TRU at American Dream Mall is Swimming in Exclusive Transformers Creatures Collide Sets

Anyone have seen that set at a Canadian TrU yet? How much is it? I bet it's like 150$ or more.

They just keep making the same old characters over & over & over & over again. While most of the others are completely ignored or given these lazy, pathetic repaints. If they can spend the money on tooling for 50 million brand new Bumblebeemolds then they can give us 1 brand new mold for every original G1 character.

Just look what they did to Doublecross, Repugnus, Grotusque & Fangry. And they never even bothered to make Horri-bull or Squeezeplay. Why does Bumblebee deserve majority of their production budget? What makes bumblebee so damn special? Why do all these other characters constantly get crapped on?

I'm not doing this anymore! In the past few months I sold a huge chunk of my collection. And I don't regret it at all.

FYI, the majority of Bumblebee molds are not new. Like the goldbug in this set is a redeco of a cliffjumper retool.

I thought goldbug was the Netflix bee redeco

Exactly, it's a redeco of that toy which was a retool of earthrise cliffjumper

From what I can tell, your angry that ransack didn't get a new mold. Why did you think that he'd get one? As stated before, the rights of the Deluxe Insecticons are dubious at best. Thus what hasbro have done is the best you could hope for (officially at least).

As stated, redecos have existed within transformers since the very beginning, a concept baked in to extend the lifecycle of the molds (and make more money for Hasbro).

Aside from, you know, being a cash cow big enough to name an entire subline after. Why is it so hard to understand that the best selling character in the franchise that's super popular with kids, the primary target for Transformers toys, gets the most toys? It's not exactly a tough concept to understand and yet both of you seem to struggle hard with it. It's the same reason why no company misses a chance to add Spiderman and Wolverine to their Marvel lineups, Batman to their DC lines, and even Mattel was making Grogu Star Wars toys, you make the most out of what sells the best.
