Exactly! That's why I TOTALLY don't understand all the unwarranted hate for this release (with even more options than expected), when no one complained before.
Folks, its about choice. For the billionth time. We were not given the option to have the choice.
That, from a retailer, who knew there would be a choice, is the problem.
What I see is the people who don’t care about about the lack of choice are those who seem to buy every version of a figure and display multiple ones. Well , you collectors obviously do not care about choice because you buy up everything they throw at you.
The rest of us feel, that the way they choose to unveil the Jedi Luke figure was deceptive. Its not about “which is better” its about the fact that the second release was not what they previewed and included a-lot more than the first release. And options the buyer may have preferred had they KNOWN about it. HT clearly knew what they would release. So why not show both options. Its Sith Anakin all over again.
Now , if your brain cannot comprehend this simple fact, I am very sorry.
Ask yourself this simple question, why did HT not show Endor Luke with all the included items at the same time ask Jedi Luke? So consumers, who would buy one , NOT both, could decide.
Only possible answers for defense at that point is....
1. You work for SSC or HT or are apologist
2. Your a person who buys every iteration of a figure regardless of cost.
3 You are being obtuse and argumentative for the sake of it.
When a company makes the decision to be deceptive to there dedicated , and niche fan base, for the sake of a double sale attempt, they are alienating them.
And its a shame they do.
I for one have decided not to pre order anything again from HT. I did the same for SSC a while back for their quality issues. HT just earned it for not respecting the choice of the consumer.
