Robert5000 928 Posted April 9, 2021 Dear god, that is really something! 10 year old me would've lost it had he seen that. 42 year old me is pretty ecstatic by the sight as well. I might actually need this. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
markbt73 5290 Posted April 9, 2021 It's one of those things that I think would be insanely cool for about a day, and then you'd run out of stuff to do with it, and it'd just be a very expensive curio. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No doubt. But just the pleasure of knowing that I have it and that it can actually transform is worth quite a lot Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's one thing to spend hours and hours building and detailing something, run it once or twice to see it in motion, and then keep it safe on the shelf. It's quite another to take something out of a box, mess around with it for a while, and then let it gather dust. One I'm willing to spend the money on, and the other I'm not. But if Hasbro had the guts to offer this as an unassembled kit, that would be a whole other story... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
