Glad to see I'm not the only one that's been "convinced" to be more select in what I buy now. I was afraid that I was getting too bored and bitter, but no, it's what's been put on offer that has changed, and thus I've reacted to it.

I loved the cybertron line. Pretty great quality all-round. I never had any issues with paint apps with any of the toys, they all look great. I have no regrets in buying most of that line (I've mould completed it). It pretty much set the standard to me on what I should be expecting from subsequent modern lines.

I'm only going to buy a very few select figures from universe (most will be henkei), and I've decided to steer clear of the animated toys altogether. I do like the animated cartoon very very much, I'm just very far from impressed with how the toys have turned out.

I'm shifting mostly now to the encore line instead.
