    So… this probably isnt going to be seen but i just wanted to comment on the whole leader class soundwave thing
    Firstly, when the earthrise soundwave was sold on its own it was $40 U.S.
    Now im not sure what that translates to in canadian dollars (i havent lived there in years) but in the U.S that was around $10 U.S too much for the voyager figure it actually was, which i guess was justified by the micromasters? But kingdom blaster came with eject and was still regular voyager price so…
    Anyway, if you take that questionable $40 U.S price and add the core class rumble to it, (which again is questionable because its a small core class but i wont complain about that) you get a total of around $50 U.S in value.
    U.S leader prices are typically around the $55 dollar range so its not that big of a deal.
    But in my opinion the earthrise soundwave was overvalued from the start.
    Also, the point you made about earthrise soundwave being hard to find is true.
    Its incredibly hard to get an earthrise soundwave.
    However just because something is rare doesnt mean its good.
    Personally i kind of dislike the earthrise soundwave as its just a low effort retool of the siege.
    They didnt even change the arms to remove the landing gear.
    Overall i dont think the leader soundwave is worth it, but it is just my opinion.
    I can see someone being happy with the purchase, but personally im not going to bother.
    EDIT: i just posted this comment and realized how long it is.
    If you actually read this all then congratulations and im sorry.

      @@Bebe_Hippo All excellent points, and don’t apologize for the long comment, I appreciate the effort.
      I recently received my copy of Legacy United Soundwave and think he’s alright, not a masterpiece, but a fine figure. But I can 100% understand why most people don’t like him and see him as a ripoff.
      My point of bringing him up in this video is that I personally think (when taking the absurd aftermarket costs of Earthrise Soundwave, 86 Rumble, and the lack of a modern representation of Buzzsaw into account) that while still being iffy on the price, he is more worth it than the Thundertron pack in my opinion, and the fact that the figure’s I think are a worse deal are being sold for even more than leader price (at least in Canada).
      Thank you for sharing your thoughts on this debate.

      @@parapeyton I do understand that and i was just personally saying that i do not think that earthrise soundwave is worth it
      I do agree with you saying that Legacy thundertron is even less worth it however
      Although i must admit
      Out of all the rocklords calcitron is the one i want most
      Idk why but i just want him so much
      Maybe its the shiny metallic waist, or the fact that i had to paint magneous to get him to look half as good as calcitron does, but i just like his vibe so much more than any of the other rocklords

      @@Bebe_Hippo Fair enough, I’m personally not interested in any of the rock lords, but I’ve heard many people say that Calcitron is the only figure in the set they want, and I can respect that.
      Honestly looking back at my video, I think I treated Calcitron to harshly (I think I wrote that part of the script while still in a blind rage about the price), because I actually kinda prefer him to Magneous. Not enough to buy the set, but enough to admit I was wrong in that regard.

      @misterdarwin 27 дней назад

      Soundwave was a Voyager so $30 at the time. The two cassettes counted for the other $10, which I think is what a two pack of cassettes were going for at the time. They did the same for Netflix Prime, Hotlink, and Undead Seeker, all of which came with two battlemasters. Kind of harder to price this set similarly given that they no longer sell battlemasters separately, but maybe assume half of core class so $6? That would be $6 + $25 + 35 = $66 US. WalMart lists the set for $60US, so a small savings.

    i personally always felt like that Thundertron and the Star Seekers were supposed to originally be in Age of Extinction, seriously take out lockdown from those scenes and picture Thundertron there, plus who wouldn't want to see Optimus Prime fight a Giant Robot Lion Pirate. my only theory as to why they didnt wanna go with that is because it be too familiar to Sentinel Prime from the previous movie

  • @Kaishen021
    @Kaishen021 58 минут назад

    I will be completely honest - this thing pissed me the hell off when it got revealed because I already got the original voyager before this was actually revealed and this version fixes all the issues I had with the original (that being his gold being more of a copper and the uninspired head compared to the original Prime figure). I did actually get this set - because I found it on clearance for like 20 bucks and have been having issues getting the paint I have been trying to use to start customizing figures to stick, meaning I have to basically undo all the work I put into the original which has left it (like all of the random small projects I started) in limbo for MONTHS. Also the blue remold of Magneous just works better in my eyes for some reason.
    The process of buying it was funny though. Around the time TFOne figures were rolled out every Walmart I went to (which included a few on a trip across half the US - north to south not east to west) just stopped carrying leader class figures entirely for the big kid-focused gimmick figures - so I was trying to ring up a leader figure at the self checkout when they haven't had leaders on the shelves since around June or July. According to Walmart, the item did not exist. An employee had to take me up to the service desk and apply the price of the figure as basically a reverse coupon because everything else she tried failed.

    I used to not like the eyepatch, since learning he never had one. But looking at it again, I can headcanon it like MGRR Raiden’s eye cover, which actually had a bajillion tiny cameras. And that gives me at least a little solace. I still don’t get the hook hand though, lest it’s to further push the idea that he is the Davy Jones of the Transformers universe/multiverse.

    I want this, but I REALLY can't justify spending the money for a figure that I want with better colours and a better head sculpt than the first version with a little cassette dude, alongside a blue repaint that I don't want at all.
    If it wasn't the rock truck guy and it was the rock helicopter one, and in better colours and not just "Let's dump one of our blue paint cans on this and call it a day" I'd probably get it, but I don't wanna have to buy this blue rock guy repaint just to get Thundertron with a better paint job.

So many RID15 Decepticons have potential to make really interesting and unique figures.
