    Thats my view as well. It'd be cheaper for them to make the effects as opposed to the figures which i find lame. I'd buy the effects pack at the same price to be honest. They'd make money off them either way. And if they wanted to keep making the battlemasters for those that want them just multipack them too.

    I think the Battlemasters are nice little earners to an insane degree though*, like a cheap horror movie that's guaranteed to make a good profit. Plus they use them to invoke nostalgia or completism, bulk out their bloody Amazon exclusives, load up Spinister or whoever... And we potentially have the beginning of new ones with SlitherFang.

    * Same with the Micros. And it's getting worse; Amazon UK want £18 for the Battle Squad alone, BBTS want you to buy packs with the squad plus the cassettes, or Rung and Singe. They don't list them separately.

    I've now got Spinister coming on via Amazon.

    Personally I'm not a big fan of the gun targetmasters, but the guys who either turn into melee weapons and/or animals are great.

    How about you make some!
    see the signature

    I really think that they won't release a blast pack for the same reason, but man if they would have just put elbows and knees on those little guys they would have been so much more of a hit. Look at the micromasters Visper and Storm Cloud my kids LOVE those ones!

    Saw Jetfire one time at Bridgeton, MO Walmart when it was still $79.99; too rich for my blood. Slackers in Fairview Heights, IL has Omega for $189.99... that might balance out reasonably well when you consider shipping.

    I never saw either one in a store. Got both from Amazon on sale.
