Legacy Menasor Gift pack thoughts?

[jtkv]

Hasbro announced the Legacy Menasor Gift pack at SDCC.





This will go on preorder on Aug 1st, on Hasbro Pulse.
Who much do you think it will go for? $200US?
Will it have additional paint decos?

I didn't get the individual figures, so am considering this gift pack... Will existing collectors dump their individual releases?

So what are your thoughts?

Setting aside 200$ US for it is a safe move, since 190$ is the price of the individual bots. It might end up being lower, too, like 180$.

It doesn’t necessarily have more paint apps, they’re just different, more based on the g1 toys. Breakdown also has an extra head.

And no, I don’t think people will be dumping their menasor for this.

Is that the price that was mentioned?


If it is then that would be good, but I worry they might go higher due to being a Pulse exclusive.


Either way it will add more product to the field so it will help keep prices down for a little bit longer. Though this time next year I imagine both versions will be going for a pretty penny over retail.

No idea. AFAIK, no price has been mentioned yet.

I only wonder if Motormaster comes with complimentary yellowing, or do we need to pay extra for that?

This means there will be a Superion, Defensor and Computron set in the future.

They will cost about $400CAD each by the time they are released and factoring inflation.

I will be a sucker and buy them all.

Looks awesome, glad for people who couldn't get the individual bots. Personally though I think it would have been better in the red, G1 retro style packaging, like they did with the TR Headmasters rereleases. But if you're buying to take them out of box then it doesn't matter.

Come on, Hasbro loves us all, it's a tradition for 30 years, free DLC as always.

As they fine-tune these molds to be more and more “there’s only one character this could possibly be”, they got to get their money’s worth out of these molds - so now it’s “show deco” “toy deco” “G2 deco” “shattered *ss”

It’s good cause the figs are getting better
But sometimes you get the 1st go-round, then later they do a better deco and it’s like “well f*ck”

Like I bought Evo leader Skyquake, but I’m keeping him sealed until they (I hope) release that beautiful Euro G1 deco on him, and then I’ll prob sell the Evo cause it’s frankly boring in comparison
