They even did the same with Transformers, and my brother was nice enough to buy me Sideswipe because he knew mine had lost a wheel long ago.

But I don't think you could drag me to that movie. This does, however, answer a question of mine: Why did they re-release GI Joe action figures like the ones I used to own in retail stores? To sell them to a new generation of kids using the movie instead of the cartoons as a shameless marketing tool.
