The same thing with me I loved Star Wars but knew it was dying down for a while after Return of the Jedi came out.
I then seen the G1 cartoon the week it came on as a miniseries(When it first aired the 3 part "More then meets the eye")
I had to get these I said and was hooked from then on[/quote]

Benson Yee was a Star Wars-obsessed kid when something new caught his eye in a toy store during a family vacation: Transformers — “robots in disguise” — that changed into vehicles or other objects

Other than Yee, the whole article is about those "I'm a super fan, I watched the show when I was a kid in the 80's, broke/lost/got rid of my toys, and have no idea bout what has been going on with Transformers since 1988" people, otherwise referred to as "Bandwagoners"
