Hasbro Masterpiece Sunstorm!

[drifand]

Perhaps wrong marketing skill by Hasbro as everyone seem to bag Acid storm quickly. I bought it because I knew Sunstorm was possible if Acid storm was released.

If they released Sun storm first, there may be more people interested in acid storm. But it is what it is. I should expect Acid storm on Ebay getting harder once more and more people realised Sunstorm is coming out.

After having obtained the green glory that is Acidstorm, it really spurred me to want to pick up Sunstorm (Previously I had very little to no interest ) but I baulked at the current asking prices for the Takara version - So to hear of a possible Western release?, friggin' awesome!

No. I don't buy TFs for the boxes.

I look at it this way - one day when I no longer want my MP collection I plan to pass it on to my grand kids. I think it will make the collection more special for them if everything is packed away into a pristine box and they get to open it rather than just handing them a loose toy.

Box Conversation aside it should match acid storm style, if it is the old in starscream style then I guess you either suck it up or buy Takara.

Either way is kind of irrelevant because Hasbro have not follow through the box style until the Soundwave and acid Storm release. Takara on the other hand had followed through so if boxes are of importance, Takara should be your goal.

Why would you even suggest they'd go back & use an old mold when all the seekers since MP11 have been the new format?

I am referring to the box format (the old window plastic style), not the toy since people are being crazy over box art and what not. Which is why I said it would be following Acid Storm current style for new Hasbro mps. I didn't suggest anything. Saying that, Thunder Cracker is new Mold but OLD style packaging

But again saying that, WHY on earth would the box bother you if you were technically collecting ALL Takara style mps and decide to break pattern when there is a Takara Sun Storm? So technically is of no relevance if box art was in consideration.

i thought you were referring to the figures when you said "box conversation aside". Why preface it as such if that's what your point was about?
I didn't make any mention of boxes, so i cant understand why you'd make a point of it, again.

[Bidoofdude]

I'll pass. Don't need Acid Storm either.

I didn't make any suggestions either so stop at that. I wasn't in the debate about keeping boxes that's what I referred to . I was wondering the type of packaging, and why box art is any concern for this release which was where this started. My bad on the confusion

if they go with a bright yellow box but in the same style as acidstorm would be cool... that would certainly grab the attention of the buyer
