WILL DO! If there's anything off my Sales thread you'd be interested in let me know!

I'm planning on selling mine once it comes out, hit me up around that time.

Unfortunately for you, there will be a markup. You may get lucky and someone will sell you one for about the same as it costs, but I doubt it. Goodluck.

Thats what I thought but rn it’s 10:30 pst and if it was supposed to be happening at 10 then it’s already started. Maybe it’s just starting later? I hope so.

Didn't they say in a video they were gonna stream it?
3:50
Q Prime
Honestly who knows, because Hasbro sure doesn't seem to know how to get their act together. Maybe they'll post it on their Youtube later today, but for now we have to hope someone was recording.
JazzAlert13
Ok this genuinely makes me mad. So like… is there going to be a way to view it? Why are the keeping the unboxing away from the people who backed it?
And I thought yesterday’s panel was bad.
Q Prime
No, just like yesterday's panel wasn't.
JazzAlert13
Wait is it not being streamed?
Q Prime
Tell that to the other guy.

I bought one to open/display and one to keep sealed for posterity as my first HasLab purchase*.
Not everyone is in it for the profit.
*I wanted the Rancor, but that went belly up.

Yes, I got a replacement head from them for my Unicron (the faceplate tabs snapped off). It was very painless and free.

Hasbro sends out replacements?
Q Prime
Yeah, for some people buying an extra for another mode is the primary reason. These are not contradictory.
T-Hybrid
Some, yes. Primary reason? Unlikely.
Hasbro bakes in replacements when pricing out these projects, though.
Foster
Or as a backup in case of breakage or QC problems.
Robogeek28
That was my plan initially, but now that I'm out of work and probably putting in for disability, that plan may hafta change.
Jtprime17
Yes, it’s starts at 10 AM PST.
Q Prime
You do know some people may have bought an extra to display the different modes together.
T-Hybrid
Yep. At best you may luck in to someone who got cold feet and needs to unload, but anyone who bought an extra at the time did so explicitly to sell to anyone who didn't get in on the ground floor. And, if past projects are any indication, most will charge at least double the cost. Because they'll want to use the sale of the second to pay off BOTH.
And you know what, that's fine. This isn't a case where scalpers are gobbling up stock. If they didn't buy that second unit, it wouldn't have been made. So they took the risk buying extras and are allowed to charge whatever the market will bear.
