Never met someone who never had any Minibots before! :eek: Being smaller and cheaper figures, most of us probably collected more of them with the boxed figures possibly being a rarer treat. A typical Autobot Car was about $20 which by today's standards would be around the price of a Voyager Class figure. A Minibot would be roughly the equivalent of a Legends Class figure today. I think for most folks, carded figures were easier to collect because they were cheap enough for mum or dad to just buy you one on impulse, whereas boxed toys were often things that you had to ask for and wait in advance (e.g. birthdays, Xmases etc.). And even if my parents had been the kind to buy me boxed toys on impulse, I probably would've wanted to collect the Mini-Bots anyway because I still liked them as toys (and as characters). :) Similar to how I will still collect smaller/cheaper Legends Class figures as well as Deluxes, Voyagers etc. :cool:
