I don't exactly have a problem with the concept of sequels per-se.

I've never understood railing against so-called "commerically-inclined" series. A good series is good, and a bad series is bad. Whether they're overtly selling something because of it shouldn't come into play. Some of my most endearing childhood memories are tied to running home from school so I'd be home in time to watch the "thirty-minute commercials" selling Transformers and GI Joe. And frankly so much of the anti-commercial writing and production is either such poor quality (you do need some commerciality to fund your budget) or so pretentiously full of its own "edginess" as to be unwatchable. And of course the opposite can also be true.
On a certain level all art is commercial. Someone has to pay for it to be made. But we're wildly off-topic...
So yeah, when do you think we'll start seeing the Star Driver PVC models for sale...? ^_^
