My point exactly.
If it sounds like I'm trying t rain on people's parades, then sorry. But if you look at what I was saying, my motivation is that I don't want people to feel disappointed. That is literally all. If I'm proven wrong, I'd be pleasantly surprised! (big part of why I tend towards pessimism. ) Again, speculation is plenty fun, and I've done my share in the last few days. But a voice of caution is warranted in a public forum, and shouldn't be stomped on either. And I agree, the time IS ripe, and was ripe years ago, even, and at this point, it's like they forgot us. OR, they know the thing to do is a thorough revamp of the line, invalidating a lot of old models. But such an undertaking pushes back the time table even further. For example, time was ripe for the elves for a long time, and look at those model ranges they finally got in the span of 2 years.
I'm now fantasizing about how they might completely transform the Seraphon model range in the distant future. I even want to do fan art to try my hand on what AOS 2.0 style Seraphon might look like. But like an old and inscrutable Slann, I'm looking at all this from the long view.
