Usually when people buy phones of current generation they fully expect there will be better one down the road and the companies make clear of that same goes with automobiles. No ones mad at single release of Endor figure, it is the deluxe version that's the cause.
The argument would be exactly the same if it was just the Endor version, it would just shift to "I'm buying a whole new figure for four new pieces, screw HT."
I love Star Wars, but I don’t wave my hand at automatic doors or seclude myself from an entire fanbase, just because they irritate me. That’s a bit much.
And like maru, myself and others have already profusely expressed it’s the deleted scenes accessories in the deluxe that are the issue. The Jabba’s Palace Luke was only recently released. They intentionally left out an accessory to sell to us later at a “deal” with the deluxe. They may as well have left out his lightsaber on the previous release as well, since he didn’t use it until the battle on the sail barge.
It's a thing my dad would do with me when I was younger and it's always stuck. I can't not live life without having a little fun here and there and being lighthearted.
I don't understand why this is so bait and switchy to everyone. The ROTJ Luke, had you gotten that and only that is an excellent release with a good selection of quality accessories. This isn't meant to be a deal, it's nearly $50 more for the deluxe.
I think people would be pissed if they previewed the phone at the same time as the first one, and the only difference was the color.....then they added a bigger screen, better camera and voice activation , that was not shown on the one they previewed at the same time.....
Once again....point missed entirely...
It would have been BETTER had they put this up days after the initial PO, then people would have had choice.
But no, they waited till a bunch got sold and shipped, secured the majority of funds.....then showed it....totally planned that way.
So you mean exactly what happens with the current phone market? Phones are displayed left and right and some don't hit the market till months after the sibling model, seemingly better with tons of features?
There's this weird notion that HT is one and done with products like they used to be. It's almost a guarantee figures will get a second release somewhere down the line, and we were previewed that very second version. So this argument of this "better" version being unfair is so wild to me. You buy a HT in the moment because that's the figure you want. You are promised nothing that they won't do a 2.0, deluxe, or better version later on. If you constantly waited on that, you'd never collect. Imagine if you were a Ledger joker collector, Lord have mercy I can only imagine the response from that.
We who bought the first release (myself included mind you!) thought it was a good figure and we liked what we saw. Period. That had no influence of what COULD come in the future. When you buy and Iron Man, or Han Solo, or any character from an established line you run the risk of a better one coming out. And I use better subjectively because I don't think this is better than the first release.
I like how you know that this was some evil, finger twiddling scheme to release this figure once they sold the first release. You know what breaks that down? The first release is still easily obtainable.
I don't have a dog in this fight because the release absolutely won't make me lose sleep. So maybe that nullifies my whole argument, who knows.
