Sad reality of troop building .
Is it just me or is troop building like vehicons is really impossible as far as aquiring them for a normal price.
its not just transformers but in other toy lines in general.
such as stormtroopers, cobra troopers. They seem to be rare than the main characters.
and in hot toys those chituari are as expensive as avengers. its just not realistic to troop build cheaply.

I really don't know how the people that do it actually do it. It's so damned expensive and you end up with so many of the same figure. I can understand if you do a special ops or recon style group of 4-8 guys on display, but imagine all the great toys a person could buy instead if they didn't troop build.

They should just release an economy sculpted version of storm troopers that don't move but are in a fixed "standing at attention" pose for like four bucks a piece. Them people could do hangar bay scenes etc. much cheaper.

I would just make a mold and resin cast them.
I can make you a reusable mold for a fee if you are interested.
I've been "helping" out the table top gamers at our local game shop who face the same problem.

I don't know, last year Aldi had all kinds of Vehicons (along with Arachnid, Knockout, and Dead End) for $6 or $7, could have driven around and picked up a bunch if so inclined.
