Via the Hasbro Pulse website, we now have a new update for the HasLab Victory Saber project, that being an actual video review type production for the figure’s prototype:
Join Transformers HasLab Product Designer, Evan, as he takes you through an in-depth look of Victory Saber! On this first engineering sample, you get to see what is perfect, as well as what needs some tweaking before we get our next sample. This is a peek behind the curtain like you’ve never seen!
Update: We have added our usual screencaps gallery focusing in some interesting parts:
- Comparison shots of Star Saber, Victory Leo and Victory Saber next to Earthrise Optimus Prime and Siege Hound for a proper idea of the scale.
- How you can display the blade in toy or cartoon accurate mode.
- Saber (inner robot) has an ab-crunch.
- Brainmaster unit comparison size next to a Titan Master.
- Star Saber right leg has a space to hide the blade.
- The shield can storage both the blade and the gun.
- The sword can connect to Star Saber’s hip for a more samurai look.
- Blast effects in each figure and mode.
- Victory Leo can position his guns in several ways (in the back, holding them in his hands or attached to the forearms).
- Victory Leo can hold the V-cannon in his arm or it can be attached to his hip.
- Victory Saber’s jetpack (formed by Victory Leo) has a port which makes it compatible with other figures. You can attach it to Earthrise Optimus Prime with no problem.
Update 2: Official YouTube mirror of the video added after the jump.
Check it out and let us know your thoughts on the boards!

Should I start posting Victory Saber in the Texas thread to balance things out?

Half sorry to bump a thread after 3ish months, but is anyone looking to buy a Victory Saber set

The first one i got the micromasters legs would fall off more on stakeout while red hot ladder would just fall off the 2nd one i got that was resolved but the star saber and victory leo had massive scratches missing paint and victory leo even had a pube under the gold sticker, not joking. Deathsaurus had no QC issues but i do worry abit about how the plastic will hold up some of the clips cause flexing, not a good sign. They did learn some lessons but they should not be working on a project like this making so many mistakes especially when the figures was priced double what it should have retailed for on top of being fan funded from the get go. I don't see myself collecting too much more beyond what i got sadly, the hobby is far far too costly these days for what we are getting and then the shills push the you should be happy…. Ya Emgo is a good source to get a review and a look at the figure for normal stuff i won't buy until i see a review.

Bump.
After complaining to CS, I got a third copy of VS, this time with the plastic covers over the chest and honestly? I feel like a bull trying to run a china shop.
Star Saber and Victory Leo seem stable enough and I was able to turn VL into a lion without trouble, but I'm crazy nervous about removing Saber from the V-Star. Any advice on how to safely remove him? I really don't want to break something…
UPDATE: I'm following Emgo's Just Transform It video for VS and so far, so good! Also, the sword is improved a lot! I have zero problem switching the blade around and keeping it there!
UPDATE 2, 9:29pm: oh wow, even the micromasters are holding together better.

I'm starting to wonder if I actually did get a replacement copy of VS, because it didn't have that plastic covering the chest. The date code of product in my second copy is 22271, so maybe that's a clue that I got one from the initial batch?
In any case, I'm seriously thinking about cutting my losses and just ask for a refund. Because if my second copy had stress marks in a critical area of Autobot Saber, then how can I expect a third copy to have any fixes?
(Although it's a real disappointment because A, I spent a lot on these two, and B, Deathsaurus should be coming before the end of the year and where's the fun in having a villain if you don't have his nemesis, the hero?)

If yk he's selling it to you at cost you could of just bought it and sold it and solve both of your problems.
I would of just left it at this point lol, noone even knew you saw the last few posts till u replied.
I messaged Eb games today(aussie supplier of DZ) about any updates as autumn(our spring) was now around halfway, They've heard nothing since original release (I got a support guy with one on order so he was pretty up to date I reckon), and are still holding onto December as a likely shipping date. Maybe I'll pull the same crazy shit like last year with Star saber and have him arrive on my birthday!

Well one of the bottom tabs on my VS's sword did break off but that's only because of my carelessness.

I think it was certain figures that had QC issues like having the same left arm in Sabers form or just other small issues. So I actually have two VS and one of them actually had issues with Leo, his lower jaw on mine broke and the sword blade for VS snapped. So I sent my damaged one back and got the replacement one that hasbro sent out about two months back however that one I didn’t open since I left that in box but just wanted to see if anyone who has the replacement copy what was improved
