The sad thing is I passed on 100's of figures!
When the Recon Ironhide came out, that spurred me into picking up what was essentially, a repackage. But I have to draw the line. I don't have close to everything, there are over 65 different Movie Bumblebees for god's sake, someone on this forums has like 40 of 'em, its nuts!
In response to the math genius, yes I'm a fan boy, yes I would like a G1 movie, yes I understand it is not financially sound. The movies make money for everyone involved. That doesn't mean I have to continue to partake. Thankfully, there are dozens of 3rd party companies making the products I want. I can afford them, and so I will continue to buy figures.
But these movies are bad. And the fact that people defend them is ridiculous to me. They make alot of money therefore they are good! What sheep! The human element sells the movie, you can't have an all Transformers movie! Yea, because when I go to see Captain America, the driving force for me will be his wife/boss/friend/cabdriver, anyone but the namesake of the movie.
The movies serve their purpose, keeping the brand alive. For that, I hope they make 10 movies, I just don't care to see them anymore, or buy anymore of their plastic turds. That's me. I hope this doesnt piss anyone off. If the movies are you favorite part of Transformers, great, you have a lot to look forward to. It's just not for me.
