could "Classics" be acting as a buffer for

Recommended Posts

am i the only one who believes that the Classics toyline could be acting as a nostalgia fix for the collectors to make up for the possibility that the new movie might be as different from G1 as BM was from BW? it makes sense when you think about it: give the collectors all the homages they want in the Classics toyline so they'll get sick of the nostalgia and be ready for something new when the new movie comes around. even Titaniums are helping to a certain degree.

yes you are.

Hm.... that DOES make sense, you know.

 

Maybe it's something like the calm before the storm? Like they are trying to satisfy the fan base before the movie is released because they are anticipating a backlash from "us"?

 

You make an interesting point.  :thumb

yes you are.

i'm not saying that the movie will be bad, just that it might turn away the more fringed elements of the fandom(which is probably a good thing).

I think you're close.

 

I think that the figures mixing old and new may actually be a way to prepare fans for the movie.

Really wouldn't be surprised if some of the things mentioned in bios or things we see in designs crop up later.

Maybe you guys are dumb and Classics and Titanium are just FILLER before we get movie toys. Trying to start a full-fledged storyline (A/E/C) toy sequence would be too long and run over into the movie stuff.

 

I just figured it was obvious or something like that

I'm not going to question their motives so long as they keep making stuff I like.

i always figured that the movie toys would be more of a subline, kind of like "Universe".
