Detail casting aside, my Bumblebee's plastic was different to the original, but I wouldn't say it was of worse quality. If anything, the give in the yellow parts probably would prevent bits chipping off (which is probably the intent, given how thin\hollow G1 Bumblebee is)
I think your response to the reissues is more indicative of where you're at with your collecting. I know there are many G1 fans out there that will still pick these up just for the sake of completeness and comparison purposes. I doubt that any of the group buying for nostalgia reasons would even notice\care about the differences.

Really? Because when I first saw Starscream 2 weeks ago, both Walmarts I checked had him for $15. That's what he scanned up for, and he was the only G1 reissue I've seen there to date. I thought it was a good deal, but it never occurred to me that it might be an error.william-james88 wrote:LordBludgeon wrote:Well now I feel like I got ripped off... because I just picked up Hot Rod and Starscream for 29.99 each.

And I neglected to check online because I still have the Takara "Book-Reissue" Starscream that first came with that Megatron gun, but now I'm thinking I should've bothered.

I've only seen him for $35.99

If I had the receipt still, I would have proved it. I'm guessing it was an error at the Wal-Mart I got him from? I went through self checkout and both g1 Starscream and Hot Rod both scanned in at 29.99 and it said something on the screen when scanned like "TRANSFORMER". Maybe an employee assumed that they both were the same price and entered in a generic scan in title?
