Shame Hasbro doesn't seem to care about fans when it comes to artificial scarcity and exclusives. I guess they get big bucks from companies and/or have done some financial calculations to see how to best leverage FOMO to maximize profits.

I think I'm just really irked right now at the target exclusive Buzzworthy Bumblebee Rise Of The Beast Optimus Prime's lack of availability.

I get it…
NF Bumblebee was the same for me. But I never found him at all, and I spent a very substantial amount of time looking.
To think that version, with an official VW alt mode was an exclusive.
Fingers crossed the new SS86 version is even better.

Is there a SS86 Bumblebee in the works? I'm really hoping BB 102 Optimus gets reissued as a Studio Series... I mean, what's your time and gas worth? Might just be easier to pay the money and buy whatever on eBay... violates our principle, but I'm getting to the point in life where I'm mostly fine paying to save time and frustration. /shrugs.

That’s one I’m not sure why it’s an exclusive.

No one is going to care about your "MISB Legacy Decepticon Motormaster" in 20 years time. You will not win the jackpot by keeping it in pristine condition and selling it of in 20 years time.
You buy these figures for yourself and for your child. Sometimes they break, but in my experience that makes these toys more clearly my possession.
Mkdlmr wrote:What are your thoughts on having backup copies of figures? You know, the whole "one to rock and one to stock"?
My kid plays with them as well which is why I'm concerned. He hasn't broken any, but the have been some minor paint scratches. Am I just wasting money that could be better spent on other figures?
Example: I really like my Buzzworthy 102 Optimus Prime, but I only have the one I got from Target. I could eBay a second one, but at the asking prices I could get Legacy Armada Prime or maybe more... Decisions, decisions...
Thanks in advance!
