Tfw sure loves sucking the plastic dong of our corporate overlords.

Hasbro should reveal a G1 packaging, to send the nunbers to the moon!

So What? Who cares?
I'm sorry, but I have never been so tired of any product in my life being shoved down my throat daily as much as this idiocy consistently is. I can't believe how quickly I have lost virtually any respect I had left for Hasbro. Again, sorry.

You lost respect for Hasbro because TFW2005 keeps hyping something?

^ Something tells me this has nothing to do with Hasbro, respect, or TFW.
People, if you're not interested in something, just move on with your life.

If someone gives me $900 I'll back the hell out of this thing.

To be fair, I don't really much respect the way Hasbro has been doing business, or treating fans, since the TLK line, if I'm being honest. This is just a new level of distaste lately. Also, I'm equally not a fan of the so called "news" hype, it isn't news.
Look, I know it has had a lot of hype and for some odd reason, some people seem to like it, I'm just not getting the appeal and whenever I think it has died down, it flares up again, like a rash lol.
I respect that there are 2 sides to every story and objectively discussed it on that bases as I have no dog in this fight but this newest tidbit just feels like overkill, that's all.

I dunno man I find it super fun. It’s like an event, kind of like following Endgame box office results.
I’m also stressing about weather I should buy 1 Unicron, or 2 or 5.

I feel ya', and that's fair, I guess. I hadn't even thought of it along those lines.
I also guess that maybe that's the thing, I don't think the 2 camps (for and against) will ever be able to reconcile with one another on this issue, which kinda makes me a bit sad if I'm honest. Let me try and explain what I mean, I hope this works lol.
On one side,I know some folks have backed 1 and some have backed more. I don't personally understand why anyone would ever back 1 and here's the thing, I don't think I am even capable of thinking along those lines, like I can't fathom a toy being thought of as an event...its just a toy, an insultingly overpriced toy at that. Now, don't get me wrong, I'm not saying there is anything wrong with someone who does think that way but I believe that I am so far removed that I can't even digest or imagine such excitement, I kinda wish I could sometimes lol. Like, it doesn't even dawn on me to have that idea.
On the other side, many say they like it and wish they could afford it and all this stuff. I can afford it, I just think its attrocious and, at best, might belong in a transformer museum. When I say I just don't want it because it looks awful I get funny stares, as if simply not wanting it doesn't register as an option lol. Like I'm a weirdo for not wanting it, and maybe I am. I just, I dunno, I find its existence obnoxious and insulting. And, as I say that, those who would back this thing won't be able to fathom my mindset either.
That's the thing, I think those 2 mindsets are sooooo far apart that it even becomes challenging to see the point of view if the other side. If this was union negotiations, there would be a strike lol.
As I have said before, to me it boils down to 1 question - am I okay telling Hasbro that this is an acceptable price to charge me personally for a toy? Since I have lost pretty much all respect for the way they do things over the last couple years, and find this a pretty lackluster attempt the more I see of it and since I could be dead before this monstrosity ever even releases, I gotta vote no, this is not even close to being acceptable and therefore the incessant marketing barrage just feels...dirty.
