hasbro screwing up

this is my prim example of hasbro makeing to much of one character



we only needed the voyager earth optimus and deluxe cybertronin mode all the rest just took up space and did what i say is the perant theory

e.g. kid goes to mum i want optimuprime, mum goes to store byes him a actavator ........ hasbro there for could of made money of them bying a voyager class instead and caused less store clutter

aint that just prime

activators and legends were made for kids who can afford the larger price point toys
bumper battlers are for kids who cant handle transforming toys yet
BD deluxe prime was targeted as a giftset
Roc was a disaster theres no excuse

Hasbro is doing a fine job with their toys


Megatron says street dates are for wimps

Yeah, it's disgraceful. We all know that Optimus Prime toys don't sell.

I would listen to your argument, but trying to read your post makes my head hurt.

That and I own all but one of the Primes pictured. And I may now go out and buy that one, just to spite you. :3

Optimus is a popular character and not all kids have parents rich enough to afford the voyager class so they get what they can afford. Personally I like the fact that Hasbro does this so we don't end up with Beast Machines size errors where Optimus was originally a deluxe and Megs was a tiny Voyager sized figure.

Supply & demand, kiddo... Kids want Prime, Hasbro makes him. If you don't like them, nobody's forcing you to buy them.

Hasbro are clearly screwing up all the way to the bank. I really think this is more of a case of different toys for different markets.
