Unfortunately, the distribution was a bit poor and some were hard to find.

Unfortunately, that's still the case.

Universe 2.0 and RTS yielded by far the best Classics style figures, both official and 3rd party, with high points being Sideswipe/Sunstreaker, Jazz, City Commander and Protector for Magnus and Hot Rod, and the FP Combaticons to go with the ROTF Bruticus. Of course, there were some strikes to go with those home runs. Prowl/Bluestreak had massive paint issues and Ironhide/Ratchet were underwhelming at best but at least you could actually find them at retail. The best time to be a Classics collector was U2.0 and RTS.

On one hand, we're getting impressive engineering, insane levels of retooling, and just about character/type of figure we could want.... but on the other hand, there also seems to be annoying budget cuts, quality issues, prices that seem to rise every year, and just plain confusing design choices. It's kinda like they're trying to pass off all the bad with fanwank, but man is it good fanwank.

By the time the HftD and first "Generations" branded stuff came out, I was still pumped for them, but the general feeling of fun coupled with nostalgia had diminished by then. Plus, that's when we really started getting into the realm of characters being done more than once, whereas earlier on (outside of Megs, Prime, and Springer if you counted the Botcon one), things felt kind of fresh and easy.
Things are great now, but I'm not sure that initial feeling will come back for me.
