In this review, Gei4Mei lets them come and gets to the heart of what Transformers are all about!
Show Notes:
Releasing on a Tuesday to skip the holiday, hopefully this doesn't effect my viewship lol
I meant to get this out last week but I've still been pretty stressed out recently. New unfortunate developments popping up at home and I have a lot of events upcoming this September, including a wedding.
As I've barely began writing the next official video, I can't say for certain how soon that will come out. I'm playing around with the idea of some less formal reviews for this channel, and otherwise I have some plans and videos for the second channel that I need to get together.
On the topic of this video, something I think I shouldn't have neglected to talk about is the exclusivity of this mold. It got kind of swept aside in favor of this more philosophical route I took, but I don't think it's any less important.
Its incredibly asinine that when Hasbro creates scarcity with these exclusives, but I was originally really confident that Target would keep a healthy stock of these, as they tend to do with all of their exclusive Transformers.
Boy, was I wrong. I've never seen one in store and neither have a lot of fans. In fact, my preorder from Target was delayed come shipping day! Obviously a new Optimus figure is gonna be a big deal, but I was absolutely baffled by how difficult he was becoming to acquire.
Not to mention hearing stories about scalpers from my friends, and it's just pissing me off that Hasbro had the nerve to release this brand new sculpt as scarcely as they did. They apparently didn't learn anything from Cosmos, since he was similarly very hard to find.
It may not be all Hasbro's fault. The way these store deals work is that the retailer actually places the orders for the production of the toys, at least as far as I've heard. So if Optimus is so scarce, it's probably on Target if anything.
But it still makes me angry with Hasbro knowing that they've once again created an artificial problem in the community, and who knows when that mass release version they promised will be released.
