    I like the term myself. I usually just use Classics in casual conversation though.

    Truth is I used this acronym for my take of Trypticon, but later on I've changed it to Classics or Universe. Because even though it was a clever acronym it was starting to get really old, really fast.

    Just call it whatever you want. It is your toys, you make your own definitions.

    Haha! Wow! I just started typing that because it was easier than typing "can't wait to add that to my classics/henkei/universe/generations collection". Some people liked it. Wasn't trying to start something. Didn't realize it was so "stupid" and "lame". Sorry guys.

    Well, as much as I don't care about the term, someone writing CHUG is better than getting the inevitable nerdrage response of "There is no longer a classics line, if you are referring to GENERATIONS, it will be out sometime this summer" when someone asks "When are classics returning?"

    But, I think it is pretty damn clever, considering that Hasbro will probably change it another 5 times by the time we get all the figures.

    I think some of the comments in here are pretty funny (funny in a good way). I LOVE Paxtin's post! But some people seem to have straight up hatred and anger towards it. My collection consists of Classics, Henkei and Universe figures. I plan on picking up a lot of the generations stuff, so I figured I'd make up an acronym instead of always typing it all out. Ah well, can't please everyone. I used it maybe twice myself. Much like Smog, I never really expected it to catch on.

    I would pay money if someone asked the Hasbro panel at Botcon about new CHUG figures, just to see the look on Aaron Archer's face.

    I don't like CHUG..but call it whatever you wanna call it. I think I'll settle for Universe for now.

    So if I don't have any of the initial Classics figures, I have HUGs?

    Excuse me while I go lovingly embrace that portion of my collection.

    Classics 3.0 is better for Generations. Or just Classics.

    I tried to make CHUG happen. I used it.

    *Ren and Stimpy Horse Voice:

    No sir, didn't like it.

    It's hard for me to not say classics; so that's what I'll stick with.

    I'm glad I'm on an internet board, because honestly, if I hadn't read that explanation I would two years from now be going 'what?'

    I guess the term applies, but I just call them classics line. I know that the Generations really messes with it since we'll see mixes of lines from every aspect, but CHUG can work as well.

    Just now came to this thread to figure out with the hubub with CHUG is...and I gotta say, it's quite dumb. It was always just Classics to me, why can't it stay that way? You peeps can call it what you will, but they're still Classics nonetheless.

    I always will refer to them as classics. If some dumb ass wants to correct me he can shove it. If I say classics I am sure everyone on here will know what I mean. As fas as chug goes, I think it's lame but so are most people on the internet. ;)
