"Something besides Bumblebee" is a pretty broad category to label as "catering to the adult fans".


...Erm, what's the point of bringing up all these statistics, again? We know both the kids and the collectors each make up a good chunk of the buying percentage. Generations (flippin' STRAXUS), re-releasing FE, conventions, etc. prove Hasbro cares enough about our dollars that they're willing to throw us some bones; all the while these are very much still children's toys and not adult collectibles. I don't see a point in pinning down the exact numbers.

Yes Bumblebees are everywhere nowadays (which was inevitable following a BB-centric movie trilogy), but look at FoC. NO BUMBLEBEES. The re-release of FE doesn't seem to be including BB, either. Hasbro is making strides to lower the number of Bumblebees.

Am i happy? Not really. Sizes are shrinking. Distribution is shitty at best. Too many of the 'Bees, too many odd toys like those damned bot shots. I'm spending more on MLP than Hasbro TF toys!
Not caring about scale since 1984. Just like Hasbro.

My reviews of Transformers G1, one episode at a time. Stop by for a spell!

I think they were probably talking about that stupid NYCC exclusive 'G1 deco' Arcee... :roll:

You think wrong then. The Hasbro panel at Botcon was blatantly asked about a Classics Arcee. Aaron Archer's response was that Prime Arcee IS the same Arcee to them. Roll your eyes at me, feh! Feh I say!

Even if she's the same character in their eyes, surely someone realizes that she looks nothing like the Arcee from the movie and seasons 3-4 of the TV show that everybody wants. I think they're just afraid that a pink and white Transformer won't sell.

We're dealing with mostly little boys here, at their age, would you be caught dead with a pink toy?
Top 5 Priorities:

1) BW Neo X-7 Elphaorpha
2) BW II VS-18 Powerhug vs. Autocrusher
3) Universe 2003 Night Slash Cheetor
4) RiD Landfill (regular, not the yellow)
5) BW Convobat (red) & Megalligator (purple)

Also looking for any clear Arms Microns, like Shadow (Gora & R.A.), Hellflame and Shining (O.P. and R.A.).

Preparing to move to the US!

Most little boys won't want to be caught dead with a toy that is a girl to begin with.

Hell no. I didn't mean that as though it was surprising, it's just kinda unfortunate. At least there's Animated Arcee, she looks a lot like G1 Arcee. Botcon needs to redeco/retool her into G1 Arcee.

When I was a kid, my Brother and I had My Little Pony figures.

We'd wash and brush their hair...

Then have MLP death battles.

Haters gonna hate. >:oP
