And to think I was about to declare my Transformer collecting over. I dont need these sets, but I do need Sky Lynx and Omega Supreme. I am interested to see what will be next. This gives me hope that we may yet see the rest of the Autobot cars and Dinobots.

As far as my knockoffs comment is concerned, I consider anything that is a "reissue" or otherwise to be a knock-off. My reasoning is because it is not the real thing, plus I hate the fact they reissue these things because it ruins the fun of collecting. Most of the people here have heard me say this before, so they tend to just think "ahh man...there goes CK again!" But as for gunman's comment, I assume he was referring to the differences between the TRU series and the originals. There were quite a few differences between the originals and TRU reissues (I'm speaking across all reissues) due to safety regulations in the U.S. since the toy's original domestic release. So I'm not sure what you meant by "you believe what you want I'll believe what I want." If you were referring to my initial comment, that's fine. Gunman had a bit more of a truth to be told with his comment, though.

"ahh man...there goes CK again!" I would not agree that the reissues fall under the same banner ad KO, but I can see why a purist would think that. The reissues take a lot of the hunt and value out of the originals. I personally like the reissues, it lets me get an exact replica of the original in good quality at a good price, new in the box.

Wasn't agreeing wit the knockoff comment. Was just saying they are pretty much Commemorative series. Wrote that just before I went to bed....
