Don't accept second best! Don't buy lazy repaints.
I know what you mean though. The good news is Hasbro have said recently in their Q&A sessions that their current mindset is to mould the various heads for the different repaints when the mould is first produced. So in the future (and even now since they have done this with sunstreaker & sideswipe) we should be getting less straight repaints, and kudos to them for that. It will definitely net them more sales.
Sorry if I come off as a bit of an arsehole on this topic, I'm fine with repaints that have traditionally always been repaints (the seekers etc), but I feel that the lazy repaints do an injustice to the characters. Which is silly since we are just talking about toys here, but that's the way I feel.
