Last weekend I was taking pics of stuff to sell on eBay, and packaged up Exgraver as I had decided not to go after Hercules after all. I took the pics, and was loading them onto my computer when I saw his picture and couldn't pull the trigger.
Today, I am seriously contemplating catching up on all the Herc guys after all, even though it will ultimately be $600+.
I've never gone back and forth so much over a collectible (though this feels more toy than collectible I guess). I would pay this much for a great Rainman custom in a second if it were the right character, but these are reasonably mass produced and are just don't feel anywhere near worth the price. But having said all that:
Damn. Apart from the original 3 Seekers, Soundwave/tapes, and Megatron, this is really the only essential Decepticon to my mind. He looks awesome, he has all the different display options, and I doubt very seriously we'll ever get a better version of him as a toy. Tough decision. . .
Yeah right. I think it comes in waves. Sometimes I'm in a 1/6th scale mood, sometimes it's LEGO, other times it's TFormers. I will say 1/6th is not really doing it for me like it used to.
