I've now got a small collection of Star Wars and Transformers toys laying around my study. Not sure why, but it just sort of brings back the nostalgia, as well as the new versions looking a lot better than the old models in most cases.
It is amazing what Hasbro have done with the Transformers and Star Wars range, though the latter could do with a lot more of the decent figures; where's Empire Luke with the black suit or a decent Han Solo with the waistcoat rather than the Hoth coat?
I found a small Megatron the other day in Tesco that looks so much better than the larger sized one I used to have as a kid, they've managed to fit more detail and make it look more like the cartoon Megatron than the old models ever did, all in a much smaller space.
However, the best version of Megatron and Optimus Prime I've seen are These ones . So tempted to hunt them down.
Anyone else found themselves collecting or pining after toys like this?
I always remember at a school fare a boxed Millennium falcon sold for 50p. Someone got a bargain there! I tried persuading my mum to buy me it but I already had too much "crap"
I too used to have all those toys, Snow Speeders, AT-STs, even the hard-to-get Emperor. Of course, in those days everyone sold them on after they'd finished with them. Oh, how foolish!
Still, the new Star Wars figures have more detail and more articulation points, so it's not all bad.
