Again the story for Brain Attack was just Stop The Brain and for IFB was just Stop The Kaiju, that's it nothing else, they can add Nex and Stringer easy plus there was no need for a HF Episode at all, they could saved a lot of money not making at those at all and it would have been a lot better as well if they haven't add minifigure with the beast.Also before I any anything about molds, how much is it? Exact costs for a single mold are not known, except that it's considerably more than $20,000. My point is really that it doesn't matter whether the new helmets resemble the old ones the cost of nine new precision steel molds is still going to be considerably higher than the cost of seven. And the TV episodes are just as important from a marketing standpoint as shorter commercials would be, regardless of their entertainment or storytelling value. Being able to give each and every character a moment in the spotlight is important on that level even if they don't get ANY measurable character development. Don't get me wrong I also wish we could get Nex and Stringer machines and mini-robots. I'd love if Stringer appeared in the Combat Machine instead of Rocka, and if one of Evo's machines like the one that comes with Queen Beast had been colored orange and given to Nex. I loved that the Breakout sets were able to feature all nine heroes as well as a villain for each. I'm just pointing out reasons why they might have been cut. Nine main protagonists is a lot for a single year of sets, even in a minifigure-based theme. I agree. Although it saddens me that this may be the last we see of the two characters
