I love it when people insist third party companies arn't thieves and then I see posts like this.

FoC Shockwave, RiD Ratchet, Arcee, and Soundwave are musts. Perhaps more but i'd like to see reviews and such before truly deciding.

Don't misunderstand me, I can afford third parties. Although I must say, even if I had the morality to buy them, I wouldn't waste the asking prices on them but that is neither here nor there.
How are they thieves? Well right there you're saying you will not buy Hasbro figures, the ones who can legally make toys of the characters and will instead buy toys from those who don't.
Supply and demand doesn't mean anything when it involves the right to make the toys.
*Waits for someone to do the inevitable "Well if Hasbro made the toys I wanted *cry cry*" argument

... ?
When did I say I won't by Hasbro figures? I just said the figures i've seen here don't make me want to replace the figures I already have, which are obviously a lot of Hasbro figures. I really don't give a crap who makes the figures, as long as they're good quality and are affordable enough for me to buy. The third party figures come with a high price tag because they are basically targeting a niche market (high-spending adult collectors).
You seem to be very offended by the fact that people won't spend on Hasbro, but will spend on third party companies who "legally" don't have the right to make them. That arguement has always been one that I laugh at. 3rd party companies are NOT, and I repeat, NOT a competing business for Hasbro. They make enough money that these third party companies are, if anything, doing Hasbro GOOD by keeping the franchise alive with an older audience who buys both third party AND hasbro products. Supply and demand is everything, btw. If 3rd party companies were actually stealing a nice chunk out of hasbro's profits, I'm sure they would be shut down and made to pay fines. Until then, be a wise consumer and choose to spend your money on things that you feel deserve it. Spending on 3rd party tfs aren't going to kill the Transformers franchise... there are still children all over the world buying Transformers, as well as other Hasbro products, that are within their parents' budgets.
Sorry for the off-topic dialogue, everyone.
