After reading my Runabout<\/a> review, a lot of you were surprised or confused by my \"only one version of a mold\" thing. What, you haven't read every review we've ever posted? You don't remember the review from September 12, 2006<\/a>? I count on your obsessive completist mentality to allow me to keep half-assing these reviews!<\/p>\n

Anyway, why do I only buy one version of any given Transformers mold? Because for me, it's more about the engineering than the character, so if I have it once, I'm good. That's why I was fine with Sparkcrusher<\/a> and Shadow Striker<\/a> instead of Warpath and Wheelie, and why I didn't buy Generations<\/i> Blurr (because I already had Dorifuto-san<\/a>). So not buying more than one version of a Transformer mold is my own rule, my own personal \"I before E except after C.\"<\/p>\n

But hey, here's an OAFEnet fun fact: there are 167 words in English that have the \"cei\" in them (and only six of them in common use); 923 words have \"cie\" and 2,606 words have \"ei\" after something OTHER than C; that's 21 times as many<\/b> words that break the rule as follow it, meaning it's not much of a rule at all, now is it? And similarly, here's are a bunch of Transformers I've bought that use the same mold as ones I already owned:<\/p>\n
