Dont get me wrong guys, some of the non-movie-appearence toys are great - like Wreckage, Longarm, and Arcee, to name a few. I'm not saying that the character HAS to be in the movie, comic, game, etc in order to make the toy a worth while purchase. Just that I dont see the point in buying every single toy they put out. Lets face it - some of them arent great.
But of course, like any form of collecting, its all a personal thing. These are just my thoughts.
