The slow down in releases is probably due to the market. It’s been pretty saturated for a while. There was a time when every release was an event. Remember Hercules? Now, it’s not such a big deal, because well it’s like the 5th Devastator out there. Whereas before when classic G1 representations of characters were few and far between, we now have multiple versions official and unofficial to choose from. There’s no longer a sense that if you miss out on this latest release of a character that you’ll never have another shot at it. There’s always a new version coming out. Just look at the Siege line and the new Earthrise line coming out. There were voyager Primes and Starscreams in Siege. There are the same for the new line but with earth modes instead of Cybertronian modes.

And still no Nautica...
