Unboxing: Transformers Compendium Kickstarter Set from Skybound

If you back enough Kickstarter projects, a strange thing starts to happen. Time loses all meaning. Months blur into years. Campaign updates become background noise. Then, one day, a box shows up on your doorstep like a cryptic artifact from a past life. You stare at it. You squint. You ask yourself the same question every veteran backer asks:

What did I order, and when did I order it?

This is usually followed by a brief inventory of past optimism. Was this a board game? An art book? Something I was extremely excited about in 2019 and then completely forgot existed? The confusion lingers just long enough to feel mildly concerning, until the realization hits. Oh right. That Kickstarter.

That was exactly the sensation I had yesterday when my wife told me a very large package had arrived. Large enough to warrant commentary. Large enough to suggest either furniture…or consequences. After a moment of confusion and a quick mental rewind through years of pledges, it clicked. This was not just any fulfillment. This was the long awaited arrival of the massive (and massively successful) Transformers Compendium set from Skybound Entertainment and Image Comics.

Below, you can watch me unbox the entire set, flip through the pages, and get a proper look at what years of patience, funding, and faith in the process finally deliver. If you have ever backed a Kickstarter and forgotten about it, this one is for you.
