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)

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.

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)

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.

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.
@  Tm_Silverclaw : (10 April 2021 - 05:06 AM)

It is a very impressive display of robotics though.
@  tigerhawk : (10 April 2021 - 04:52 AM)

What were they thinking with that self transforming Optimus? should have been another crowd funder for that price.
@  tigerhawk : (08 April 2021 - 03:33 PM)

I wish they'd rerelease Earthrise Ramjet and Dirge.

Well we still need a thread to watch Mr. Twinpeachment and keep an eye on him. So here's a thread!

I figure a good starting point is his early morning Pardon spree. Link. Highlights are Steve Bannon and Lil Wayne! lol

 

Anyway discuss how this round of pardons will blow up in his face and use this thread for his upcoming trials!

This source said Trump also resonated with cases in which individuals who went to trial got significantly more prison time than co-defendants who cooperated with law enforcement.

"I don't think he likes when people get screwed just because they go to trial," this source said.

I don't think Trump has ever bothered to learn the full ramifications of a pardon.  He probably thinks it's basically the same thing as a Get Out of Jail Free card from Monopoly.

Objection. There might be more money in "standing by her man" as he goes to jail. She can always enjoy her time with the pool boy.

True. I'm not a divorce lawyer (who she surely has on speed dial) so I don't know what her best move would be.

I guess the biggest blow to Drumph right now is that there's just no more coverage. I heard he did a walk of shame but I've not seen any coverage of it. For once in a long time, it's not all about him, or even about him at all. The last gasp of air was about his pardons and now he's just.. gone.

The only ones he has left to yell at are the poor servants at Mar-A-Lago.

Even if we hear more of Trump we won't hear anything from him. His social platforms have been cut off and he can no longer give press conferences. The most we will hear from him are quotes of things he said in the news articles.

At this point, I think he's more likely to build his own than to begin using Parler so he can keep the grift going with all donations going directly to him. rather than letting someone else profit from his presence.

Besides, shifting entirely to parler would solidify the absolute, right wing nutbar status of trump. That's literally the only the people whom use it.
