Re: Thoughts on new Retro G1 releases?
The only one I've ever picked up was the last Starscream because of it on liquidation and came with the mini Megatron, and I just said "why not".
I don't really have nostalgia affecting me outside of simply enjoying TFs as a whole and fine with newer versions that provides the proper look with proper articulation, which to me is the important part as even 40 years ago, I hated the bricks and lack of articulation we had... with some Gobots and of course Jetfire being the better figures due to this. And aside the Dinobots that had decent (for the time) articulation, I never managed to get a set, but POTP (and now my GCreations) filled that slot.
That said, looking at this new round of retros, I will say that I not a fan of these boxes at all, I always considered a HUGE part of the retro thing was the old school box art and design.
The price thing is all about Hasbro knows that it can milk the fans (who else are going to buy these), and it's sad to see them being so darn nasty about it.
