1) I was born in 1976 and I am pained every time I see yet another Optimus Prime... or Bumblebee... or Starscream. The nostalgia train must have moved on by now, right?
2) “Wow! <insert 3rd party figure name here> is the best version of this character, ever! I love how they... wait... now <insert another 3rd party company name here> has their own version of this character that looks even better”!
3) Scale issues still bug me (but the last couple of years have gotten better)
4) I like Rescue Bots way more than I should... ugh.
5) Someone mentioned scalpers? Totally! If you’re buying these and not immediately tearing open the packaging to transform/pose/combine with other TFs... or wrapping them up for a loved one, I question your fandom.
