Titan Class METROPLEX

[UltraMarginal]

It cost Hasbro $400K to produce. So they are gonna milk this mould for all it's worth you can count on that.

Where did you get that number? just out of curiosity.

Where'd all that money go? Design's worth about $400 including the lunch tab, so that leaves $399,600 for manufacturing and packaging costs?

you're joking right

Somewhere here I think. Az said the same thing here so at least I know I didn't dream it, but I can't seem to find exactly where it stated it.

Yes, albeit sarcastically, i was. Im not a fan of this figure, but each to their own

Did the HK version get cancelled? Robot Kingdom no longer have it available for pre-order/sale.

Maybe they weren't able to get a hold of any stock.

That quote was derived from an on-floor Hasbro Rep at the Toyfair; a pair of blokes I follow on twitter were present as Press, providing live information for a couple of International sites (TFW2005) and they heard the Rep mentioning said figure to a suit, or so he was described , as he is thus far the most expensive tooling they invested in for the line.

So it'd be a fair bet that that they'll be repainting this till the cows come home to recoup their costs

Metrotitan!! The Decepticons need a base too . If they can't produce Trypticon coz it's another huge production due to another mold altogether then might as well make use of this and sell thru retail, instead of going to E hobby where i'ts gonna be cost prohibitive and therefore non profitable for HasTakTom.

I concur with everything you've brought up here Liege, I reckon Metrotitan would be an awesome addition; for me personally though, it'd be a BIG ask to try & find room for three 2ft tall robots.
That said if there were to be a 2ft tall Trypticon produced?, there'd be no justification required for me in such an event - I would simply find/make the room for the giant kaiju bot!

Read the thread but I cant confirm whether this is coming to Aus retail? Since TRU US and Canada has confirmed them. Shipping alone on RK for this huge toy is about $70+
