I've got an answer for you.
While we as adult collectors can easily keep track of pieces, children can't. This is a line for kids, and I'm actually hid In ? Them to my kids. They've already lost a piece if Dog and one of Magnus's shoulder armor. I'm sure it will all be found one day, but the point remains, parts forming makes for easily lost pieces, and that makes headaches for a parent. I hate parts forming far more now than I did before kids. Then, it was just slightly annoying.

I was just so lucky to pick him up at my local Walmart a week ago and I haven't loved a figure this much in a LONG time. People are complaining that he's too small, and yes, he is essentially a slightly upgraded voyager, but gosh dang it if he's not 100% worth it. He's sturdy, got great detail, TONS of playability, a fun transformation, and that extra set of robot arms may just be the coolest armor upgrade I've ever seen on a decepticon. Not to mention that hover board made from his armor just looks tight af. Both him and UM are top grade in every way. If downsizing your leader classes means getting this level of quality, by all means Hasbro, carry on.

I haven't seen anyone complain this much about the 3rd party legends class figures that go for 40-60$! I really justify the price if it means getting a nicely scaled, detailed, articulated figure of a 'con who just hasn't gotten the right amount of pizzazz over the years. Really, I don't think he deserves nearly as much hate as he does now, but that's my opinion I guess. I'd get him if I weren't on such a tight budget, but that's literally the only reason why I might not get him.

Using Kapow website as prices here in UK.
Optimus Prime £24.99
Megatron £24.99
Shockwave £49.99
(and I've seen Prime and Megatron for a couple quid cheaper on other places too)

That’s been my stance with siege as well. You can argue that hasbro hasn’t upped their game in quality. I got Shockwave over 2 weeks ago and he’s yet to make it to my home office where I keep my collection. He’s been on my coffee table in living room since he came out of the package becuase he’s just the best figure I’ve gotten in a long time and I’m a completer. I have every CHUG figure since 2006. I’ve watched reviews where the only negative remark is he’s $50 and yet their next video is a $60 iron Factory figure.
The quality on siege is there and I’d argue is better than 3P becuase these figures actually go through drop tests and safety tests. They’re stable and sturdy. I used to buy 3P but I got out of that fame and 2 weeks ago my Planet X swoop fell 2 feet off his shelf and his leg snapped off. Month ago reveal the shield jazz fell off a higher shelf while I was rearranging and he’s fine

At least you understand my point. Paying 50$ for Siege Shockwave seems much more justified than paying 60$ for a figure half the size, plastic quantity, and arguably worse quality. That said, every one is entitled to an opinion, and we should respect them, regardless of how we think.
I'm so sorry about your Swoop, but I'm flabbergasted that RTS Jazz survived a greater fall. I might rethink buying 3rd party in the future, even though there are ALOT of tempting figures...
