I think the only SW Lego set I kinda regret not getting was both the Endor set you have pictured and Cloud City as I would have liked to have expanded that set with an additional two-three bottom levels that taper down.  I had that idea well after it was sold out.

I'm serious about finding a Hasbro pulse Unicron that isn't 12k on ebay

Facebook transformers groups - ask there.  I passed on it and now almost wish I would have picked one or two up just to flip.

I’m sitting on the couch right now so otherwise I would link you.

I know one guy in transformers liberated buy and sell sold one recently for $1000.  The other group I recommend is Transformers Trader PX.   I think that is run by the guy who runs GI Joe Trader PX, Rob Ross.  He is a great moderator and decent guy who owns a toy shop.  I’ve done a couple of purchases with him and would never hesitate to do one again if a deal made sense.

They should make a GI Joe transformer that transforms into a tank or something.

I think that this was an idea at one point but Hasbro never followed through with it.  The closest that they got were a couple of SDCC exclusives where they repainted GI Joe vehicles in their Transformers colors.   I had a few of them but sold them a long time ago.

This is what I mean.  They took a GI Joe Skystriker and cast it in white while adding a few parts to simulate a Jetfire in vehicle mode.  They did the same with the VAMP and saying that was Hound and then taking an modern version of the Hiss Tank, mounting a Soundwave type cannon on the top and calling it soundwave.   The figures were always cool because the GI Joe figures were seen as partners and would have the autobot sigil on their arm.  I am now wondering if I want to buy back the Snake Eyes that came with the Jetfire set. 

It was announced last week though that members of the Hasbro Transformers team are going to take the lead on GI Joe toy development so you never know what will happen. https://news.hisstank.com/2021/04/29/john-warden-to-head-g-i-joe-brand-at-hasbro-72789

If they did it would probably be a Hasbro Pulse exclusive of some sort due to the price after tooling.

Geez, Buzz, don't get so excited! What if you're wrong about the provenance of a plastic antenna? Boy, would you have egg on your face then! You'd never live it down!

He was excited because the mic sells for $300 if original. One of the hardest to find GI Joe accessories and there are a lot of knockoffs out there.

Yeah, I know. You see, the joke was that a newb was basically telling him to calm down, and I thought that was silly. Maybe you had to be there.
