    Such a shame, isn't it? If it were available than I would definitely have one, and optimusfan would probably have several!

    You were. Right up until you said that.
    Now I'll wish for one for the rest of my life. (like I need more of those)

    The Enterprise would be a GREAT Crossover figure.
    But assuming they don't get the licensing or whatever, the T30 Cosmos design would be a great start to be the saucer section and have a figure designed to be just the lower part so they combine as the Enterprise.

    I'd like Megatron to transform into a phaser and the Seekers in Birds of Prey :D 

    In a plot twist Deep Space 9 could transform into Unicron :D

    Spreading the Cosmos Love. I was able to get the metallic Klaatu for $60 at TFCon Chicago, perfect condition except for one missing post on the back of the ship. And I got the Legacy version there, but I overpaid to get him -_-; 20230131_000116.jpg 20230131_002647.jpg 20230426_141926.jpg
    And the NewAge versions just got delivered today from ShowZ

    Yay, Cosmos! It was a sunny day yesterday, and I got Klaatu out to sparkle in a shiny saucery way.

    (Just checking - do you know the trick to pop his head up easily, without needing a tool or getting a bruised thumb?)

    Other than growing out your fingernails and keeping up to date on your Vitamin B7? I always have clicky-top ballpoint pens within reach, they work perfectly

    Ah, no, it's actually easy! Push down on top of his head then press the button. That just needs a regular gentle finger press.

    I hate you...

    Can't find a mint XTB Cosmos for a decent price.

    At this point I think well all did.

    TBF he was in one seller's display case in bot mode, so not exactly "mint" but he's sure as hell flawless.
    I hope you find one for a good price. Maybe XTB will reissue him someday. Or FT could announce they're taking a stab at him, which will mean lots of FansToys Fanboys will sell theirs off.

    But if XTB does put out a reissue, I kinda hope they add an LED effect to his ship mode. Having the flight cone all lit up would be amazing.

    Depending on what you consider "decent"... eBay has a couple listings for Barada between $100-120?

    Got up and dinked around in Photoshop before work this morning

    Found a great price (not counting shipping) on Barada and I'm happy as heck to add him into my collection! I was on the fence about using regular or SG badges, but I think the SG ones look great and make him stand out even more from Klaatu. 20230905_131958.jpg

    I don't normally do recolours but I do see this often and really feel like I should start. That blue.

    I literally chose this deco over the standard Cosmos green because I liked it so much.

    The metallic blue is gorgeous in person. I'm practically broke until my next paycheck but I don't care. It was so worth getting.
    Now to hunt down the blue New Age version....

    My Pathfinder. It's not a problem, you can buy magnet LEDs and place them underneath and you have the effect. I leave you the Aliexpress link

    Probably the most fun X-Transbots figure to transform.
