I'm depressed....

[fisheye]

Because of the excitement and sudden reliving of my childhood seeing the new Transformers movie created in me, my wife went out and bought me a Transformer (Decepticon Brawl) to make me happy. Unfortunately it had the opposite effect for whilst handling the toy it was hard for me not to compare it to my original first generation Autobot Hound Transformer that my dad bought be 22 years ago....

Now that was a toy.... real die cast metal parts, real rubber ties and suspension and a heat activated hologram sticker!!! The modern day one I now have is completely made of plastic and feels like it's gonna break each time I "transform" it. And to make matters worse I have no idea where my original Transformer has gone.
How bloody depressing

I feel you bro, I really do. Your wife should've bought you a Barbie instead.


But you got one thing right though: toys are shit today. Viva Las Lego baby!

I saw the movie last week, I loved it to bits. Most of my mates have seen it twice.

I then went to my mate's place last night where we played the new transformers game on PC, then put on the original transformers movie, then he pulled out a large bucket of the original toys and we played with them for hours.

It really brought back some memories. All the toys were in perfect condition, even the heat activated stickers still worked!

Which part didn't you understand? It looks like pretty simple English to me. I know you're from the states but you still should be able to cope with it.

The "huh" was with regard to the heat activating stickers still working. My transformers stickers would stay activated permanently after a few weeks

I thought I was wasting my time rubbing the sticker, but it worked perfectly on all of his transformers!

Re: I'm depressed....

I dont have any of my toys. No idea what happened to them.

I remember I had the original lead paint Voltron, damn I loved that one!

Only the yellow tiger survived like 12 years ago...found it in the backyard while getting rid of some plants.
