This is standard bushiness practice in toy (an other) industries. Companies release "Product Line X" with a bang, claiming innovation and new features, then, after popularity wanes, they replace it with something else. Elite replaced N-Stike and 2.0 will likely replace Elite. Just like Under Amour replaced their "Mirco G" midsole foam with "Charged" and now "HOVR". It's about generating excitement and buzz. Lego makes a new police station set ever couple years instead of keeping the same one in production.

Consume, consume, consume, that's what they want us to do. The important thing is to not get caught up in it. Don't feel like you need to have the latest stuff just because it's new or to complete a set.

For example: Do you want a Flyte because you actually like what it does? Do you see mod potential? Would you actually use it? That's great, go buy one! But if you just want it because it's a cheap but you already have a Styfe, is it really necessary? Remember the Sryfe was $15 at one time for a far superior product.
