Got this idea from this thread -- how much of your G1 collection is pure original G1, and how much of it is reissues?
Let's set some parameters for this thread:
* We're not looking at variants
* We're only looking at reissues where you do not have the original G1 toy for - if you have both the original and reissue, then we're not counting that toy-character
* We're just looking at Hasbro G1 please
Example
I have 401/450 G1 Transformer toys (making my G1 collection 89% complete). Out of those 401 G1 TFs, 16 of them are reissues where I do _NOT_ have the original G1s. Thus 3.99% (so that falls in the "0-5%" option for the purposes of this thread's poll) of my G1 collection are reissues where I do not have the originals.
e.g. I have 6 different G1 Bumblebees, two are originals and four are reissues (all variants) - for this thread they all count as x1 toy-character (i.e. 1984 Bumblebee).
My reissues where I do not have originals are:
1984 Jazz - TFC and Commemorative Series
1984 Prowl - 1990 Classic reissue
1984 Sideswipe - 1991 Classic reissue
1984 Megatron - 2001 reissue (used to have original but it got stolen)
1985 Red Alert - Commemorative Series reissue
1985 Smokescreen - TFC reissue
1985 Tracks - 1991 Classic reissue
1985 Perceptor - TFC reissue (offloaded original to another OTCA member after getting reissue)
1985 Ultra Magnus - Commemorative Series reissue (original was stolen)
1985 Sky Lynx - Encore reissue (original never sold in Australia)
1986 Galvatron - reissue & eHobby (original stolen)
1986 Dead End - 1990 Classic reissue
1986 Wildrider - 1990 Classic reissue
1987 Targetmaster Hot Rod - TFC reissue (original never sold in AU)
1987 Targetmaster Kup - TFC reissue (original never sold in AU)
1990 Action Master Optimus Prime - New Year Special reissue
Note: I'm not saying that they're anything bad or wrong with having reissues - I loves 'em. Just curious to know what percentage of our G1 collections are reissues.Feel free to discuss your thoughts about originals and reissues.
