Bit Idea: Knock off edition of toys

[furie]

You know you got them. For me it was the Voltron 5 lions set my father picked up at tri-county flea market for $20. I never took them out of the package because i was convinced they'd crumble to dust. They were that cheap. But he tried. I mean, he couldn't tell the difference between Voltron and Megatron.

I'm sure there's a million stories like this, especially from us 20 something's that grew up in 80's, with constant new and hot fads that came out.

I had the Action Max video game system, it came out when the original nintendo did. It was this bullshit sensor that stuck to the tv screen with a suction cup and you shot at the screen with a light gun. The problem was the games were video tapes that of course were always the same when you played them. But that didn't matter because the sensor sucked such balls that no matter where you shot at the screen it registered as a hit. I hated my parents for so long for buying me that piece of shit.

I don't understand the logic here...if you're gonna bootleg something, wouldn't it be best to NOT include a picture of the infinitely superior toy being ripped off?

Do I need to be the first wet blanket to point out that Go-Bots predate Transformers, but simply couldn't compete with the cool factor?
