I've already whined about this, but I'll add some more to the pile. Not at all interested in o-ring redo's. Yes, I will likely pick and choose a few once they hit B&M, but I'll do so begrudgingly as this feels like a lazy cash grab attempt. A smart one as fans eat up nostalgia like it's garmonbozia but still.

Lost molds are a non-issue today. I still remember people saying back in the 90s that Soundwave would NEVER be reissued because the molds were destroyed. They're not as expensive to make anymore, there's way too much technology available around, and if Hasbro won't do, the fans will. I'm sure Hasbro will recreate whatever they need given their business strategy.
