Or at least, I'd think it'd be cheaper.

As for a decrease in buyership, that's another matter. It kinda comes down to the WHYS of doing Con Sets which nobody has answered. When I first heard about the Crimson Viper set way back when, I thought the main purpose for them were incentives to go. I'm guessing that's not the case anymore. And I suppose a 25A body style wouldn't scream COLLECTOR IF the Con Sets are seen as Collector Items.


True but for now Hasbro is keeping the 25th molds to themselves.
As far as I know the Club has to ask Hasbro for permission to use any molds. Hasbro has told them they can have access to all the old o-ring ones.
Also the Transformer Con exclusives are usually older molds too. Ones that Hasbro isn't currently using etc.
