It's a double-edged sword, really. If we do support it, Hasbro makes money, they put more focus on TFs & we get a shitload of toys, albeit most of them will be based off of these horrific designs. If we don't support it.....well, I already mentioned what would happen then.
Something odd about business execs: when people stop buying into a product, instead of even attempting to try to figure out what went wrong & make it better, they just assume nobody likes it anymore & move on to the next potential goldmine, throwing the older product to the wayside. It happens when a toyline dosen't sell, when a TV show doesn't get the intended ratings....hell, it happens when people start favoring one flavor of ice cream instead of another.
So basically, we have a choice to support garbage in hopes that the garbage will later get filtered out to some degree....or we can choose not to support it, & the good stuff gets thrown out with said garbage.
Or on the other hand if we don't support the movie and Hasbro moves on them the demand for Transformers will go down and thus so will the prices, something I am hoping for since I plan on building up my G1 collection during the movie run, thus causing vintage TF's to become a commodity on E-bay and other internet stores. Hasbro seeing the upswing in TF sales will be roused into taking another look at the Transformers brand and more importantly what is moving on the net. This is a long term view and might take quite a few years but in the end the results will be worth it.
