Try "actually can't afford it". Not every single fan is sitting on a mountain of cash like you and everyone else who bought the Battle Masters box set seem to be. I'd have no problem dropping that much on toys at once... if I had the funds for it. And I'm damn sure I'm not alone in that. I'm not we...

If anyone else knows more; please do tell us.

Plus, looks like her kneesocks are printed high enough and similarly colored to the strikers so the paint rub won't be as big of an issue this time. God I hope so.
