Why wouldn't they have made the boxes cross-compatible and connectable to the Siege, Earthrise and Kingdom figures? I mean they're taking their own IP's and doing nothing to cross sell? Kind of a missed opportunity if you ask me. (But I know no one is.)
I thought the same. But I have no familiarity with Micro Machines at all so just wild guesses.
Maybe it's already an established connecting configuration with other MM playsets? Something that they're just starting to have for MM "blind" boxes that work as a "build your own base" pieces that get people hooked on building bigger bases (great idea BTW if that's so)? Or something having to do with patent?
I'm curious of the idea behind the base pieces than the TF figures. Hope some enlightening can be revealed by Hasbro in the future.
The OP MM looks great. I might get some if I chance upon these at retail just for curiosity sake (who am I kidding? Honestly it's to feed my plastic TF toy addiction,
).
