The Masterpiece versions are really nice, but limited in their appeal. If you're getting into collecting again off a sense of nostalgia, you might find that you want more than just those characters who have appeared in Masterpiece format.
I'd say that the Encore (or TRU/SDCC) reissues will remind you of what you had better than MPs, and will fit better with the near inevitable influx of newer toys that you're likely to end up buying.
See: Classics/Universe/Generations/Reveal The Sheild lines for some picks.
assembling a Neo-G1/TF:TM cast. Please PM if you have (or know of) the following at a reasonable price: Classics or Henkei Astrotrain, Sunstreaker, Sideswipe, or 3rd Party iGear Ratchet and Ironhide.
Also looking for Universe Repugnus and Overbite, Frostbite and Longhorn and any Webdiver toys.
