It's been five months now and we still haven't got any new Retro Transformers since Soundwave and Blaster. Do you know what's going on? Did Hasbro get tired of the Retro line? I heard rumors of us getting Optimus Prime, Ramhorn, and Bombshell, but still haven't seen any screenshots. It makes me wonder if they will be the last of the line. I thought they would do better for the 40th Anniversary.

@@80sTransfromersFan Where did you hear that they will be released in the fall? I haven't even seen any leaks of these figures yet. I'm disappointed that they will be releasing less Retro figures on the 40th anniversary. In January I was confident that we could get Retro Astrotrain, but now I'm less confident. Do you think they could release some new Retro figures around September 17th since that's the 40th anniversary of the first G1 episode? Is Hasbro known for releasing products on anniversary dates?

Got this and was so excited... wow, what a disappointment. They're trying to recreate the show's coloring, fantastic, just forgot to... have the wings in the correct position! How come no one has mentioned this? Crazy. Also, the missiles suck, and some quality of life improvements to make the massive kibble for this jet less is sorely lacking. At least it looks good in jet m..... how big is that gap? Wow. Might have to shave the pegs down? Really unsatisfied with this, unfortunately, I never had Thundercracker as a kid and was looking to gaze fondly over a cool figure. The face paint could be sharper too honestly, and the spray detail over the die cast nose beams is not great. Nice comparison to G1, thanks for that, good video!

I couldn't agree more about leaving the worn and sometimes skewed original stickers on the 80's toy. I think it gives it more nostalgia that a kid 40 years ago applied those themselves. And it gives the toy that played patina.

Thanks for the video, I enjoyed it. Yeah, I am looking for the perfect Aquaman. Ok, not perfect but at least good enough for my Justice League. Just an hour ago, I saw the Endless Winter Aquaman and I was torn about getting it. I want a beardless Aquaman, but I prefer the look of the orange armor as well as the gold collar, belt and trident of Endless. For the trident in particular, I feel there's a big difference. I usually prefer brighter colors but for some reason I prefer the orange on Endless, looks less plasticky. I might have jumped on the Classic Aquaman initially, but it's really the heads stopping me and making me hesitate to this day. I plain don't like them. You're so right the Endless Winter's head is better although I don't like the cross eyes. So overall I think, my perfect Aquaman would be the Endless Winter body with the Flashpoint Flash head... which was never available in Québec unfortunately. The only thing I would really miss from the classic Aquaman would be the swimming hands. Cheers!

Over here in Germany Thundercracker and the other seeker jets were very very hard to find. In 1985 when I started playing with TF it was nearly impossible to find figures from the previous year. Never saw Megatron, Optimus, the seeker Jets or my favorite charakter Soundwave in any toy store. (But I had a Skywarp. A friend of mine brought him back from his italy trip in the holidays). Here in Germany characters like the Dinobots (excludet swoop), the deluxe Insecticons, Stunticons and Aerialbots were widespreaded. But later in 1986 TF had become more popular to the kids. In 1989, when I was already 13 years old, the Mexican IGA Transformers came to German toy stores. I didn't care that I was already 13 years old when I finally saw figures like Thundercracker, Inferno, Optimus, Ratchet, the last three of the Constructicons that I'd never managed to find, Thrust, Astrotrain, Blitzwing, and many more figures on the shelves. It had just been my birthday and I had 450 German Marks available to buy TF with and that's what I did.

Thank you for the stroll down memory lane. Mirage always looked better as an indy car vs his robot mode. It was the fact he transformed that put him and that G1 wish list in my hand to amass the collection I once had before our house foreclosed and everything had to go from a 3 1 1 rent house into storage as we moved into a 2 1 apt. Countless rains, floods additional moves to other storages, Apts and houses everything was ruined by water or being crushed and trampled on trying to salvage dad's 2000+ soggy record collections. The weight of those records collapsed my boxes underneath and that smell of wet cardboard (like the memories of my collections) will always remain in my mind as there's no way to afford replacing everything I once had. 10k now for the Flagg alone let alone the size of the house needed to be able to display such a collection. Thank you all for putting the past right in front of us that have lost what we once had. Memories fade but you and others like you that keep posting these videos allow us to remember what once was and how it used to be before having to let go for what ever reason. Cheers!!
