Starting with TF1, it was a free-for-all... you could purchase all the main characters in AT LEAST two size classes, sometimes half a dozen or more. And they sold like mad.

ams: Dude, you own three different unlicensed City Commander toys and a half dozen fake third-party Prime trailers. WTH? | |

Join Date: Sep 2003 Posts: 11,723 Location: Lansing Michigan Collection Count: 486 News Credits: 2 | I really wish we'd get deluxe versions of leaders more often. would have loved a deluxe armada megatron to go with the deluxe prime. or a deluxe cybertron prime and megatron based on their vehicle modes, rather than the beast wars molds.
animated gave us a deluxe megatron, but he was a floppy piece of shit. | |

Supreme Rollout Command Optimus Prime is a crappy toy, but nowhere close to abysmal as Ultimate Bumblebee and Supreme Cheetor. The Iron Maidens on Facebook | |
