I dunno if to call them the worst salesperson ever or the best.
@  PlutoniumBoss : (16 April 2021 - 01:33 PM)

They must not have really wanted to sell you anything.
@  Sabrblade : (16 April 2021 - 09:19 AM)

This just happened to be the first time one ever gave up and walked away immediately after ringing the bell. Like, no patience at all or something.
@  Sabrblade : (16 April 2021 - 09:17 AM)

Covid didn't stop salespeople from coming to my neighborhood. They are still a consistent annoyance.
@  wonko the sane? : (16 April 2021 - 08:16 AM)

Random like "Why does god allow terrible things?" or random like "You can see them too?!?"?
@  Echowarrior : (16 April 2021 - 07:36 AM)

And yet, I still have to deal with random idiots on the street asking me random questions.
@  TM2-Megatron : (15 April 2021 - 04:04 PM)

door to door salesmen (or those offering religion) certainly are one of the things lost to COVID that I've missed the least
@  Sabrblade : (15 April 2021 - 10:07 AM)

They rang the bell and were walking away before I even got to the door mere seconds later.
@  Sabrblade : (15 April 2021 - 10:06 AM)

I just got ding-dong-ditched by a salesperson.

@  Donocropolis : (13 April 2021 - 07:25 AM)

A comic, yes, but we need a figure!
@  Tm_Silverclaw : (13 April 2021 - 06:27 AM)

No.. It's Tiberious Maximus... And there is a comic with such already. :D
@  Donocropolis : (12 April 2021 - 11:15 AM)

Yes. Color it like the Energon version of Unicron. Also, give us Fortress Tiberious.
@  wonko the sane? : (12 April 2021 - 09:49 AM)

Great. Now I want a borg cube unicron...
@  Tm_Silverclaw : (12 April 2021 - 09:00 AM)

We still need Transformers x Star Trek toy.
@  TheMightyMol... : (12 April 2021 - 05:39 AM)

I saw most of them at retail at TRU, but that's not an option in the US anymore.

Dibs on naming the Ark robot Arkonus.
@  Kalidor : (11 April 2021 - 09:48 PM)

The only Titan figure I ever saw at retail was Trypticon at Ollie's
@  PlutoniumBoss : (11 April 2021 - 09:12 PM)

Robosen Prime has market crossover with not just the toy collectors, but robotics enthusiasts quite willing to pay that price for a product like this.
@  wonko the sane? : (11 April 2021 - 08:33 PM)

One of my two local TRUs will stock exactly ONE titan at a time. It usually ends up "clearanced" for about 20 bucks off cause no one is willing to pay for at full price OR discounted.
@  TheMightyMol... : (11 April 2021 - 07:56 PM)

Most stores don't seem to want to stock Commanders or Titans, never mind Unicron.
@  NotVeryKnightly : (11 April 2021 - 07:55 PM)

I wonder if Unicron going to crowdfuning wasn't just a price issue but also stores not wanting to stock and transport something so huge.
@  TM2-Megatron : (11 April 2021 - 07:47 PM)

It is, although this thing could also be considered a STEM educational tool
@  TheMightyMol... : (11 April 2021 - 07:33 PM)

Doesn't change the fact that, for most people, $700 is a pretty hefty investment for a toy.
@  TM2-Megatron : (11 April 2021 - 07:17 PM)

I dunno, $700 doesn't seem that bad for what it does. Some of those Masterpiece figures seem to go for at least half that price, and they don't have any actual robots or even electronics.
@  TheMightyMol... : (11 April 2021 - 05:35 PM)

Not to mention wallet-shattering.
@  LBD "Nyt... : (11 April 2021 - 04:30 PM)

It's a jargon-shattering figure.
@  Kalidor : (10 April 2021 - 08:50 PM)

The licensed Optimus Prime that transforms itself is the appropriate usage of the term "Third Party"
@  Donocropolis : (10 April 2021 - 08:24 AM)

That Optimus isn't built by Hasbro, only licensed. The company that makes it has been making similar robots for years, so no crowdfundng required.
@  NotVeryKnightly : (10 April 2021 - 08:05 AM)

Apparently they're selling one for 74 and a half thousand dollars.
@  wonko the sane? : (10 April 2021 - 08:01 AM)

We could write boston dynamics and ask?
@  NotVeryKnightly : (10 April 2021 - 07:59 AM)

Granted, I'm not sure how much robots with elaborate movement tend to go for.
@  NotVeryKnightly : (10 April 2021 - 07:56 AM)

I think with actual robotics it was easier to justify selling it at a high cost, compared to an unusually large action figure.

Could also be someone casting/3D printing their own. In which case, they'd better hope Games Workshop never find their name.

In my defense, people were eating tide pods awhile back, so I assumed people were drinking rinse water on purpose.

This is why I have use dedicated cup/container just for rinsing paints. Preferably old and/or cheap cups I wouldn't use for drinking anymore. Never had any issues drinking paint water. Though I also keep my water in a thermos and keep any drinking cups away from art projects.

I very frequently use a coffee cup. I never actually end up taking a slurp of paint water expecting coffee, but I frequently have near misses.


Shouldn't gravity be doing something?
 
Of course there's a figure of Rodimus as some kind of animal girl. Why would I be surprised by this?

I don't drink or eat stuff while I'm making something because I don't want to risk spilling the food on it. I take a lunch break instead.

i use a cup with a lid on it so i can differentiate.  i paint a lot of metal and im pretty sure drinking mica flakes wouldn't be healthy in the long run.

So this looks really neat:  https://www.pixels-dice.com/

 

The light-up part isn't groundbreaking or anything, but the ability to tie in via bluetooth to integrate with virtual tabletops like Roll20 means you can use physical dice in your virtual games, and that sounds nice.

This would be brilliant for a setting where wizards cast magic by hacking into the universal source code like they were hacking in an mmo.

 

Hell, make it a form of super advanced magic that's above simply using the magic that's already coded into the setting.

Last year, I bought a Lego set that cost 160 canadian dollars. If I compair what I got with that set to this 40K set, then the price feels about right providing the 40K set has high enough quality.
