But there are plenty of Transformers that I want that are to expensive. A lot of the Japanese (exclsuive and non) stuff that comes out in up there in $$$ and if I really want it I will pay for it, if not I wont. I wanted the Astrotrain and Airazor set but I decided it was too much money and didn’t go for it. But a lot of other people didn’t think it was too much and got a set. That is the nature of exclusives, it doesn’t mean for everybody and is suppose to be as enticing as possible for people who are willing to pay for it. That's why the Seekers made sense (plus really the other CL figures couldn’t be repainted or remolded for a 5 piece set).

So what you're basically saying there is, "If I can't have them, then NOBODY should."

That's exactly what I'm saying. Don't set it up so that these highly desired, G1 main-line characters are only available to what amounts to an elite few.

Air Commander Starscream wrote:Tis true that these figures are hiked quite a bit higher then they would go in the stores. But your forgetting that these figures are exclusives and are not being made in large quantities. I don't like having to pay that much money for these figures, hell I was outraged last year when they sold Waspinator and Megatron together for like $85 and then Lazerbeak and Buzzclaw together for $45. But I baught them anyways because I wanted too so I could complete my Botcon set,

GetterDragun wrote:Just look at the repaint of Energon Constructicon Maximus, you basically get one figure for free in that set and people still complained. It seems the only true way to satisfy Transformers fans is to price all new figures at $10 and any repaint of the figure at $5, and only do crappy repaints of figures no one wants for exclusives.

Err, I don't suppose that could maybe be because almost no one wanted that figure? People were talking about how horrible the Energon Gestalts were when they were first released. What on earth made Hasbro think people would want another set?

Were you not here on these forums during the past 9 months when Classics were released and every thread on Classics Starscream included a handful of posts regarding how much everyone wanted a full set of seekers?

Have you never been to a store and seen that repaints of molds from the same series just sit on the shelf?
How do you justify releasing a full assortment of the same mold to retail?
