As it is, it slightly annoys me, but I can take comfort in the fact that it's about the easiest pass there is. The only time it sucks is when it's not much different, but the latter one is the better of the two and you already purchased the first.
It's crap like this where I almost don't blame the jerks that return an old version in the new one's package
Ha-ha! I know where you're coming from. The worst thing ever is when they package new repaints with figures I already own. I hate the fact that I have to buy an extra Rampage, Longarm and Breakaway just to get that box-set with the battle-damaged Sideways in it. Grrr!
To be fair though, Voyager Prime is a good mould. It may not be ultra-accurate to the movie, and it has that big backpack, but taken on its own merits, Voyager Prime is ultra poseable, has pretty good proportions, a fun transformation and some cool weapons. I don't mind it half as much if I'm buying a mould I actually
like.
The problem comes when it's a mould I absolutely hate. It's going to be hard buying a third Fast Action Battler Starscream, that's for sure.
