If I want to feel nostalgic I call my friend over and we play plastics. But most of the time I'm using MFB because it's so much better. The toy companies aren't concerned with your nostalgia anyways, they just want to make money. Also a lot of the stuff in the game is from the anime and none of the old characters are in the new anime. (something about a different universe or something? I've never actually watched the new show)
You seem to post a lot about disliking the new Metal Fusion generation and being pro plastic... Have you even tried Metal Fusion? I think it's a lot more fun than the plastic generation... More customization, newer product, hearing metal hit metal when you play... More community support... Etc, etc.
I prefer HMS because overall I get more powerful launches with them and I think they look much more advanced.
HOWEVER you are totally incorrect about the customization part. Plastics more specifically the V2 series with support parts was and still is the pinnacle of customizations they had the most variety almost everything up to then was able to be included with them they had the extra customization in the form of support parts on the bases (and the bases were all pretty freaking amazing too).
About money? There should be a market for nostalgia and I don't know how large it is, but it might be something they wanna look into to make more money.
All of this aside. I think certain MFB look incredible and perform as well as the best HMS could. I love how Storm looks and although Kei obviously disagrees with this because of the comment he made on my repaints. I love Flame possibly the best. (but I am a Sag and I've always had a soft spot for Archery)
Let's face it we are limited at the moment but the game is only starting again we're at the begining of the 2nd season of a probable 3 season series. This could be really something before we're through.
