Everyone kept attacking the price like if 30 bucks is some kind of small fortune that could send them to the poorhouse. Not one person wanted to comment about why they didn't like the figures other than the price. That was lame.
Then I suggest you revisit that IT BB thread & read all the replies. Because Almost everyone did give valid reasons on why they disliked the IT BB based off aesthetics. The comments some gave were it's smaller than a HasTak Legends sized TF toy. Sculpt is low. not enough Articulation. Too small. Doesn't look good posed next to newer HasTak toys in a similar scale. Looks outdated.
You were overly telling everyone to buy it. by demeaning there recent 3rd party TF toy purchases. openly mocking their income,mocking there jobs & budgets. saying stuff like if they can afford to buy a $300 3rd party toy like omega supreme,then they have to buy IT Bumblebee.
Even after some said they didn't like IT Bumblebee for valid aesthetics reasons. you further openly mocked them. by saying that they'd be all over this if it went on clearance.
Im talking about comments AFTER I brought the thread back from the dead asking if any new news had surfaced. That's when they all bombarded the thread with price complaints. Nobody bothered to simply say "I haven't heard anything new" until someone posted those new pics way after the negativity began. And the guy who made a complaint about the small size only said that as a reason to attack the price. I could give a crap less if any of them buy the figure. But I would bet that if it goes on clearance for 15 bucks at least SOME of them would buy it. Maybe I'm wrong about the whole coffee shop collector generalization. But what if I was right ? If I was to take a wild guess at who I might have inadvertently described, I would point to the person who got most offended. The truth sometimes hurts.
Wouldn't that have been me? I don't buy 3rd party transformers.
