Too many Transformers, too much choice, too little money and definitely not enough space. Then we add the 3rd Party toys coming at us from all angles, and try to balance that against older toys we may be trying to buy (or not buy), and we all develop strategies for staying away from what may bankrupt us. For some the decision to pass on a particular type of product can be arbitrary, for others it’s because it won’t fit with their collection direction. Some may want it all, but can’t afford to give in. From behind a computer screen where gorgeous promotional images and enabling collector photography can only do so much damage, we are safe.

I was thinking this would be an article talking about how many variations (too many) of everything Transformers there are these days, but instead it's just promoting yet another one. I could go for a century without seeing yet another transforming semi truck, no matter how "great" it might be.

I could go for a century without seeing yet another transforming semi truck, no matter how "great" it might be. Well the attitude that there is too much variation on a similar theme is precisely why some of the toys in the article - namely MP10B and Citizen Stack - were ignored by myself and written off as not interesting. The article is about the fact that seeing a toy in the flesh can make you appreciate its qualities, that does not necessarily imply or promote the mass repainting or re-issuing of the same thing many times. Sorry you were disappointed by the content. All the best Maz
