Re: BRAND NEW G1 Re-Issues!
Be careful with some of the ebay auctions you see, especially if they seem too good to be true. Its possible they're knockoffs. If you're just looking for toys your son can play with, knockoffs and bootlegs might not be a bad idea. The quality's not as good in most cases, but the cost is far lower, and in many cases, the mould is the same, if not similar. There are some awfully nice knockoffs out there, and some that are just downright interesting, with size changes and such.
In terms of reissues that have come out... Both Takara (Japan) and Hasbro (America) came out with their own reissues. For the most part, they had the same figures, and the real difference is the box. There's also been a bunch of variant re-issues from Takara and e-hobby, which didn't quite make it over here. If you're looking to get the same toy you grew up with, might want to go with the hasbro reissues (as they theoretically wont cost you as much) if you can find them, but even then the toys aren't going to be exact duplicates. There's also the classics line and titanium line in stores now, which contains some "reimaginings" of the old toys and characters.
But that's the way I see it.
