Vintage

Vintage G1 is a series of Generation 1 reissues from Hasbro which began in 2018.

Sold exclusively in the US market by Walmart, the toys are packaged in Generation 1-styled boxes complete with fonts, classic box art and Tech Spec. The toys themselves hew closely to the original releases, mostly using The Transformers Collection variants, incorporating subtle differences for safety or other reasons. Like their original releases, many include sticker-sheets for the customer to apply, enhancing the ~~maddening, hair-pulling~~ warm nostalgic experience.

After the release of Hot Rod and Starscream, Hasbro responded to ~~wails~~ feedback from customers, rounding off the boxflap corners on the packaging for the Optimus Prime and Soundwave releases.
