What could tiers 2 and 3 be? The other two members of the Rescue Patrol? Probably the kid, Jan (?) is one of them, but the other?

An IDW-related reward at one of the higher tiers would be an interesting twist, and also hilarious. They won't do it, of course, but I'd love that.
Still undecided on this. It's certainly more tempting since it's "only" £180 (what have we become...?) - I was expecting them to add on extras that would somehow push the price up to £400. But it's still £180, and I do already have the Robot Masters Victory Saber and the Masterpiece Star Saber. From my experience with the Robot Masters version of the figure Victory Leo isn't that exciting, so I don't know if I really need one in my life. BUT neither of my other Sabers scale properly with any of my other figures, and MP Saber could be a little more poseable. Also this one has a semi-decent Brainmaster gimmick. Decisions, decisions...

Is there a certain teir we can achieve where they take the effects blasts away? For a Tier unlock I would have wanted new Blast Effects, but these are the same ones again

I just cannot be fucked with blast effects. Bring back firing missiles, you bastards.

I don't mind blast effects, but they're not an enticing reward tier.

This is where Pinwig starts to see displays in his head and regrets passing on certain toys.

If you change your mind, it will be easy to offload. It's cheaper than a good condition vintage Victory Saber. You can cast parts. You get to be part of the cool gang. Earn the respect of all your friends. -Ralph

I'm wondering with this one if enough people buy two thinking they can flip one at double the price and get theirs free that it actually dips in price on the secondary market for a while when it comes out.

It's hard to tell what it'll do immediately, but I think in the long run this one is all but guarenteed to be a high roller.
Unlike Unicron, it's unlikely hasbro will do another one for a long time. There also really haven't been any alternatives, either. No 3Ps have touched these two, and Takara's MP has been less than popular, and doesn't have the lion.
So there might be a dip in the near term, but I don't think it'll last in the long term. Unicron meanwhile I think will maintain it's second hand price indefinitely (people just can't justify it if it goes higher), and probably crash when Hasbro inevitably announces the next Unicron.

Ive bought two, but they’re both for me. That said, there are 3p offerings, KFC Simba is good. PlanetX did an IDW Star Saber and are working on a Leo. Iron Trans Star Saber is supposed to be pretty fantastic so you can probably expect a Leo there too

I just cannot be fucked with blast effects. Bring back firing missiles, you bastards. Blast effects are great if you're in the business of taking toy photos, but if you want to actually, y'know, play with your toys (which is what they're for, after all) then firing missiles are really what's needed. Arguably Victory Saber is more a "collectors' item", but all the same...

Blast effects are useless. They don't 'plug in' very securely so you touch a toy and they fall off. Pointless. Mine got chucked.

I'd be buying two just so I can have VS on display as well as the lads on their own and have spoken to a few folks who are harbouring similar thoughts.
I don't see the same pull for flippers that were was with a Unicron, as the toy is a third of the cost of Unicron so not a massive outlay by modern TF standards which did put off a lot of TF fans from committing to the big U.

Yep, that's my plan for getting one. (Joking! I'm joking- barely know who this guy is. Brainmaster, right? EDIT: Star Sabre. He's a thing. There was a MP Star Sabre. What's the difference between Victor and Star? ...I really should watch that DVD Pinwig sent me. I watched a bit of it. And got confused.)

Is that base of the original mode official?
Also, aren't these modern iterations meant to resolve issues with the originals? In which case HIDE THE VISIBLE HEAD IN ALT MODE.
That said, I'd be all over this if I was still collecting anything other than MP or didn't have the MP version.
