6 minutes ago, BaCon said:@God Sunstreaker Just a guess, but the MasterPiece line is Takara's baby. Moreover, I don't like these crowdfunding projects when most fans cannot afford them, It is brutal to have wait through dozens of updates and milestones, and Hasbro Pulse is just awful on so many levels. Sorry to disagree, but make mine Takara.
I agree in premiss, that I don't like the crowd funding.
I meant that if there was a way to guarantee that all the Trainbots would get made and put in an order for all of them, that'd be beneficial. The crowd funding model is the only way Hasbro has set up currently to make this an option
Someone getting some, but not all the bots could be frustrating, it'd frustrate me.
And I also agree that the Takara versions (in general) are better than the Hasbro versions.
So I agree with you on the crowdfunding front, in fact I'll go a step further: when giving this company money, there should be a way to have some say in what's being created and be able to pull the funds if the project goes another way you disagree with.
I'd like to avoid feeling like I need to pick up all the HasLab products. For example, I haven't backed Victory Saber and I probably won't.
I have to wonder with something like this, why wasn't this (or something similar) a HasLab product.
I'd like to pick this up and the rest of the Trainbots. And just thinking things through: I'd be nice to place all of them on pre-order at once.
The next question is: will all of them be produced? Some sort of HasLab should guarantee all the team members are created, and that you'll receive them.
I'll probably pick this up because I'm a sucker for the combiner teams, I just hope the entire team gets created.
Yes! Finally! A train Transformer that's not a Decepticon! Yes!
