i saw that on an old site dedicated to customizers and the thing was so freakin insnane(some dude in canada had made both a transformable armor trailer for magnus and a dead on balls accurate in size and everything trailer for the MP prime). He wated an ungodly amount for it but im telling you man if i had had the scrip for it i woulda bought it. The site is long since gone since the main guy who ran it died but i thing it merged with another site. still i saw a magnus trailer for the mp magnus and my god it was awesome!!!!

it is an f'ing sweet figure that would never have gotten made if Hasbro wasn't responding to the serious collectors...and people over at tfw2005 are bitching about the paint app (or lack there of) on his face... you can't please everybody all the time, and by "everybody" I mean us...
agreed- and let me put this thought into your head... it'll never happen but there was a thread about a similar armor set for the Masterpiece Ultra Magnus. yeah. a Masterpiece UM with full trailer and armor, and the cab folding up into his chest. yeah. imagine how tight that would be... Man Armor for MP Magnus......Id have to break down and buy that sucka......... |

So today, early this morning I went on a Wal-Mart hunt. As usual I didn't find jack $#!+. I was hoping I'd find at least one of the new vehicles, yeah right. It's already October and retailers still haven't recieved Wave 10. This is just plain ridiculous. I'm sick and tired of finding the same @*%!ing Wave 7 revisions. Now we all know that Wave 10 won't hit pegs 'til they move all these revisions that keep poping up every week. Hasbro definetly is not helping by shipping nothing but revision cases. What pissed me off the most, I checked HTS after my useless hunt. What do I find Wave 10 sold out, WTF!!!
Hasbro has a cash cow on their hands and it seems that they intentionally want the line to fail. Keep sending these revisions that most of us have and they're just gonna clog the pegs. Retailers are gonna see that they are not selling so they'll stop ordering and we are just gonna be $#!+ out of luck and not have Joes, again. I'm not a genius but common sense from Hasbro can save this line and make it more profitable. This line is being kept afloat through us the 'collectors'. I can understand revisions, giving others a chance to catch up on what was in very low quantities at the beginning of the 25th Ann. line. I can understand re-releasing; Wave 1 Flint, Snake-Eyes w/ Timber. W2 Beach-Head, W3 Firefly, W5 Flash, & Snow Job. And of course all of Wave 6. But this constant releases of Wave 7,8, & 9 is just plain stupid especially in the quantities we're getting. Honestly how many of you are sick of seeing Urban Roadblock, Jet Pack Duke, Wild Bill, TF Flint, Python Officer and Cobra Commander? If I could get a dollar for every time I see these figures I could buy Hasbro. I totally understand revisions but you got to put figures people want on the pegs. We always bitch on how hard it is to army build get the B.A.T.s, Snow Serpents, Eels, Para Vipers etc get those on the pegs. Each character should not be produced in exact quantities, army building characters should be produced at least 20% more than named characters. I know there is no way to completely make every collector happy, but Hasbro's got THINK before they do something. Honestly, all these revisions we're getting I would have waited until the holidays or even right before the movie gets released. But uncle Hasbro wants to just focus on the movie line only, then so be it. I for one will be taking a break when the movie line comes out. I just pray that the movie does well, for the sake of the movie toy line. Hopefully after the movie line Hasbro puts more effort into the regular line and stop treating us like idiots. Sorry for the extra long drama but I had to get this off my chest. This pass year I've always back Hasbro thanked them in person for what they have given us but now I'm not as happy as before and I can see why some people thrash Hasbro the way they do. Like I said hopefully things will change... I hate to tell you this but it is actually your (our) fault you see what we are seeing on the shelves is actually what should be out and sought after but since everyone pre-orders, orders online , wants to army build ect, we are ahead of ourselves in the market, it is not a cash cow by no means, they cannot make new sculpts for each figure and each wave it is just not as profitable as you think, for example: designers say "hey I want to make an ice cream soldier that comes with a cool huge skystriker!" so he presents his idea and the hasbro moneymen tell him, okay but it is going to cost 45.00 each to produce so in order to make a profit and so you can keep your job hasbro to sell 100,000 pieces at 50.00 ea. and the last vehicle we produce was the hiss tank @10.00 and it sold 25,000 units so in order to justify the run we have to bump it up to 25,000 @ 200.00 ea. so the market just wont support the item, so no, go back and use your old molds until that mold has made a profit of x then when you meet that quota of x you can make a new figure mold. I hope that all made sense! the same concept works for your army building theory , everytime you buy a b.a.t. you actuually force a bazooka to sit on a shelf, i.e. fills the shelf with figures so when you walk down the isle there is something there. simply put if you want wal-mart to stuff the shelves with new joes, buy every figure you see, keep the reciept and when the new ones get reordered and shelved take your figs you dont want back |
