This is basically proof that if you dont give the fans what they want within a reasonable amount of time, somebody else will. I applaud this company for grabbing the bull by the horns and doing what Hasbro/Takara wont do. Fans dont care about copyrights, politics, or corparate marketing stratagies. Just do it like they did in the 80's and make the damn toy !!!
Yet we complain that Green-Screamer, G1 Screamer, Ghost-Screamer, Thundercracker, Skywarp, and the one or two other color/variants of the mold (isn't there an off-color/realistic deco Warp or TC in MP?) all came out "too close to each other" to justify/earn the $60+ (more often $100+) investment per MP...
Unfortunately, posts like this make it seem that the fandom can't be pleased and that perhaps we don't need to be catered too anymore... Especially since "we're" willing to bend/break the law in order to get "toys" built...
I can understand milking the pure F-15 variant of the mold to completion before they shift over to "exotic" fighter (coneheads with their different wings) designs, of which they technically can only release 1 MP per wing-mold...
