Those of us who are pre-ordering these exclusive toys and paying premium prices are gonna feel miffed if HasTak ever releases them as regular mass retail store releases. The same thing happened previously with:
- Classicsverse Thundercracker, Thrust and Dirge. Many fans got the BotCon exclusives or exclusive Gentei figures for about $50 a figure. Since then they've all been released at regular retail for as cheap as $20 here.
- MP Sunstorm. I paid 13650JPY ($175) when I initially pre-ordered it. It shelf warmed and was later severely reduced in price, then Hasbro released their own mass retail version here for about $130 IIRC
I would be happy for the majority of fans as it makes these characters more accessible, and they
SHOULD be done as mass retail figures in the first place. I even bought a Generations Thrust despite having Gentei Thrust just to show my support to Hasbro for making the decision to release that toy as a mass retail figure (which I then gave away in a competition (Sky Shadow won it)). I'm not rich enough to be so generous with MPs though.
