Reboot sucks. Mattel made a lousy move. It's a sad day, etc. etc. All the fans seem to agree on that. Right.
But again, I ask all the protesters: do you really think those cheaply made Revolution toys with spiked wheels and faulty sets were any better? I really don't think so.
The internet (especially YouTube) is overwhelmed with reboot-hate reactions. And at the same time I hear only praises for Mattel's current line, particularly the talking engines... But look at them. Look at this cheap toy:
Is this Gordon? Is this realistic? Only if you have generous imagination. Ugly design, ugly number, ugly red button, ugly wheels, ugly hinges, ugly everything. This is a cheap crap. Also, they sell (for years!) crappy sets with totally unrealistic flying engines, walking bridges, even XL sets that do not work as advertised for USD 50, USD 100... And people were buying that crap, not much negative opinions were recorded. Why?
I agree: reboot sucks. But the current production line sucks at least as much as reboot. These cheaply made toys are already unrealistic and bad. Just forget about them and about the reboot. Hopefully no one is going to come and steal our quality Plarail and Hit Toys models from us.
