me b/c
    1. they are stickers and I don't know how good the lates stickers from hasbro have been
    2. I thnk this wasn't a bugitary thing as only 2 paintaps where cut and both of them where the inner half of the strips and the stickers had to cost them more then painting them leading me to believe that thier was an issue painting thoose parts and this was the best the design team could do.
    3. I'm gunna f-up putting them on

    Dat salt vein going strong a year later about Star Saber being Haslab. I wonder if Deathsaurus will yield such succulent seasoning too.

    Oh yah, I know. I was about one paycheck late to the game.

    I'll survive though, I like all the weird stuff more.

    I may have to acquire one of these in the future. Bummer that I didn't go in last year.

    OK guys, a not-so-friendly reminder to stay on topic and keep discussion without personal arguments. Thread cleaned a bit.

    THANKS!

    Also I’ll be honest I don’t think the wings would be super terrible without them applied. I feel like some are kinda blowing it out of proportion since it is just like two stickers.

    I would be mad if there were multiple stickers or if there where some for Star Saber. Since I don’t really care about Victory Leo it’s not as bad to me.

    They probably did splurge with paint. Heck, they even did chrome

    That is true, and same here my hands are a little shaky and also if I don’t get the sticker perfect it bugs me (why I don’t do ToyHax or put logos on my 3p stuff really).
