That is all.

Do you mind me asking, what is your age range? Early 20's, late 30s, etc...
I only ask because I have been trying to see things both ways when it comes to Bay, but as a 80s baby I just cant. It seems that folks who didnt grow up watching G1 TF and TMNT don't really have that much of a problem with him but guys who did want to castrate the man. I liked TF1, hated TF2, and TF3 was ok. As a whole, the franchise is a slap in the face to the fans who grew up with the show. The man actually said he thought the show was stupid and the cartoon movie was terrible. Renamed characters as he saw fit. Killed off fan favorites. And now for the rest of time Bumblebee will never talk again. (Id pay to hear his thoughts on this) If he wanted to do a movie based on giant robots fighting the military nothing was stopping him. I feel like he sits in a room with pictures of our favorite 80s shows on the wall and throws darts at them to determine which one goes in the toilet next. (crossing my fingers for Thundercats and SilverHawks) Why even come out and say that you're a part of a team putting together a TMNT movie, say that you are changing the origin, listen to fans get pissed, and then tell said fans "they need to chill"? Why even make the movie have anything to do with TMNT? Just make your own franchise up, right? Wrong. That man is Satan in 80s clothing. So to answer your question....wait, what was the question?

On topic, are the Classics out of stores now? I need Leo and Raph and am still kicking myself at passing on Raph a month ago.
