I meant it's not bad value for money for a Convoy w/ trailer. Cos didn't Target charge around the $200 mark for their Convoy w/ trailer? And I agree that it's not as exciting as another seeker or a whole new mould -- but it's a limited exclusive, which are always repaints (sometimes retools) anyway. If this was a mass retail release like Ultra Magnus (which I skipped, even when Target was selling them here for $80 a pop) then yeah sure... but as a limited piece, I'm sure there'll be enough interested people who'll pick it up. Let's face it, there are collectors who'll fap over anything just because it's a limited variant (like G1 '84 Optimus Prime w/ red feet - he looksridiculous but the sheer rarity makes him a novelty to some collectors ).

An upsized Music Label Soundwave with improved articulation and other features? (and yeah, he would also be able to play cassette tapes as well as be a working radio)

naw man, Nemesis Prime would require more effort - i.e. retool the Autobot insignia into a Decepticon one. This is far lazier. But it is a better effort than Jafcon Convoy! (see, everything's better when you lower your standards )
