Takara's line-up was much better, I thought, even though I didn't much care for Galvatron.J.D.http://www.blogger.com/profile/04765445278792289718noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5699099469263126223.post-54583562629905030772006-09-21T13:04:00.000-07:002006-09-21T13:04:00.000-07:00I will own him -- oh yes!

And it's about time they started charging sane prices for the re-issues. $35 for a $10 toy was ridiculous, and they paid for that mistakes with a bunch of shelfwarmers. Hopefully we'll see more!Kneon Transitthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16549486280271921487noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5699099469263126223.post-1625511186355861742006-09-13T11:23:00.000-07:002006-09-13T11:23:00.000-07:00The truth is that Hasbro kind of screwed up the cl...The truth is that Hasbro kind of screwed up the classic reissue line by polluting it with toys that simply would not sell. People bought Optimus, they bought Starscream and probably some Jazz or Thundercracker... but Hoist? Grapple? No way. Soundwave should have been at the forefront of their reissues. <br><br>As it is, I'm inclined to buy it, but I still have the Soundwave I grew up with, and I'm disinclined to replace that.<br><br>Maybe I'll get this as a sort of satellite to my collection, kind of like Cybertron or Energon toys. It can come to work with me, or decorate the kitchen.Botchhttp://www.botchthecrab.comnoreply@blogger.com
