“I’m so rare no one even knew I existed until today!”
Well well well. Thanks to my old pal Blue Boost for nefariously sneaking a photo of our private little Megatron treasure into a TFw2005 news post yesterday. He’s stirred the pot and now would-be movie collectors are salivating over his unreleased ROTF Voyager Megatron from the ill-fated “Megatron Rising” giftset. I decided to share this photo of my version, which has been actually out on my table recently amongst other Megatrons.
Bask in the glory of what could’ve been. Officially, the giftset was revealed at SDCC 2010 but none of the giftsets saw the light of day, except Ravage infiltration giftset which did appear in the UK in limited numbers.
Getting ahold of figures like this is no laughing matter. You usually get one chance and you must strike immediately. Boost and I got these off of Ebay from a seller than typically has sample toys. Apparently this giftset was very near final production before it was pulled. Perhaps a warehouse does exist full of packaged pieces… we may never know!
More like Megatron falling… amirite?
Strange enough, while writing this quick article I found a place online that has listings for this Megatron (sold out) as well as the individual legends class constructicons. The red scrapper in particular is interesting. But are $235 per legend, they may be the most expensive legends of all time! Happy hunting Collecticons.
