also take into account your talking about toys marketed for 3 year olds.
some of us feel the same way you do,but the point is that we dont do anything because hasbro has done this for years and they wont stop now.
but if they didn't have variations and recolors,even more poeple would hate the toys even more.
example:
some people(me included)dont like animated deluxe bumblebee,so i bought the activator to be in scale,but i didn't like the colors(namely the yellow),so i bought the patrol version to fit with the other autobots as far as colors go(his yellow makes him stick out)
if they didn't have variations and recolors id be completely screwed on having a bumblebee,because i hated the main version of it.[/quote]
theres mothing wrong with the yellow

i dont hate yellow,it's probably my favorite color(from all the bumblebee's everywhere)
it's just the bright yellow makes him stick out next to prowl,shockwave and grimlock
