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?

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.

A big NO to the Drones from me. I find that the Transformer concept is wasted on drone limbs.

A Power Core expanision pack of minicons would be much better IMHO

Nailed it. A pack of drones is nothing like a pack of micromasters. You get the drones, then what? You need another toy to use them, they're useless otherwise.

Minicons much better. Drones are just like accessories. It used to work back in the day because you could transform the limbs to bots, and you could use them as arms or legs. Another 20 years forward, 25 years steps back it would seem.

im another one for the no, im even struggling to even like the figures... i would rather see a set or two for the minicons.....but les lame. not a big fan of the translucent plastics

Nah, I see the concept as all too Power Ranger-ish.

Aside from my own feelings, I doubt drone packs would sell well.
