Or the raging geewunners that think the same.
As a fan of both, I would generally prefer just 1 thread. But I'll gladly deal with 2 threads if it avoids pointless snipes like that above at those with different collection habits like the ultra G1 fans and the ultra bayverse fans.
Believe it or not, some of us like it all.
What 'raging geewunners'?
You call that a snipe but look at Linuawhatever's last few posts. Yes, I'm pissed off about it, but what I said stands.
The only insults I've seen thrown around here recently are from certsin people in the Studio Series thread talking about "man-children" being appeased by Hasbro's business decisions depriving them of some figure they want as if it's 'our' fault and comments on Studio Series 86 products being spam because it's not what they wamt to discuss, in a half-assed attempt to belittle the G1 crowd.
As I said in the other thread - I've no fight with Bayverse figures or their collectors. I have owned some of everything. I sold off my Bayverse guys, but I was perfectly fine plunking my cash down on them when I did. I just decided I'd rather focus my collection on the version of the franchise that brings me the most enjoyment, which just happens to be the original stuff. And I don't think that's at the expense of Bayverse fans, but the reverse definitely does not appear to be true.
I think there's enough to disagree on without hitting other members of the fandom. I think Armada and it's outlying suburbs are kiddie and only purchase a few 'universally cool' figures, but I don't begrudge the people who grew up with that version of the franchise, because that's their memories. I've even said I like it when they integrate those characters into "G1" because it makes the franchise a bigger sandbox for everybody. If there's integration of that kind in the next toyline, I will certainly partake.
