- Weapon: Switch Blade Tail
If they combine (which still hasn't been confirmed) I'm hoping Hasbro learned from the Energon fiasco and releases all of the combiner pieces in the same wave, rather than spread them out. Some folks never received the other limbs as needed (and Hasbro knows this, it's been brought to their attention in the past.) and with ROTF bringing casual collectors and fans in...I'd imagine they want their combiner to be complete and ready to go in one purchase.
If (and that's a big if) they spread them out...it's a waste of time and will lead to a LOT of pissed off people.
I have a feeling they'll drag their feet on releasing Jetfire (probably why Prime's packaging and instructions leave out any information about the ability to combine) which is also stupid and a waste of time.
I realize they need to drag the line out as long as possible to help keep it going, but enough's enough. Cut the crap and put the damned figures out together.
Besides, if they overstock on Optimus Prime and Megatron, Jetfire won't have any shelf space if he's wave 2. We know Prime will sell, but let's face it...Megatron's going to shelf warm like a nuclear powered microwave set to disintegrate. (I'll buy him, and quite a few others will, but our sales won't even make a dent in his availability.)
Take Animated Megatron for example. Great figure, not selling. No room for Ultra Magnus (in either color), no room for Megatron's repaint, and surprisingly...no room for Bulkhead. (Yes, even he sold out before Megatron did, which is a shocker. A lot of people seem to dislike Bulkhead, which is a shame...GREAT figure.)
I really would prefer not to have to go through the internet this time around. I will if I absolutely have to, but seriously...just give us the figures.
