>>11590166The cassettes are also a great example of how spreading out toy releases of teams/crews just hurts the collectors, in Siege it was Ratbat and red Rumble, that was hard to find and if you wanted blue Frenzy you needed to by a 4 pack with two bots not even related to Soundwave. The Earthrise molds were even worse where if you wanted earth mode Laserbeak and Buzzsaw together you had to buy Soundwave twice, one as a $40 Walmart exclusive and the other a Leader class with another Ravage and Rumble that came out 5 years later. This isn't even looking over the exclusive Target Preceptor pack and the mess of Studio Series with $100 Rumble.
It all just feels very fucked up when a decade ago they didn't have these problems.
>Release Voyager FoC Soudwave with one disc bot>release a case of two packs that have the remaining 4 team members >Release the Soundblaster deco at retail with the one that wasn't in the game (Buzzsaw)>2 Quarters later do the same with Blaster and his crew Who in their department is making these choices? Somewhere they knew what they were doing and one day just lost the thread. Just what the fuck happen around 2018?
