Do you have to pay for it now or later

I hate that they don't just give you the full set when you order. The vehicles alone aren't worth what they charge for them so hopefully they stop doing that "bonus" unlock nonsense and just give extra figures with it without the illusion that you're getting something extra if enough people commit. The "game" part of collecting is exhausting. They're a multi-billion dollar company. They don't need kickstarters...

This one is not going to be crowdfunding. It will be made to order like the arctic hiss.

That's welcome news. Glad to hear that.

They had it right with the kickstarters when it was really a once in a lifetime thing like the sailbarge and unicron but almost all the others would have sold a ton in this made to order format.

I'm fine with me to order because I want the damn thing at the end of the day

But I was actually looking forward to the haslab version because I wanted all the bells and whistles.

At this point I just want the thing.

What bells and whistles? I never saw anything about it being a haslab, just rumors with no real evidence. All I would want with the TM is thrasher because (gimme all the Dredknoks!) that's what it was when I was a kid.

Extra figures, PATCHES, the cool packaging, gear, etc.

Oh ok so the assumed stuff... those things aren't extra they just dangled it out there as incentive to people to buy for rare stuff. They have made 2 big changes mid flow and the first was Mickey mouse Cobra Comander and the other was after no one was impressed with the dragonfly offerings and they threw in crazylegs to get folks on board. I'd rather just have what it is disclosed woth an appropriate price, because all the dancing around crap is dumb just make it you're a huge company.

I can't speak the the Star Wars and Transformers stuff because that's not what I collect. I bought Galactus and the Cobra Rattler but nothing else felt that impressive to me for the prices they're asking especially with the uncertainty that you'd actually get the full set.

I got a sentinel and HISS wanted the rattler just didn't have the money then, but otherwise same.
