I got to miss the Transformers crossover and the ninja Force/everyone brainwashed by the brain scanner era! I got back into it a little with Devils Due, but soon lost interest. The movie I feel will be to "Matrix-y" and unrealistic. (read TOO futuristic).
One thing I do Love is the new Resolute series. That seemed pretty tight. what are your thoughts Craig?
I Doubt that. When the 25th hit, about 50% of the fan base hated them, and hasbro did what it always does.....keeps shoveling it until we accept it or risk losing the line. I hope you are right, however and they realize we stay with the GIJCC because we want vintage style figures.
But hey, when all this started, I was a 25th hater....now I'm more of a selective collector.

I haven't even bothered with the Resolute series Frank, and I'm still don't like the 25th figures, not only because of the construction, but the overall less realistic direction they are taking, and the infuriating and insulting rehashing of the same half a dozen characters over and over ad nauseum. I still buy the odd vehicle though (not that all that many new ones come along these days, and even most of those are rehashes of old vehicles). I truly believe Hasbro has run out of ideas, and are just squeezing the line for every last penny before it's canned.
