Re: [TOY] Question about re-issue Transformers

In my opinion, the reissues are 98% as good as the original figures, just a
lot cheaper to buy! The slight differences are things like Starscream's
missiles being longer now, to comply with new toy standards. This to me is a
minor change, not worth moaning about, and I love getting the reissues. I
love to imagine the faces of all the rip-off sellers trying to get £70-80
for a C-6 figure with missing parts, when they realise the same figure mint
and complete can now be brought for about £20.

Bottom line: If you're keen for everything to be IDENTICAL to the originals
(inc. things like missile length etc), then stick to them, but be prepared
to fork out lots of dosh. If you're not that bothered, but still want a high
quality figure of your fave characters, go with the reissues! Why not buy
one and find out? :-)
