I just don't understand your anger. Or anyone's for that matter. Gold Drive isn't keeping Tridoron from happening, or even changing his release venue so don't infer that. Gold Drive is an incredibly easy repaint that requires no new molding at all to release. Tridoron is a mostly new sculpt with a ton of brand new accessories and it's the final form of a rider from a show that ended nearly a year ago, it was never not going to be an exclusive.

But it is an exclusive. Which only means it's marginally more difficult to get than a retail release. Oh wait, no it isn't. Retail releases require you to fight at specific and often inconvenient times to pre-order something through a retailer who may or may not have provided enough stock to cover all those interested.

With exclusives you just order through the middleman and done. They are a little more expensive initially, but the ease of obtaining them greatly outweighs that in my opinion. I just don't see why people throw a tantrum when they find out a figure is going to be exclusive rather than retail, frankly it just isn't a big deal.
