it's simply a nostalgia thing
Yeah, that's one part. You can always get the OG's or re-issues, if you're just trying to satisfy your nostalgia needs.
But I think what makes Transformers special, and different from say Star Wars toys, is that we're just getting the characters we watched growing up on TV 30 years ago. Sure modern SW toys are also way more detailed than the OG's, but the og TF's we literally just bricks that you stood up and nothing much more. The engineers who make these figures now are just on another level. So you not only have the benefit on having nostalgia with all these characters, but you have the benefit of having today's technology to give these characters figures justice.
not my photo but just look at what you can get now, compared to what he had then.
Plus, a lot of characters have multiple versions, so you're able to pick and choose which one suits you the best.
