Over the last six weeks, both the public and American Mensa members from around the country cast nearly 78,000 votes on 64 toys in four regions — timeless, pre-1950s, 1950-1980 and 1981-present. Each region was made up of 16 competitors, seeded 1 through 16, based on the strength of their résumés.
In the first round, the top seed from a given category faced off against the 16th seed from the same region; the second seed challenged the 15th seed, and so on. During the sixth week, the winner was chosen by you, the members...but which was it?
Transformers
1980-Present - Seed 4
The boys' version of the Cabbage Patch Kids, Transformers set the toy world on its ear in 1984. Anyone and everyone just had to have these "robots in disguise." They could transform into everyday objects, usually vehicles or weapons, and a cartoon series and, eventually, films followed, turning a whole new generation on to these toys.

Even Bronies are smart enough to know which brand has the better toys. It's more the fiction that gets their attention (and even that varies to significant degree).Bumblevivisector wrote:Yeah, Lego deserved to be the closest call.
And here we were worried the poll would be spammed by Bronies; those numbers seem to imply that word never even made it into their circles. Or maybe most of them just care about the cartoon more than the toys, IDK.

What was this competition for, why did it happen and why should i care?

I dunno, as much as I love Transformers, I still think Lego deserved to win. I mean, you can build a Transformer out of Lego, what does that say? The possibilities of Lego are endless.
But, as a TF fan, yay!
