Achieving beyond the barriers between Japan and the United States!! Crowdfunding [Hasbro crowdfunding product] Transformers Victory Saber Scheduled to be shipped in the second half of 2022 26950 yen
Perhaps because of the growing popularity of Japanese Transformers overseas, a remake of Victory Saber was realized as a large-scale crowdfunding project led by overseas. The product is in the format of the current Generation “Transformers Legacy”. Transformation. gimmicks, styling, movement, etc. will be updated with modern technology. Cleared the number of orders set as a stretch goal, and comes with a V-lock cannon, a stand, a shield used in the final episode of the anime, and 2 micro Transformers. The package with the Transformers Legacy logo may be proof that the Japanese Transformers is also recognized as one universe.
▼ Attached shield. There is a device on the back that allows you to set weapons.
▲ With the stand and effects attached. The volume of Star Saber is equivalent to Leader class toy, and the volume of Victory Leo is equivalent to Voyager class toy. The size of the V-Rock Cannon also stands out.
▼ Hori (right) and Fire redecos from the Siege Rescue Patrol.
▲ Star Saber and Victory Leo Victory combine to create the “Ultimate Supreme Commander Victory Saber” form. The toy released in 1989 was a masterpiece that became a big hit at the time. It is also worth mentioning that it is a newly developed all-original Japanese Transformer, while it is based on the modification of the master version of Optimus Prime.
Super huge jet mode. The V-Lock Cannon has a different mounting position from the G1 version toy.
A large jet form that combines Saber and V-Star.
▼ Brain of Courage. Despite its extremely small size, Saber’s face is mounted on the back in a folded form, reproducing the gimmick where the face appears when the brain is set.
A small jet that transforms into Saber. Brain fits in the cockpit.
The movable performance of Saber is also outstanding.
Thorough reproduction of the hero of justice, Star Saber!
▲ A shield can be attached to the fire base.
A fire base with a V star can also be reproduced.
The G1 version toy is a flagship item in 1989. Based on the concept of using the Super Ginrai system on an airplane, a mechanism was planned in which a small jet piloted by the Brain Master and a V-Star were combined. In recent years, he has been active in IDW comics, and is a character that has been recognized overseas. In this Generations version, the gimmick is fully reproduced as much as possible. The blade of the Saber Blade is stored in the right leg.
Victory Leo is also born in Generations!!
Armed Knight Victory Leo
The form of God Ginrai reincarnated by the science of Planet V. Even in the Generations version, it transforms into a lion and a jet booster, and is combined with Victory as a power-up part on the backpack and ankle of Star Saber. V-lock cannon can be attached to each part.
▲Lion mode.
▲Jet booster.

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!

Wait, I completely forgot about calling this guy out.
Holy shit… I was right?!?

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
Venomus Rodimus
What improvements? What was wrong with the initial release and is it a cause for worry with mine?
Scubamatics25
So I am curious to anyone who has the VS replacement that has the improved QC is there anything you notice that’s different or that has been improved since the initial release of VS. I’m sure someone has already explained it but I really don’t want to go through all the comments haha
galvatran
Why am I not surprised.

Oddly enough, I’ll want an extra Pipo and Boater to paint as Fixit and Seawatch.. not sure if it’d be easier to buy them from someone who doesn’t want them or get an extra Deathsaurus (which I have on order) and sell off everything but the Micromasters… With the former, I’d have to get someone who will just sell them cheap. The latter I’d probably MAKE money since Deathy would likely sell for higher than what I paid.
vvvTheONEvvv
I'll have a full set of 4 micromasters available when McGriffin arrives… 300 shipped, no lowball offers, I know what I got.
But seriously, I plan on selling both VS and DZ minty-minty at around 600 obo beginning next year… unless a new TFHaslab announces a counterpiece like Liokaiser, (and Landcross could be another 6 bot combiner retool of him), or Road Ceasar.

If you’re willing to pay 220 or 230, just pony up the extra 20 or $30. You can find them for 250 still. They’re not going to get any cheaper. I have an extra one sealed but I am sitting on it until DZ comes out to see if anybody is willing to pay the late fee to jump in on the action.
Crossbonesss
no, usually between 250-300 i think
Foster
No lol
Black Convoy
Totally agree with the new face. I didn't even bother to use it. Looks terrible. My VS has got the Toyhax stickers appied, they are good quality a look even better than the original chrome.
PrimalFury
Is that the going price nowadays?
SPLIT LIP
I quite like the DNA kit. The replacement face is kind of useless, though, and the stickers included are so low quality they scratched just from me applying them.
