If you collect Marvel Legends do yourself a favor and order one before the time period ends. You either own a cool piece of ML merchandise or you make money off it, I don't see how you lose here.

You are correct.

With the size, articulation, and sculpt work done on this, plus the assembly and logistics, it’s going to be a pretty penny just to put together and ship. Plus Hasbro needs to make money on this with no retailers cushioning the production. These are similar to Super7’s ultimates, and those cost twice the general retail price. Think about what you typically find at retail that are big items,,, they are super hollow, poorly sculpted playsets with minimal articulation, thin walls, and made to break in months.

While yes, Hasbro could “absorb” the costs, they aren’t a charity, and they shouldn’t have to. These are totally luxury items, and Hasbro is doing great value for the price. The cost/value ratio on sentinel is a hell of a lot better than on Unicron.

I’m really interested in seeing the last unlock. Hasbro really did a great intro to haslab marvel!
I’m looking forward to seeing people’s collection pics when this beast comes out next year!
