Are you talking about them not including the additional accessories with the figures to begin with? That's just the same cheaping out on CHUG accessory counts for the sake of uniform profit margins that they've been doing since Classics began in 2006. This is the first time they've offered any official option to supplement that, and these accessories were almost certainly created after the molds were cut, in response to fan demand.

Or are you just annoyed at the weapons only being sold with the Centurion drone instead of on their own?

@Zerohour these extras are the things that plastic limits denied us, so the fact we're getting them at all is good. Certainly easier then trying to get the company to revise business practices and allowances

And for ****'s sake, you whiny baby, it's not them deliberately trying to bilk us. Get over yourself already. The limited accessories has been a thing for as long as CHUG has existed, because Hasbro has always been about uniform profit margins on figures. It's the same reason mold hollows happen. Most fans are aware of this, have managed to get this through their heads that that's just how it works. And in the past couple years, we've been saying "You're only going to give each figure so many accessories because of plastic limits? Fine, we get it. So how about selling packs of weapons then?"

That's what this pack is in response to. And $10 for that many weapons is much more bang for buck than you get buying 3P.

Hopefully hasbro/tak will start to include things with figures and the weapon packs can then be just blast effects/additional cool stuff rather than a figures missing bits.
Not sure how well weapon packs would sell if they did it the weapon pack with centurion is a mixture of cool stuff and missing bits which I more than appreciate.

According to them, there are only two markets though - The US and Japan...

Also, it's about time they realized no one is buying these reissues until they hit clearance anyway, so why not price them accordingly. At $20, not one set of the cassette reissues sold at my local Walmart. When they got knocked down to $10, they were gone in a flash. Same with the Prime and the Soundwave. The $50 price tag was way too much, but once they hit about $25 on clearance, people snatched them up like crazy.
So yeah, $30 for Blaster is about right.

Depending on where you live.
In my area Soundwave and his cassettes were NEVER found. Other places were cleaned out by scalpers even at full price.

Same stupid sh!t will happen with Blaster.

Don't like my crass words? Boohoo. You want me to be more respectfucl when I pull you up? Fine, I'll just issue you with warnings, you are after all, well versed in receiving them.
(Hence why no one's buying your "just kidding" posts)

Just give up.

And by give up, I'm serious. Stop, get back on topic. You know what comes next.
