- Motto: "Quis custodiet ipsos custodes"
So, with the exception of a *possible* WFC-K36 Voyager Blaster, pretty much all of Kingdom has been revealed, though some items still have yet to be officially released.
Looking Back at the trilogy overall. Siege had 66 different item numbers, ER 41, and Kingdom 42. So I guess in a 12 month cycle about 40 items (which includes some exclusives) is going to be about the normal? Also, some of these are multi-packs, so the actual number of toys released has some variance as well.
What does anyone think? In a given 12 month cycle are we happy with this format? Are there too many toys? Not enough? (The issue of exclusive vs general release Is a whole other subject I understand).
I'll be honest and say, with each progressive Line I spent less money from 2019-2021. Although I do appreciate that the development quality and effort seems to be going up ever so slightly (QC Issues aside). I guess characters coming out that I actually want is what has contributed the most to my decrease in purchases. Still I will always support verbally (even if not financially), any new figure of a toy that hasn't been released in many years vs one that keeps getting a new toy every year, or every 2-5 years.
Also, several of my purchases this year were to brand new characters, such as the Fossilizes. I love the idea, as with Weaponizers and Modulators, I hope we keep getting more of these in Legacy. Whether they are brand new characters, or reinterpretations of older ones, I think making the Titan's smaller components as well as reimaging Micromaster Stations as these parts forming accessories was brilliant.
My current wish list, I imagine, will be a slow burn to complete, and will rely on Selects, TT Selects, and possibly Haslab to complete, if ever.
