    At this point, G1 reissues should almost be all profit

    They were never painted on the original?

    Nope. Nor on any of the reissues up to this point. They were annoying stickers that were hard to make stick because of the bridge of the nose.

    To be frank, they're never going to look and feel like vintage stickers because of the advances (or cutbacks ) of today's technology

    I don't think these will be THAT hard to find EVENTUALLY . The box IS the selling point for me at least but if I want to shell out 35-40 bucks for a SS, I'd rather it be for a loose original or at least the commemorative one where the plastic quality is better. It'll suck missing out on the Megatron though.

    What I’m most curious about is how well they adhere, I guess. The old G1 stickers were paper and stuck pretty well...some of the newer stuff is more of a chrome-like plastic film that is tougher to apply and tends to lift around the edges.

    If someone is STILL collecting McRibs, I'd suggest some more fiber in their diets..

    Yeah, man I totally get where you're coming from. I just meant to say it's hard to judge how good these stickers will be until we wait a few years time.

    I like to put future over my stickers to try to keep them from lifting.

    I have every G1 reissue of the seeker mold (except this newest one, still on pre order) and all have the same plastic quality. Who is saying this new one is randomly worse? None of the reviews I've seen have mentioned anything about plastic quality

    I hope Hasbro gives us the proper colors for G1 Astrotrain and Blitzwing.Plus since the line is doing good now,that mean more G1 reissues will be coming.That what exactly what John Warden and Ben Montano said at SDCC.
