The big ones would probably oblige for the sake of their relationship and the small ones would probably be scared **** to go up against Hasbro.
william-james88 wrote:Hey guys, after hearing one of the more recent podcasts, I found it interesting how Ryan said encouraging Third Parties was diluting the brand and cause possible severe repercussions down the line. I found this very interesting since I never saw them as that much a threat since they are mainly targeted at collectors who only make a small portion of the Transformers market, and are not competitive in price. With combiner wars doing well and even the one steps doing well on the Seibertron store, I was wondering why Ryan still thought 3rd parties were diluting the franchise and would be it's doom.
I hope I am not exaggerating his words but that is what it sounded like to me and I would love it if he elaborated on that point in a future podcast he is on. Especially since 3rd parties are indeed a current topic due to it's more enforced ban at botcon.

Where does he...
Are you crazy? This guy is sleeping in the bed with me if he has to. If I have to put a whole in my wall in order for him to have a space, I will. I may even need to get a new shelf entirely JUST for Devastator.

You're making my point for me. You don't know where he fits in either & may have to display him alone. I like him too but he will be my third Devestator so it's not as big of an ordeal to me I guess. Sleeping in bed with him is not a possibility in my house as I already share my space with my wife & 14 month old.

Seems I've been lawyered.

He doesn't. I'll be buying the Takara version but as a separate display piece. I would have been over the moon for six deluxes instead of the monstrously out of proportion version this is. I'm a Classics collector and for the most part all the combiners were most commonly the same heights. Especially the toys. Until that happens, Green Giant is my dude. Suppose I'm not actually making my voice heard if I'm buying one, one way or the other though. The only combiner I want to be huge like this is Monstructor. Not only because of IDW but it would just be crazy cool.

I read this as if you were saying it with extreme sarcasm batting your eyes & waving your hands. That's the only way I could make it ok.
