This is one of my favorite parts about the Transformers line. The original G1 style toys. The nostalgia factor is overwhelming.
The Encore reissue series appears to be continuing. Maybe a Sixshot in the near future. Id like to see Hound, Mirage, Sunstreaker and the Arialbots come out in the encore line soon. I got bit by the reissue Transformer bug. All Decepticons Need more Autobots...

The problem is all they've got going for them is nostalgia. Not much there for those of not burdened by that particular emotion. That Prowl in your photo was my favorite as a kid, but now days, with me having classics Prowl, I wouldn't spend $10 on the G1 version. If I ever decide to clean up my parent's attic I'll keep an eye out for any of my old G1 stuff, and maybe pass it along to you if want.

you have to have an appreciation for things that have come before. that's all. the origins, the history etc. nostalgia can be part of it.
its all good though. i know many share your opinion. many others do enjoy the real "classic G1" transformers.

Been building my Gestalt Collection the past few months
I have all of them sans the Seacons and Pretenders monsters. I am working on completing all of them with all their individual guns etc. Just completed Menesor, Predaking and Computron Need a small gun for Abominus, Hot Spot and his waist piece for Defensor, and some parts for Devastator. |

I've resisted this stuff so far, but I might cave when this bad boy hits, even at that price . . .
