    Hell, what if they just dumped all their current lines & re-released the G1 line all_over_again... Now that would be cool! (It'd be like waking up in '84 all over again... )

    & all of a sudden my dream's over

    Forget the greenie crap, styrofoam is in heavy use everywhere else still. Just look at all the boxed electronics and packing peanuts.

    EDIT: And it was just as hard to lift a toy back then as you had to open the box, then open the sealed inner bubble, and also make sure you got the accessories, etc. With the carded toys today, just ripp open and take the insert with everything tied to it.

    As for the boxed voyagers and up, they're just too large to steal.

    I dunno. I managed to steal Soundwave as a kid

    (I'm not proud of it, just saying. It happened... I can't change that)

    I was meaning todays toys. Much larger. Soundwave would be deluxe sized today.

    But speaking of size, I'd rather scout/deluxe sized toys, they have more detail in them as opposed to the vast plastic wastelands and large rattly plastic wheels that make up todays larger toys.

    I got my first hasbro no twist ties toy today. It was a very pleasant experience. Trying to get TFA Cybertron Prime right though was as annoying as trying to get thru twist ties. I'd almost be inclined to trade the twist ties for a more seamless alt mode.
