Did you go with the included stickers or order Scorp repros? I haven't been able to decide on that part

The Autobots don't get enough credit for their diverse alternative energy initiatives. Wind and hydroelectric in the shot and you'd have to assume some solar is installed in the city

Basically, if the money ain't a big deal and you don't mind the chore, it's a cool set/sword

Yeah it would be a $90 Star Saber that includes a chore and possibly more money to buy helpful tools like a small pin vise. Feels like a lot of dough and effort today, though if they never run the tooling again like the Mini-Cons released in Legacy, etc so far, $90 will be a bargain in a few years

I think that's a heavy price to pay but have no idea if it'll come out through other means, or if it's nicer enough to not just buy the vintage Air Defense Team instead. I can say that I've certainly spent more than $90 on Mini-Con teams before though

Amazon Japan. Total shipping wasn't quite as much as the toy itself but it was close :/

I've noticed this with some older MMC tape dudes and Dr Wu sets lately. Some of these things get *gone* gone, it's wild

Yes, but not so much because it's too burdensome, but instead that there's so much else to play. It is not 1997 anymore, so my library is not constrained by a limited allowance and holidays

I think one contributing factor to this, of several, is the garbage documentation online for identification and content reconciliation of 3P TF stuff. I can't imagine the nightmare it would be to sell off the stuff I have. Just thinking of the rando bonus parts for unrelated toys that MMC includes 🫠

Take a bubble level to it, if it's off adjust feet as needed, they should have screw tops attaching them to the unit. No guarantees but that could be all it needs.

They never filled out 50 to 63 back in the early 00s so I vote we go with something totally nonsensical like 58

Don't be so hard on them. Despite the characters they were inspired by, the G1 style Skids and Screech are pretty cool
