It looks like a Pretender alt mode.

I bet we could get a lot of Pretender repaints out of the Weaponizers, if more people cared about the inner Pretender robots.
Rather than the outer shells?

Then why aren't all the sets the same price?

Core Starscream is $5 while the ark is $65. Surely they could have just had less sheets for the Ark and sold the set for cheaper overall.
You know, I've never even considered this as a suggestion, but it would make a world of difference to me if they gave the option of just ordering, say, 1 sheet out of a 2-sheet set.

I mean... If you really only want one Core Starscream worth of stickers for something the size of the Ark I guess I can't really debate that.

What drew me to Reprolabels initially was the quality of their G1 sticker sheet replicas. In the 90s, I ordered from them quite a bit as I completed more and more of my G1 collection. As time went on and the Transformers brand branched out and offered more, so did their company; it makes sense. Increasingly though, it felt to me that a lot of the sets on offer seemed to exist solely to justify a price point, rather than to truly fulfill a deco need.

I still do enjoy buying from them on occasion, because they really do make nice-quality stuff (for instance, I like that they are doing some weapons and dioramas). But as Undead Scottsman and G.B. Blackrock have said, it would be nice if there were more options available - particularly with the larger sticker sets. For me at least, it would feel less "blatantly cash-grabby" if sets that already contain multiple sheets could be purchased separately. It probably isn't too likely to happen, but I think that there may be a segment of the market who would benefit from being able to buy partial / scaled back sheets.

The argument was whether or not "less stickers" means "less money" and someone was disputing that, but we can see sticker packs that run the gamet on Toyhax, they didn't NEED to put out a $65 pack of stickers for the Ark; they have sticker packs available for less, I'm seeing packs ranging from 5,10,15, 25 and 35 bucks. I think they could have easily gotten away with $35 worth of stickers for the Ark.

Yeah, that's where I am, too. I would love a 1-2 sheet set for the Ark that adds some details to the ship mode, helps visually sell the scale of the thing, but I don't want to buy a $65, 9-sheet set. I'm never going to want to cover transparent windows with a sticker, for instance.

It would be nice if they offered those in like 2 or 3 different themed packs, so that you could buy "Set A" to add spaceship outer details, "Set B" to add internal details and Mainframe/Teletraan details, and "Set C" for robot mode details. Buy all three sets together and save $5 or something.

yeah, count me in the "Priced Out" category.

I dug out my GoBots Command Center from childhood and it's not in too bad shape except for the stickers that are fairly ratty. I looked up the Toyhax replacement.

I want them but $40 is SO MUCH to pay for Stickers...

ZacWilliam, you can still get a decent sized actuall toy for that so dropping it on Sticky paper is a tough sell.

Since this feels like the "General Generations" Thread, I saw couple odd things to report:
Hasbro Pulse has restocked Transformers WFC Siege Optimus Prime. The Voyager one. I don't know why Hasbro felt it necessary to rerun that figure, as I can't imagine that there would be enough inventory from nearly 5 years ago to bother putting up for sale. I'm tempted to order one on the off chance it's a new run that omits the dirt deco.

And at my local Walgreens, after not having deluxe Transformers for the last couple years, they suddenly put out... SIX Red Alerts. Minty fresh. I don't know if it's a Walgreens distribution sucks or my local store sucks at putting out stuff they got years ago. Keep in mind Minerva still seems rare and Medix is on tap for the fall.

The Walgreens locations in my area got Red Alert about a month after Minerva was no longer available on their website.

It might of been left over stock that they came across, after all the Vrius did throw a lot of things into chaos and Optimus prime is likely one of the most mass produced figures as he is so popular and being one of the main faces of the brand its self

What Zac said; the one with the unique pick axe is supposedly the real one.

The first one is a customization of a headless prototype.

Got notice from BBTS that Armada Prime is in stock and ready to ship. Pretty quick for a toy that was revealed only a month ago.

Feels wrong to ship him while still waiting for Armada Megs but he's not expected until August...
