    So in other words, you have no reason to think it'll sell, and are just assuming?
    Excuse me, not all of us are scalpers, and as far as I know, no one on these boards is a scalper. And most of us have standards. So try not lumping everyone into one big group.

    When I was younger than him I got G1 Jetfire. These days that Bumblebee is Hasbro's expectation of a kid having a great day. For me when I got my Jetfire,
    it was a Tuesday.

    I may think kids have it better than I did but this is not one of those cases at all. Nope, I don't envy that gigantic Bumblebee.

    I don't plan on buying it but on the other hand, I'm not actually dissing this release either. As collectors, we get larger Titan Class figures so why can't kids have something along those same lines. I don't know if a price was announced yet but I hope the quality on this is better than on some of the other Cyberverse releases I have seen. Even kids deserve to have good quality in their TFs too.

    I don't know. When I was a little child, I wasn't interested in posability, or complex transformation, so I get the point of different targets.
    But I hated cheap, light, bare and hollow plastic. It was enough to hate a toy.
    When you're very young it is all about the feel and the look. Diaclone toys were heavy, chunky, full of paint, translucent bits, chrome, stickers. They felt rewarding.

    And a good generations toy can be rewarding too, in a different way.

    But this... This looks and feels like something from an Easter egg or a giant Happy meal.
    Kids have different priorities but they can see cutting corners, they're not dumb.

    But in the end this is just a one off, it's not like an entire line of these. That, that would be a problem LOL.

    Some people must be buying them because I've never seen one on clearance. My TRU stocked them like 2-3 times and they sold out every time. They probably buy them for the same reason people buy those gigantic 2-3' tall Star Wars or Power Rangers figures.

    Then they need to stop making obvious crap like this and make something worthwhile for a child. This thing has size, and that's it. It's truly hollow, and has nothing interesting about it to make it fun for a kid.
    Now watch Hasbro produce millions of these things and they take up almost the entire shelf, and thus nothing else gets stocked.
    I only ever see those things shelfwarm and go on clearance. One Toys'R'Us selling them OK-ish isn't enough to prove they sell well enough to justify making them. And then we get to the fact that Toys'R'Us went under...

    (Yes, I understand the main reason they went under. But their own business practices didn't help them at all).

    They actually sold out in all the TRU stores I went here in Quebec, never seen one on clearance.

    I bought an opened one (RiD version) from TRU for $5. It's fun for 5 minutes in all of its goofy glory. Then I sold it pretty much for what I paid for it.

    That thing looks amazing, I can only imagine how happy the children will be when they burst it open and all of the candy falls out.
