Incorrect statement. While we are collectors, we represent a small percentage of revenues for the TF line. If they were to produce a whole run of these...they would become shelf warmers. Think about it from the primary group that purchases TFs...parents. If you go to the store and see Thrust, Dirge, Ramjet, and Thundercracker on the shelf, you basically see the same 4 figures (in their mind) with just a different color. So they only buy one seeker. Thrusts are all ready clogging up the shelves at my stores right next to Cliffjumper...the repaints, so why make 3 more repaint characters? They won't sell enough to clear them out and stores will be pissed.

Please present your marketing and/or large-market manufacturing degree.
Then please proceed to explain by way of market analysis how you can prove that you know better than a multi-billion dollar corporation with 20+ years of experience.
I, personally don't have those. So I know I'm not really in a place to second guess one of the largest toy manufacturers in the world.

I was just making a smartass comment. I think it's actually a quote from Dr. Evil asking why make billions when they could make millions.
