$700 Self Transforming Optimus Prime Toy

This isn't new, there have been a few videos of the prototype in various stages for the last year. They've got balls selling this for $700 literally a week after shipping out their $770 Unicron they had to crowdfund (three times) in order to cover development costs.

I am a hardcore Transformers collector. I have over 500 figures, including an entire 1984 - 1987 collection with some very uncommon variants. I have no desire to buy this figure, even if it was $50. That should tell you something.

I feel like I got all the novelty out of this neat thing by watching the video, so if I'm gonna spend $700 on a Transformer, I'd just get a boxed G1 Optimus Prime! But the market for this is probably people looking to add more fancy crap to their entire room full of G1 transformers.

That's what I was thinking, assuming a boxed G1 Optimus Prime isn't thousands of dollars.

Thats what stopped me too. If I am gonna spend 700$, it would need to be an actual collectible, likely to rise in value. 
 

I want to give real nerds actual boners, not give normies nerd boners
