Would you buy Power Core Combiner Drone packs?

[GoktimusPrime]

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?

i dont collect the PCC but i do think that would be a good idea

btw way i like you new sig Gok

[liegeprime]

Yes, but I wish not just the drones but I wish for new oh mebbe 2-3 packs of the new minicons?

I like the sig as well, we must rally more as Screamers down in the count

[Pipesqueak]

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.

[Gutsman Heavy]

I would if I liked the drones or they went well with one of the 2 pack commanders

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.

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

Regarding movie Devastator on the other hand, there could be some argument that he was either bi-locating or there are 2 sets of Constructicons - 1 non-combining robot set and 1 combining, vehicle only set.

Wouldn't purchasing the drones on their own (in 4 packs) be awfully close to collecting Hot Wheels or Matchbox toys?

There's also the issue of matching supplies of 4-pack drones with the numbers of scout-commanders: how many should Hasbro produce and toy retailers buy? Not matching that correctly may result in shelves of unsold drones; or worse, everybody getting scout-commanders with the actual drones themselves being insanely hard to find.

Like getting a ROTF NEST Mindwipe, and end up pulling your hair out looking for ROTF NEST Skystalker (insane, $35+ on eBay - for a scout!) to fill those two holes in his back (or their awesome combined robot mode).

I would buy them if they got rid of the auto morph gimmick and just made Legend size fully articulated limbs for $15-$20/pack
