And I know there are alot of people out there who can't either. Plus think of the kids who love transformers right now. I think these should be continued to be released for them too. Someone has to keep the line going for future generations. I know this ramble may not make sense, but it's all I got for right now. Even if Hasbro releasing toys brings down the value of exclusives, it's doing nothing more than showing us how stupid we are for spending the obscene amounts of money for these things.......

Ditto.
Now if only Hasbro would release Botcon's Alpha Trion...

Rumble was the one that turned into a casette.

HalfOfMe wrote:The big comic book publishers re-release classic issues. Owners of the much more valuable original prints don't get all teary-eyed about it. The originals, just like your exclusives, will always be more valuable, both monetarily AND as a sentimental commodity. The same can be said of G1 molds. I'm proud of my originals, but just as happy to replace the ones that got destroyed when I was was a kid with current re-releases. AKA: Get over it, repros are a fact of life!
HalfOfMe wrote:And as for the Lamborghini argument, actually, many manufacturers DO allow for the production of kit-cars, basically cheap repros of classic body-styles.

You still have your exclusive. Hasbro's not busting into your house to steal it.
