While I hate the look of that figure for Armada Optimus Prime, for Clench, it's not so bad.

However I'm not jumping through hoops to try and get this. I really thought we were past shit like this. Make a limited preorder window in which they're made to order for those who preordered and then make another small batch to sell at the con with the leftovers sold after.

I have no interest in fighting with a bunch of scalpers and people with no lives refreshing pages just to try and get one. I have work that day. I'll be on my computer for most of it but that doesn't guarantee that I'll be able to babysit the page and checkout within a two minute window as again, I'll be working.

But that's all beside the point. I heard they're asking like $180 for this. It's literally half of a $220 set. A set that's been released 4 times now. There's no Sparkplug. There's no fully transforming trailer/base/pants. It's just the base robot that may or may not have all the super mode parts and a thin plastic box with some hinges.

I just don't understand how this one company can make reasonably priced figures and unreasonably priced figures at the exact same time that are meant to go together. I have some of their stuff and wish I picked up a few more. But then I look at other things and I would never get them due to the prices. For that matter, I even have one of their exclusives in Wheel Blade. I don't remember that being difficult to get after the fact and it was priced the same as Minerva.  Wheel Blade had only 800 total made and Clench has 700 so there's less to begin with. Maybe Clench won't be difficult to get but the price still stucks from what I heard of it.
