Look at what's shelf-warming atm. It's a lot of the non-Generations stuff for little kids. The Generations stuff was better (I don't know if I'd say "good"), but they've clearly outsold the kiddified stuff, and it can't just be the adult collectors who are dictating this market. IMO most kids are still preferring the Generations stuff because kids don't like to be "talked down" to. This is something that G1 voice actor Michael McConnohie (Tracks, Cosmos) praised G1 for compared to many other franchises in the 80s; it didn't talk down to kids.
Imagine you're an 8 year old. You walk into a toy store and you want an Age of Extinction Drift toy. Your mum has given you $30 to go and buy a toy. You see the Flipchanger for $20 and the Generations Deluxe figure for $25. I know which one
I would choose.
