Oh absolutely. We all have different standards which determine what we think is good, bad, perfect etc. I don't mind if people want to claim that a toy is "perfect," but I'm curious to know what criteria they used to determine their rating of "perfect." My criteria is based on comparison with the originals, but of course this is just my own personal standards.

True. So even if a reissue is the same quality as the original, and say I rate it 100%... what happens to a reissue that's better than the original? Do I rate it 110%? That's impossible! It's probably more accurate for me to say that a reissue that equals the quality of the original completely fulfills my expectations for that toy. A reissue that improves over the original exceeds my expectations for that toy! And indeed, sometimes I will only get a reissue if it - to me - shows a substantial improvement over the original, like reissue Waspinator and Dinobot.

I wish they'd reissue GPS toys without the crappy gold plastic!
