There have been a lot of negative reactions to this figure because it's priced as a leader, but is the size and engineered like voyager. And Astrotrain before it was a bit of a shelf-warmer, so...

It was perfect!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Everything was there, still sealed and great!!! Whew!


I was also surprised that the throne/chair is a darker purple than what we see in the pictures. I was expecting a bit lighter colour, but instead it is a bit darker purple. Still looks great though.

So Leaders are like blind boxes.

Yep, consigning us all to the QC lottery

But the same could be said for amazon exclusives
You don?t know until they arrive, whether or not the face has sh*tty paint QA, scratches, etc
So you end up replacing it, and/or buying another copy & returning the worst one

Just remember guys I was talking about buying a $34 Coronation Starscream from the site which just happened to show up. When I ordered it was the only one (wouldn't let me order 2 as not enough stock).


So in my usual paranoia I was worried that it was some kind of return, with the possibility of a figure swap to boot.


That is why I was so relieved when it arrived and it was legit.

With people saying how the Motormaster box has space for the limbs, makes me wonder if that was deliberate to do future releases that include all the car bots. Which further makes me wonder... G2 Menasor sold as a set?

It wouldn't surprise me but I think people are trying too hard to give hasbro the benefit of the doubt here.

The box is the size it is because that's basically the size Commander class has been. In fairness rodimus Prime didn't take up a heck of a lot of space in his box either.

I laughed that after all this time there are still people convincing themselves that Siege was a measurable or objective drastic jumping quality that justified the price increases.

I just returned a laser Optimus prime to my local Walmart.

All 3 sides of tape intact.

The lady cut all 3 pieces of tape, barely looked in the box and then gave me my refund.

I asked why they'd open it if sealed and what they'd do with a now open toy.

The response

It doesn't matter, well claim it.

I was kinda blown away.

Sooo... Are they just trashing returns?

But if you had opened the box, they wouldn't accept the return. Totally logical.

I'm constantly getting emails from walmart about updates of my Cosmos order. But it's the same update since I ordered.
