So recently I was perusing ebay for reissue transformers. It's been awhile but what immediately jumped out at me were the 1984 G1 knock offs. I was amazed to see wheeljack, smokescreen, sunstreaker, hound, optimus prime etc., many of them range in price from $27 up to $70. After watching some reviews on youtube I was amazed at the overall quality of not only the toys themselves but the packaging as well.
I started collecting transformers in 2007 when the movie came out. I had tons of them however my heart was and always has been with my original transformers from back in the day. What I wouldn't give to be able to go back, walk into a store in 1984 and buy a brand new toy in it's original packaging.
I feel as though that's what these KOs are to me...a chance to go back and live that experience. Yes, what they're doing is shady but I can't seem to help myself.
Thoughts?
