Here's an update, Wal-Mart has an exclusive Voyager Starscream from the film, repainted to look like Thundercracker, while Target has the same voyager Starscream repainted like G1 Starscream.
But beware! These new resissues and repaints tease us with their availability and novelty, but they are nowhere near as durable as their predecessors.
If you are looking for a quality product, I advise you to seek out the "Commemorative Editions" which began production about 5 or 6 years ago (give or take a year or two) and are more accurate renditions of the originals, and not the inexpensive and very fragile plastic types being produced now. The new ones are not too costly, but I have bought 20 or 30 of these in the past few years for my kids, and they have easily broken at least 10 to 15 of these. By contrast, they have only managed to break 2 or 3 of my originals.
I never had Soundwave. I always wanted one that was in good condition.
I do have a set of stampers--they were small: about 2" high. The set of four had Starscream, Optimus, Jazz, and Wheeljack, which I always thought was a strange fourth character for the set...
I also have one of those trading card sets. Each G1 character had an individual card, with a brief bio and their personal quote, and their rankings for power, speed, intelligence...just like they used to put on the back of the boxes.
I have a couple of lunch boxes, one metal, one plastic. A metal bed tray, a fold-out board with scratch-on decals of Cybertron, and the original board game, which is still in great shape, playing cards, and BTR lego sets of both Starscream and Optimus Prime.
I have a great comic collection and nearly every issue of the original series (#80--the last issue--reads "#80 in a four-issue limited series),
plus some of the dumb HeadMasters issues, both GI Joe vs. Transformers series, and the gorgeous Transformers Universe (4-issue limited) which features each original series character in alphabetical order in dossier format.
I have both Transformers ps2 games, and Beast Wars for both ps and N64. And dvd box sets for the first few seasons, and both the first dvd release of the original movie and the 20th anniversary 2-disc edition, and of course, the new live-action movie.
I used to have the original Megatron-Walther P38 and Starscream, but they were so old that they wouldn't even stay transformed anymore. But I still have
Original Optimus Prime
Original Power Master Optimus
Ultra Magnus
Blaster
Ravage
Longhaul/Mixmaster/Scavenger/and maybe Bonecrusher/
Goldbug (the throttlebot Bumblebee)
Optimus Primal
Optimus 2006 reissue
Optimus reissue 2007
Optimus Movie Entry Mode
Megatron Movie version
Megatron 2007 reissue
Megatron 2006 reissue (whose transformed mode was a laser gun) and Beast Wars Megatron (which just sucks entirely)
Commemorative Starscream
Starscream 2006 reissue
Energon Starscream
Cybertron Starscream,
movie version F-22 Starscream
36" Cybertron Starscream/36" Primus (Cybertron)
Grimlock
Bumblebee-Camaro
Bumblebee-Volkswagon
Barricade
Blackout
Scorponok
Devastator
And about another dozen or so that I got my sons, plus I bought them all of those Star Wars Transformers, but don't count those.
