This is the most inane line of reasoning ever. Its the same as saying crap product is better than none at all, so consumers have no right to criticize merchandise because they should be thankful that they even have the option to buy anything. (This argument comes up often when the new RT comics are criticized) Talk about a supply-sider theory.........
Eloquently put Bsu. Simple and too the point.
Look, I'm definately gonna be voting with my dollars. The option (and subsequent decision) to simply not buy these new sets occured to me as soon as I heard of them. That doesn't mean that there's no room for legitimate criticism of this move. This move is nothing other than milking the cow....unless they've animated a significant amount of entirely new sequences to include, there's absolutely no reason this wasn't the initial release.
HG, move on stop milking the fans and put out a new, quality product (like this oft rumored RT 2004....soon to be RT 2005).
