Got my Ark this morning. Came backed in a box twice the size of the Ark box with those inflatable filler/bumper things to pad it out.
It's not a perfect figure but I like a lot of things about it and some of the engineering elements are really interesting (like a set of panels that accordion out from the wrist area as you deploy the hands in order to fill in the hollow that's now vacated during transformation.
I'm totally going to lose that teeny tiny Optimus figure though, so it's probably never coming out of its wrapper.
The only other gripes I have are minor. Mainframe could've used a gun or something and like someone else noted, it's kind of weird that the back of the Vok disc is printed with a repeat of the Sounds of Earth record side (there are two discs packed in. One is the Voyager disc with the Sounds of Earth record on one side and the appropriate pictograms on the other. The other is the Vok disc with the Vok symbols on one side and the Sounds of Earth repeat on the other.)

I haven't read anything, but I feel like nobody "decided" this is their business model. It's more like "we haven't changed how we've done things in 20+ years and the world of web-based sales is new and frightening to us"
Like I wouldn't be surprised if you went to TRU corporate HQ and found their senior executives typing up documents on old IBM Compatible with the 5 1/4" floppy drives (only half joking about that)
