I had a moment of nostalgia the other day over the old G1 Transformers I had when I was young. I went looking for cheap knock offs and saw they had these 40th re-issues at Walmart. I impulse bought this Optimus and the Soundwave. Then I bought a cheap original Ratchet on eBay. Man I know I am really going to miss a few of the differences from the g1 die cast Optimus Prime I got for Christmas way back then but this is pretty cool. Might see if anyone is selling decal reprints to put the decals inside the trailer. Yeah, I know they were going for cartoon accuracy with this 40th but man, that trailer needs the decals in my opinion. The terrible wheels etc, I can live with I think.

@0525ohhwell All of the reissues have the exact same diecast part as the originals. You can find sticker sheets on Ebay or Toyhax for your Optimus. And congratulations on your purchases!

As a newcomer to Voltron, I personally don't need electronics. Just a transforming toy with lots of articulation, for cool and iconic poses. The electronics thing is just an added bonus.

I believe they done a great job remaking this retro toy,better than a movie remake i can tell you that man! The details like the wheels doesn't turn that great etc i believe are kinda nitpicks for me! As a kid i didn't own the original and this time now its like a dream come true,i am going to pick mine in a couple of days and i am hype as hell! They didn't show much attention to this details because it is a reissue of the classic for collector's.The biggest complaint i have about this set is the fact that they have it close to 100 euros on my region,really close to the studio series 86 which was 110 from hasbro pulse and also bought it! The price tag should be to 60-65 i believe because it is the retro representation and not a modern one! For me in general is like a love letter from hasbro and i supported them with all my heart big price tag or not! Awesome review man thanks for sharing with us! 😉
