Im 41 so I do remember transformers...I just never played with them...now GI Joes are another story.... I also have a 5 year old boy and wonder how your 4 year old knows about Transformers???? My boy watches TV and doesnt really know about them.
I've got a 9 year old nephew. Transformers, GI Joe, and He-Man made somewhat of a comeback about 4-5 years ago. granted, they're not as popular as they were in the 80s, but my nephew had a ton of the newer toys. so they're banking that they're going to get the guys that played with them in the 80s who now have children of their own, plus the big summer box office thing. this movie will probably do pretty well. if it's 'thin on story', I don't know how good it will be. though I never played with Transformers, I was more into GI Joe and Star Wars.
