Heh, I wish. You shouldn't make such sweeping claims, with distribution being as shoddy and regional as it is.

Dude, I had four Transformers. Every other transforming 'bot I had was a cheap knockoff or a Convertor.

Bit bummed that it sounds like the Classics aren't in the same scale as the masterpiece... but whatcha gonna do.
Anyone know how these new combiner Wars are gonna match up? Will that Superion be tall enough to justify in a MP display?
How about all these 3rd party companies.. are they all trying to match masterpiece or are they going to be hit or miss too?
For that matter... How are they even able to do that?? I'm surprised there isn't some copyright something or other that gets the hammer dropped on them.
How do they compare? They look just as expensive (if not more) then the 'legitimate' figures...

I know how convoluted the Transformers line can be: it's been going non-stop for over 30 years! Thankfully we have plenty of resources around the net, I'll share some of the ones I use on a regular basis:
TFU.info: a figure database with most of the figures listed, including accessories. It even lists Gobots (now part of Hasbro ever since Tonka was bought out in the 1990's) and even has a figure identification tool.
TFWiki.net: the main wiki, with more info than you can shake a stick at, including the really obscure stuff.
The Seibertron.com Galleries: Chuckfull of photos taken by the webmaster himself.
... and of course the forum where you are now
The G1 scene is already messy with Generations, Masterpiece, 3rd Party and then some, but if you manage to organise it it's not so bad. If you need help, go ahead and ask, that's what we're here for

Hasbro recently released some updated BW figures in their classics line such as Rattrap, Waspinator, and Rhinox. You may still be able to find Rattrap & Rhinox at Target/Walmart/TRU. All three are really well done updates of the figures.
