I have to jump in and add my agreement to this post. Speaking as someone who
did not have the opportunity to get the Battrax when I was younger, I am
thrilled to have another chance at getting it now that I have the purchasing
power to do so. I couldn't care less if it's "not the original" - it's close
enough for me.
And if one of the other sets happens to win this time, I wouldn't be too
terribly disappointed - I like them all, I just prefer space. Go SPACE!
