And hopefully next time they at least raise the purchase limit a little more, especially for troop builders.

Meh, I have lost faith that there will even be a "next time". It seems all we will be getting going forward are those Transformers crossovers, which I personally have zero interest in.

I hear that...I badly want to army build the CT/COs but right now funds are a little tight.

I would describe my interest in the TF crossovers as an "enthusiastic side quest." That is, I like them a lot, but more as a subset of the O-ring line, not the main event. I share your "lost faith" in a "next time."

I'm annoyed at myself for not buying more during that Pulse 15% off sale right before Christmas (20% off for Premium members if I'm remembering correctly). I have two sets but would love more. Maybe there will be other opportunities, but I'm hesitant to pull the trigger at current pricing.

Yeah that was a good sale. I picked up 20 sets with 20% off.

I'm debating right now whether or not I want to AB the Troopers. I'd need 24 to fill the space though, and I'm really not sure I want to deal with having to get rid of that many Officers.

On ebay it looks like the CTs go for 30-40 bucks when sold individually and the COs around 30 bucks so their is no savings there. I do agree with what others have said about not wanting to fork over 40 bucks per pack from Hasbro so maybe I can get some on sale if I wait long enough. I am trying to combat the FOMO urge, funding and patience with Hasbro on any future announcements revolving around o-ring.

I just think the faster they sell out of those packs the better for any arguments they are making behind the scenes over demand for orings.

So I sorta screwed up my retro-ring Stalker trying to tighten up an elbow joint, and bought a Amazon warehouse cheap(er) one as a replacement. I get the thing, open it up to discover it was a return and not only had Stalker been replaced with a Walmart ME Retro Stalker, but Bumblebee was missing the cannon and rollcage with rear fenders (and probably other stuff too). I figured it was a risk not finding Stalker in there, but missing parts off BumbleAWE!? Wtf?
