No, he's just old.

I think he might have had a stroke...

Phrasing!

NEED

BEAST GENERAL

I dunno if to call them the worst salesperson ever or the best.

They must not have really wanted to sell you anything.

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.

Covid didn't stop salespeople from coming to my neighborhood. They are still a consistent annoyance.

Random like "Why does god allow terrible things?" or random like "You can see them too?!?"?

And yet, I still have to deal with random idiots on the street asking me random questions.

door to door salesmen (or those offering religion) certainly are one of the things lost to COVID that I've missed the least

They rang the bell and were walking away before I even got to the door mere seconds later.

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

Sure he's a peeping tom but every single Scottish person does it!

Groundskeeper Wheelie say you're going to taste my rake today!

"If elected mayor, me first act will be ta KILL THA WHOLE LOT 'A YA, AND.......I know it's on!"

Campaign slogan? "Its Willie time!"

I'd vote for Groundskeeper Wullie.

A comic, yes, but we need a figure!

No.. It's Tiberious Maximus... And there is a comic with such already.

Yes. Color it like the Energon version of Unicron. Also, give us Fortress Tiberious.

Great. Now I want a borg cube unicron...

We still need Transformers x Star Trek toy.

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.

The only Titan figure I ever saw at retail was Trypticon at Ollie's

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.

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.

Most stores don't seem to want to stock Commanders or Titans, never mind Unicron.

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.

It is, although this thing could also be considered a STEM educational tool

Doesn't change the fact that, for most people, $700 is a pretty hefty investment for a toy.

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.

Not to mention wallet-shattering.

It's a jargon-shattering figure.

The licensed Optimus Prime that transforms itself is the appropriate usage of the term "Third Party"

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.

Apparently they're selling one for 74 and a half thousand dollars.

We could write boston dynamics and ask?

Granted, I'm not sure how much robots with elaborate movement tend to go for.

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

It is a very impressive display of robotics though.

What were they thinking with that self transforming Optimus? should have been another crowd funder for that price.

I wish they'd rerelease Earthrise Ramjet and Dirge.
