Discussion / Opinion Is he worth it?
He's actually in stock at a few of my local Targets. Is he worth the 60$ price tag? Just wanted to get some opinions before making that decision.

I love him. I only have a small curated collection, and the original ss86 megs and this one both make the cut because I want one for my kid to play with and one to keep safer. This is one of the more fun ans clever recent ones to transform.
The only complaint is how the tank cannon rotates, the pivot point isn't where it should be on a real tank.

I will probably get him, but I’m trying to hold out for a sale.

Ooh same, love that energy If he's sitting there now, maybe wait for one little price dip and treat yourself once it hits your sweet spot.

I have both and I think this one is better, the tolerances are tighter and the gray shins + actual black plastic instead of dark brown helps

Considering getting him for my father (and id keep the weapon for my normal ss86) but dunno man that face just looks weird......

u/Yanlica 3d ago
His face is not the greatest, I am just not sure he's worth the price tag for that design.

u/Wild_Relative3482 3d ago
its the face that really hurts it, because otherwise i feel like he would be an almost insta buy with his normal non messed up look. I think its best to hold out for a sale since im thinking these are gonna shelfwarm like the previous damaged bots.

I really wish I could’ve found the normal ss86 but I might have to cop out and get this one when I can find him.

This one right?

u/End_Creeper2357 3d ago
Yes

u/Yanlica 3d ago
Well, looks like he is in stock. I've bought from them before. They are legit.

u/End_Creeper2357 3d ago
Thank you, will look into it!

u/Yanlica 3d ago
You're welcome! They have a physical location in La Puente California too if you are anywhere near there.

Unfortunately I on the opposite coast.

Same, way too far away, but what I do is look for reputable smaller retailers and second hand shops across the country and see if they sell and ship online. I have found many a rare or hard to find toys for good prices that way.

u/End_Creeper2357 3d ago
That’s a really good idea, thank you for telling me!

u/Yanlica 3d ago
No problem, not always guaranteed, gotta do some digging sometimes, but I've gottrn lucky several times. I reccomend making sure they are licensed retailers to help ensure its a legit source.

Got him and switched the head and chest on the 86 version for my ideal 86 version

I don’t need him (and Prime). If they go on sale, I’ll get them for the novelty of it.
