But it seems odd to me to re-releasing all of these figures again, just with different paint apps...
I get, there's not much cost in that.
However, if they don't sell well.........
My worry is that both collectors and kids will be passing on stuff at some point...
And if kids already have started buying from these first three waves,
at some point, parents are going to stop because the kids "have enough and these are the same toys in different colors".
If this works out to help bring us new molds and combiners like Predaking, awesome.
I can't help but think these G2's could end up being self-warmers.
Maybe Hasbro will be making these in much smaller production numbers???
By the way, I do think that Scattershot looks really cool.
IF I pass on Skylinx, he may make it onto my "purchase" list.
It's one of those things where they know collectors want them, and rather than release it as a con exclusive, they did it as a box set and is thus more easily attainable at a lower price. If they didn't release them many fans would see it as a missed opportunity, so...
I agree it makes sense for collectors...
However, there was always the option to release sets like this the exact same way (together in a completed set), further down the line.
Hell, even a year from now... Which probably would've increased the chances of more people buying them, including kids.
Also as I said, there's a chance these are limited in the number produced.
