Have they? Once you calculate for inflation:

With prices looking the way they are what will they be like once they start the movie series up again? Will we get to the point where voyagers are £45 and think that's normal?

Street Fighter II on SNES was about £60 new, and it's weird to think I paid about £40 for Mega Man 2 on my NES back then when the rom file unzipped is only 256 kilobyte which is an insanely tiny amount of data compared to today's games. And yet I still enjoy it. I like some modern games but I generally find myself playing more retro type stuff anyways. A good game is a good game no matter the age.Agent 53 wrote:I'd rather a Backpack than the roof to be a mass of folding that's a nightmare to manage and never fits back together.

Oddly I didn't have much trouble with him. It took time but I enjoyed it.

I didn't gave too much trouble with mixmaster, I found alternators wheeljack much more annoying. Still I wonder if they ever had any plans to do movieverse characters that actually never appeared in the movies...like wreckage, now that was one cool toy, as was his bludgeon repaint.
