Re: The Chaos Cometh ? Unicron Crowdfunding Has 3 Days Left!
I've been really on the fence about this...
Armada Unicron was something that got me back into Transformers. I grew up in the 80's and had always wanted a Unicron figure.
This is more detailed, larger, better alt mode, etc and I should love it, but I don't. I guess it's a lot of little things. I can afford it, but it still seems excessive. The size is just going to make it hard to find a spot for or move around or mess around with.
I'm finding more and more these days that I like the "toys" more than the "collectible" side of Transformers. For example my main part of my collection is CHUG/Seige/etc and I find I'm selling off most masterpieces. I'm only currently buying Beast Wars masterpieces as they come out.
I know I should like the masterpieces more than common figures, but I don't. It's almost like they've gone too far in terms of everything - engineering, price, size, details, etc. It's weird that something could be "too good" at what it is so you don't like it much anymore. I think MP Soundwave may have been the best balance of things for me.
BTW - this is coming from someone who owns a Prime 1 Beast Wars Megatron statue. So it's not that I'm adverse to overspending occasionally.
I'm super-interested to see where this crowd funding ends. I really don't know if it will fund or not.
Like I said, I don't feel that I want it, but a part of me has that fear of missing out if it does fund and is amazing. I think, though, I'll resist.
