>>6512976meh, this seemed different to me. stuff like pic related that i got as a kid never bugged me. it made sense because the solid hull made it float. i'm probably just blinded by nostalgia and my fondness for the old stuff. i 100% agree about the license issue though. seems like all i ever see in stores is star wars, capeshit, creator, and rehashes of the same city shit.
Don't get me wrong, I know City is and will always be a staple. But I miss the old days of castle, pirate/armada/islanders, adventurers, and western. Even the stuff I didn't buy very often like exploriens and aquanauts just seemed so much cooler than what's introduced today. Meh. Nostalgia is a bitch.
