Just AOE One-Step Lockdown today. Almost bought voyager Hound too, but I'm trying to limit myself on AOE stuff to the Dinobots and Lockdown toys (I love Lamborghinis). Already slid a little with some other stuff (Evasion Prime, C-Bots Dino Riders Prime and Hound). It's a slippery slope for me and that's how I ended up with a lot of crappy toys from the first film.

No problem. I'm the same way with some of the DC stuff.

Not really. Retailers never seem to care which version of the marque names are in any particular line, just as long as recognizable names are there.

Also, Rocket may seem like a bit of a rip-off but he's part of the team. We'd all be upset if he was left out of the lineup. Plus, as ukmu said, he comes with a BAF piece.

To me a real rip-off was that BAF Rocket. Small characters like him and Puck should not be BAFs. IMHO, BAF slots should be reserved for characters that Hasbro would never be able to realistically put out at retail and stay relatively affordable.

That's the exact same reason I picked up one myself.
