I actually kind of dispise these store chase mini-cons...

Because of its rarity and the fact that it won't see release anywhere else? I thought it looked cool enough...I just don't have the desire or ability to chase one of those things down.

Not that I will do it, but it isn't one of their best.

I am all for exclusives and whatnot, so even saying this is kind of tough for me.
These store chase minicons just bring out an aspect of collecting (at least in myself) that I hate: having, for the sake of having. The fleeting moment of joy compared with the price and the actual amount of toy you get is really small.
I'd like to have those minicons, given the chance, I'd likely get them. But in a very real way where I tell people 'let it go' about the 07 seekers, I take my own advice where these minicons are concerned. The last thing I want to do is spoil the hobby for myself with resentment over what likely isn't obtainable.
(Though, these minicons aren't usually unobtainable, just retarded expensive by proportion.)

I don't know why they got rid of the rub signs. Hasbro's Megatron was one of the few that didn't have it in the first place, though, and that's the only Henkei version I plan on getting right now.
