Yeah and Hot Rod just came out last week :D

Geez if this is 'quiet time' for MPs I'd hate to see the busy season :eek: As it is I've had to cancel my Ramjet preorder as with the other MPs being released I can't afford him.

The only exceptions I've made are when the characters were originally gestalts in G1, so I've replace some previous non-combining CHUGUR figures with combinable CW counterparts (e.g. Silverbolt, Hot Spot, Onslaught).

But I still regard CW as a pretty awesome series. :)

Combiner Wars concept is awesome but that's it for me. Design wise they are just 'ok' and some bordering on mediocre. There isn't much in Combiner Wars that is compelling in the design or engineering to make them truly special.

I have bought only a few toys of this line because I didn't find their designs compelling enough. The only combiner I bought was Superion because none of the 3Ps had offered one that I was truly happy with and even so, not that blown away with the Combiner Wars Superion either - It is just 'alright'.

I agree with Trev's sentiments. Meanwhile, in the land of facts...

I've never seen a year so busy for MP collecting! These toys naturally come out at a slower rate because they are a more quality-focused line over the mainline stuff. Just looking at the crazy degree of engineering that was poured into MP Ironhide is mind boggling. That level of technical wizardry doesn't happen overnight. And remember that this the same creative team who are also simultaneously working on other TF lines, such as Combiner Wars, RiD, Titans Returns etc. It's not as if there's a team who are solely dedicated to developing MPs and nothing else for TakaraTOMY.

Guess they can't make everyone happy. :rolleyes:

Even that's being generous.

But then it's not a fact supported by peer review, and has less formal standing in a debate.

The issue with a google search (more so the internet in general) is that there is enough information out there that can be contorted to support whatever you want it to say.

A lot of ignorance. All I have to say people are blinded by what they know but have no balls to open to what new findings.

Just because some one made a study it suddenly became more credit? Ffs a lot need to open up more.

I am facing an issues with doctors who think steroid cream on skin has no after effects. Australia has no freaking clue what the cream does to some people. There is almost zero study here where only now US have opened to such withdraw symptoms on people do happen.

It looks as if I must do a study just to shoot all the doctors here. And even today tonight has open up to it but doctors refuse to recognise such thing. What a f up system

Why do you think 3p are making money?
And is not that, they know what the people want. Not remould another mp-11 or ramjet to trust when they made all in a hit.
People who love MPs are mostly getting old, I don't want to turn 50 just for jazz.

What does steroid cream have to do with Transformers? Do you use it on Legends to make them bigger?

Given what seemed to be a severe dislike of Masterpiece Tracks on your part (I gotta admit I did not find him the greatest MP myself, still liked him but like most of the others better) I'm surprised to find you so adamant that so many more MP's should be getting released, especially given we've just had Hot Rodimus last month, Ironhide the month before that, getting Laserwave and Ramjet this month and getting Ratchet the month after (apologies - cant remember when Primal is getting released as wont be getting him).

Given past disappointments with your fav TF toyline and your dislike of the movies, have you ever given any thought to maybe another hobby might bring you more joy than Transformers? The kids of today seem to be really into the Marvel and DC superhero movies, you might like them better than the Transformers ones and they come with action figures and comics too. Star Wars is pretty big at the moment, you might like that one. Or maybe something different altogether - I enjoy gardening and travel myself, but there are plenty of other pursuits that bring pleasure - sport, music etc. Or of course maybe you could meet a nice girl and have a few kids - I find family life very rewarding indeed. Maybe one or more of these things might make you happier than Transformers does in the long run and introduce you to some new internet chat sites to have fun on :)
