How the hell do they think they'll be able to sell that? It'll be twice the price of a deluxe figure, there's already a repaint of that Blackarachnia mold in the line, and at least the Armada packaging for Side Swipe fooled people into thinking it was halfway decent without the front halves of a car hood for arms...

We don't know that for sure. I mean, yeah, it's possible, but for all we know, they could sell it at the deluxe price.

Which has been out of stock for some time now, with no indication that any more will be available in the near future.

Well Blackarachnia may be out of production, but there seems to be no shortage of the figure where I live. Wal-Mart, K-mart, Target and TRU all have at least two of the universe Blacarachnia. I was surprised to see another epaint so quickly, then again, I guess I shouldn't be surprised... It is Universe.
Come on and wind me up.
every store i go has 5 armada thrusts and 20-45 sideswipes.
not even the kids are fooled by this toy.
and crystal widow looks nice in beast mode,but the robot looks crappy.
i pity the fool who will put this for display!

It doesn't help matters that another Side Swipe repaint will be in a different Battle in a Box set. It's a Decepticon named Treadshot, who's colors look far too similar to Oil Slick.

Lol.. thats kind of funny.. looks like she's giving him the double finger.Originally posted by fort_max
Is it just me, or does the box art make Crystal Widow look like she's giving Oil Slick the finger?
At least in that other set, there is Ultra Magnus. I even admit that I like the repaint of Smokescreen in those pictures from that link.Originally posted by Alpha Trion

But this set does seem redundant. Hasbro seems to be just throwing out more crap to make people not sure of what they want.. or to make collectors spend more money. I'd rather them only have a few toys out, that way I can say I've got em all..

Can somebody explain how Hasbro make collectors spend their money? Surely it's completist wankers who make completist wankers spend their money?
If you feel the need to buy every Transformers figure regardless, you deserve everything you get.

I kinda like the Blackarachnia repaint, but I don't wanna fork out the money for the set. Especially considering that the other part of it is a Side Swipe repaint. Bah!
