Encore#11 Skywarp & Thundercracker. Encore#12 Metroplex

actually none, I don't care how much you all hate me for it, G1 toys just aren't that good. Might get a Prime but that'd be it)

I completely agree. Compared to contemporary Transformers, G1 Transformers are brittle unarticulated crapbricks. But for those of us who grew up with G1, it's all about nostalgia.

...you turbo-revvin' young punk!

Yeah, for me its a nostalgia thing.... and easing the pain over not having a Metroplex myself. I was sooo close to buying a knockoff one, and will definitely get a couple of these (one misb, one for play).

I can't read Japanese, unfortunately, to send feedback, but gee I hope TakaraTomy gets a lot of positive emails about bringing these back. Its great to see them supporting us collectors, as well as the mass market. Hasbro could learn from their wisdom.

Suppose thats why my younger siblings who didn't grow up with Beast Wars think those toys are crap in comparison to the movie line.

Its not much to do with nostalgia but rather when they were made. The Roman Colosseum doesn't look that great when compared to modern stadiums but it was a an awesome architectural achievement with the technology they had 2088 years ago. Just because in the 20/21st century we can make bigger and better stadiums, it doesn't make the Colosseum anything less than a gargantuan achievement.

Oh kup, you are so wise. I totally agree.

Guess I have much learning to do :P
