I have mentioned this several times in many post.. The TF movie line had several TF that were not in the movie released in movie packaging.. The cancelled vehicles will show up in the movie line for joes as well. Its a marketing ploy to keep those that are only interested in the ARAH figures of the modern era buying stuff. Think about it. How many of you have stated wanting a certain figure only for it to show up in a CP? thus forcing you to buy a figure you didn't want to get one you did.
I love marketing.... They are going to make the sell one way or another. Bash the movie line all you want, in the end they will still make their money and you will have to decide how bad you want that one figure.
I don't care how the figure comes out..modern or movie as long as they are made. I can go from there and customize the figure however I feel it should have been made or to resemble the classic figure. I like the Mars 3 pack.. I see great potential for customs if nothing else.
Now as for the modern era being blended in.. nothing wrong with that, at least we should expect less repaints unless its movie line stuff. I will buy it all..again.. I am a completest and also a customizer.. the more parts the better the variations. Worrying about getting that one ARAH figure... why.. I can find Blowtorch.. it's the resolute stuff that is flying off the shelves.. mainly the trooper. Just my .02
According to Batman from south texas the new resolute CPs are out in retail. He picked some up tonight, has pics.
