I actually don't think hasbro care if collectors buy it or not. This ticks all box for catering to less affluent children, far as they see it, who cares who buys it as long as it's bought. I think we're likely going to get a new Shockwave in the next three years. There's a 1 in 4 chance it will be in the size class you want

So I think it's important to remind Hasbro that even children haven't given up on quality toys as of yet....

Which kid goes to Walgreens to buy toys?

I'm just asking for quality figures and if Hasbro is confident that more people will buy half@ssed crap like this then it will impact the other lines.
If you like this Cyber Series, then fine. Dismiss what I'm saying all you like but as far as Hasbro not caring, tell that to them during those Toy fair and Comic Conventions where the Hasbro panel is constantly thanking "US" for our support.

Actually on the contrary I was just wanting you to realise who the toys were primarily for, and who they were designed for as I said (and was then corrected by jelze ) you have a 1 in 3 chance of getting the Shockwave you want in the next three years. If you want to campaign for better quality toys then go for it, just be prepared for more costs as the shareholders will not be prepared to lose profits just for our sake

This is what Hasbro doe$$$. It's done with adult collectors in mind and it's annoying!
That goes both ways and doesn't change anything I've stated so far, soooooo....Emerje wrote:YoungPrime wrote:You clearly haven't read any of my previous post on this matter.

Besides, there are fans that WOULD want a Leader Shockwave to go with Leader Megatron, Soundwave, and the three Seeker Jets. Just because it's not what YOU want doesn't mean everyone shares your feelings.

Heh it's funny you mention that bc 2 days ago I was watching TV with Sideswipe in my lap (along with Takara Legends Series Sixshot) & I was thinking that Jazz would be the obvious next choice for the line using that buck/transformation. Another idea I had was if they remolded and recolored the Grimlock (in my Cyber Battalion playlist you can see how awesome he is if you don't know. And every other Cyber Battalion release as well). But I think they need to remolded both heads (dino & bot)

I think Porshe don't like money like Wolsvagen and still refuse to give any licences to . So if a "G1" Jazz is made, it will only be a "Porch-ish" car.
