Incidentally, I'm in a similar boat, wishing that Hasbro would move further away from doing repetitive Optimus Prime and Bumblebee figures in their lines (which they have started to, at least), but I also see that, sometimes, you do have to redux a bunch of characters for the new collectors who haven't been in the game for as long/can't afford the aftermarket.

Various reasons, BAF for the most part, to get that Jubliee figure. One was in a box set a ways back, one for the Red Hulk, another for I think it was for the Apocalypse.... then another for the face off series and then there were plenty I passed on because I did not want the BAF (hit Monkey wave, Puck Wave and the various other single packs from Toy Biz that were not part of BAF.).. granted no one MADE me buy them but to get the BAF it was the option I had.
