15 Years Ago - TRU Commemorative Series
 

I was on an old HD looking through pics and I found these and I thought I would share.

This was from back in 2002, when the Transformers Commemorative Series was in full swing at TRU.

Hard to believe it's already been 15 Years!!!

Man I wish I had gotten into collecting back then...

It's so funny, I remember when I first saw them in stores I thought "wow, those prices are pretty high, hopefully they go on sale" and only bought a few of them. I didn't like some of the changes to the weapons--size, no chrome, etc. That said, over time I did go on to get most of them and TBH a fair amount of my G1s are actually reissues because they are so minty fresh!

Looking back, I am so glad they did reissue so many of them at once. It seems like it's been a while since we've gotten a reissue that hasn't been done before (well maybe to some extent the coneheads, but it's usually Blaster, Insecticons, over and over again)...can I say I miss Encore???

What is it, 20 years and then the reissues officially become vintage? lolzzzz

Cool, I can vaguely remember seeing those at the time. But I wasn't collecting or paying much attention to TF at the time.

Man what did I miss????

Same here bro! But at that time, I totally forgot about Transformers

That or they will reissue the MP-11's as vintage and jack up the prices :lol

Was going to school back then and had to pass on most of those. Sigh.

I kisy tember seeing the reissues and going wow! I don't remember them being this blocky and clunky. Keep in mind I was already into beaat wars and the original robots on disguise and loved the posability.
