This first assortment of Prime toys will be its first release, so the option of 'already got that character' isn't there to prevent a kid or parent from grabbing the "lead roles" first. Parents who have the slightest knowledge of the brand or the cartoon, will prioritise the characters they know or recognise first... and they are the biggest consumer group for Hasbro to plan ahead for.
You're dead right Griffin, you're dead right as I've heard the very same utterings myself (Which has lead to some brief conversations ) and I think that is exactly what Prime will have going for it, especially in its first release of figures seeing as though the 1st waves seem to be rather tight with characters and classes but also the fact that there are fewer characters should help also - I just hope the lack of Media Support for the line, well to the non-pay T.V. populace at least, doesn't hurt sales locally.

Again, one benefit of the internet and online retail.
