Says the man child that collects toys. Sorry you don't like the line but you can always put your money where your mouth is and move to premium collecting with 3P offerings and MPs. As a collector you need to come to terms that the main line will cater to children first. There are at least 4 other lines you can collect (3P and official) that will suit all your needs, but those figures start at the $35 and go up to $350. edit- They go as high as $600 if you get into combiners.
i'm sick of people saying that shitty toys = for kids. this is biggest line of bullshit ever. when i was a kid i did not like disgusting garbage like BH. people think kids are stupid but they're not. they talk down to them and treat them as lessers. it's these people who are the stupid ones. when BH fails hard, you will see i am right.
A line failing =/= you being right that Hasbro thinks kids are stupid. As for people saying crappy toys = kids, again you are insanely wrong. A toy is made because people think a kid will like it. Sometimes they're right and sometimes they're wrong. You don't like these, fine neither do I, but please get the eff off your high horse.
We get it, you don't like Beast Hunters. Point taken. You've stated (several times) your feelings and opinion of the line....the horse is dead....no need to try and beat the same feelings into everyone else. I could care less about the line myself....I might pick up SS after I see him in person, but that's about it as far as I can see for now....having said that, I'm not in here badgering the line, or the human race for liking it either. Here's a novel idea: How about you try and be happy for those that do like the line?...cant do that? Then move on.
I want to see the jet mode. Also guys chill out. You don't like it, that's cool. You like it, that's fine too. Whether this line fails will be dependent on if kids buy it. One thing limiting their exposure is the fact that the Hub is a subscription channel or whatever. Nonetheless, Transformers still sold this past holiday season. What these have going for them compared to last year is possibly less hollow parts and less electronic based gimmicks(powerizer weapons ugh), meaning the tooling went more towards the actual figure instead of accessories. Hopefully.
