I tried the getting the 60 PW hold on too, especially annoying since an item I ordered arrived 2 days later (insert face palm here). I too was refused. I think they may have mentioned that the picking or something is automated. I dunno.

Now for my question, which I was thinking of the other day.


Has it been asked if Hasbr/TT make transformers with a certain life span in mind.

For example, Sky Lynx's feet, with the hinge joint. I see that as going weak over the years I would have the toy, but do Hasbro look at the design and consider "Yup, that'll last 3 years, the average lifespan of a toy with a kid"

One could consider that Masterpieces are designed with collectors in mind, so they are designed and made to last for many years. Whereas RID toys might have an expected shorter life and so certain design cuts that would last for the assumed life of the toy, but not longer, are acceptable.

So, how long do we think that may be?
