These figures where very unique in their time, and like Reflector, being mail away only enhances their collectability.
Plus outside of shipping, if you had your Robot Points, they were free!
Never reissuing them makes them gem like in the hallows of Transformers.
Granted they still do exclusives, but they're never anything real origional, usualy just a repaint and if you're lucky a new head. Plus they'll charge you out the ass for them.
These were quality, origional bots. Things like this, the S.T.A.R.S Command Center were all things that, in my opinion, helped make Transformers special in the multitude of toylines, which added to it's lasting power.
You know when newer fans (welcome) start with "what's so great about G1" well keep in mind, besides an awesome show, there are alot of other reasons, that sadly you didn't get to enjoy like us older fans did, that established Transformers on a level better than great.

Indeed, minus a few things in there. I'm 18, so unfortunately I was never around for the original G1 releases, the Robot Points, etc. But I was lucky enough to see G2 on shelves, along with the G2 cartoon. But yeah, it is things like this that makes G1 so awesome.
