And having two different options in regards to expensive toys is a bad thing?

You have an indispensable resource in the internet, in which you can look at each and every one of these products to formulate your own opinion on which one to buy. There's nothing sucky about that.

Don't buy any of them. Problem solved.

having choices is bad?

maybe you want to reconsider your stance?

Its not about which one i want as im going for the igear option and MT Devastator, its the lack of selection dont get me wrong i like these guys and what weve been givin and happy for the option

but theres a handfull of minibots to choose from and the option is 2x Wheelie, Powerglide, Seaspray and 1x Huffer and the same for Combiners a handfull to choose from it just would be nice to see some variety among these partys .

I tend to agree. I think there's been far too much duplication to say it's a coincidence. I wish the 3rd party guys would spread out their efforts.

It's a double edged sword. On the one hand you've got numerous companies making different takes on several characters, allowing buyers with interest to chose which ones work better for them. On the other hand the time being spent over everyone doing the same things leaves a void for other things we could potentially be interested in getting, like Blitzwing, Menasor, or perhaps even Trypticon? Is anyone ever gonna tackle those?

This wouldn't be so bad if all the info came out about the same time so you could make an informed choice in the pre-order stage...

God, how much would a 3rd party Trypticon as big as the original cost? :shock:

You're not crazy.

i wonder why they are doing this again when that whole classics Prime trailer (FP and BTS) debacle ended up with stores having loads of overstock of both. i wonder why so many are repeating the mistakes of their predecessors?

we will most likely reap the benefits and be able to pick up these minibots on clearance prices if previous trends are any indicator
