Why is that? I mean, I'm not a fan of the Beast Wars/Machines era, but I don't go around slating people for buying the toys, even though I wouldn't want them if they were being given away.
Just to be clear, I'm not having a go at anyone in particular, just making a general point.

Odd stuff like that, the black versions, etc I'm ok with.
I don't think I could ever put a KO "Reissue" in my collection though.
Here is something worth considering. Takara/Hasbro originally made the toys as a money making endevour. That being said, Takara/Hasbro has a reputation and company name to defend. Their product is held to a standard of quality. This standard of quality is especially important in complex engineering and detail oriented toys.
These "Factory" companies have only the pursuit of profit. Their name and or reputation is not at stake. They can produce inferior goods without reprocussions.
Does anyone not remember the "Reissue" Cyclonus a few years back? It looked great, really great, until you touched it. Then it broke 8 ways to Sunday. From what I understand, the KO Reissue Swoop is essentially garbage product as well.
Now we're ready to buy up more "Reissues"? Spend your money how you like. I don't really care. Buyer beware is strongly in effect here and unfortunately, 5 years down the road...someone, somewhere is going to get screwed over buying a "Vintage" toy.

I've been that fool too many times to count, which is one way I learned, which others will need to do as well.
