    Default Would you buy Power Core Combiner Drone packs?

    The thing that gets me about the PCC thing is that we can only get drones with the 5-pack commanders. I understand that the drones are compatible with the 2-pack commanders, but I'd really love to see more sets of drones to collect so that my 2-pack commanders can have drones of their own without having to share with the 5-pack commanders' drones. Imagine being able to display all your PCC combiners in gestalt mode at the same time (instead of two at a time - unless you buy multiple 5-packs, but then you'd still have left over multiple 5Pk Commanders).

    Another reason is that the standard price for the 5Pks are prohibitively expensive. I've seen the 5 packs on sale around my area for a week now, and I'm still hesitant on buying them cos they're like $40 each!!

    What I'd really like to see is if Hasbro released individual four-packs of different drone teams. Similar to the G1 Micromaster Patrols. You could have different themed teams too.

    So assuming that these four packs were released at reasonable prices, would you collect them?

    No, because I hate the drone concept. I would rather see the 5-pack commanders available by themselves for $15.

    I'm sticking to the 2-packs and leaving them as non-gestalts but it's a good idea.

    I've bought the aerialbots set and put the combaticons on layby. I mean it's all I'm interested in from TF's at the moment. (well maybe the longhaul repaint and some of w3 HFTD figs)

    I find them fun yes they're $40 but a deluxe at some places can cost up to $30.

    Right now I'm unsure. I don't make much money and done my calculations. As of now there's going to be 6 2-Pack PCC toys and 4 5-pack PPC toys.

    Let's say I buy the 2-Packs at my local Toyworld which has them on sale for $15 each, so that's $90 down for the 2 packs.

    And then there's the 4 5-pack PPC toys, which at my Toyworld has them for $40 tops, so that's $160 down.

    So total, that's $250 spent on the PCC series. A series that is so ambiguous I'm unsure of whether it is official Transformers Movie related (I'm a TF Movie collector primarily) although I know that Smolder appeared in the Movie Universe Cyber Missions Webisodes.

    As said, I don't make much because I do only do a few hours of work and $250 could be better spent on the other toys from the TF2010 and Generations line.
