I don't like to discuss this topic, but maybe someone would like to read my 2 cents. I like the o-rings, but
I love the o-rings on comic pack form. The ones who can hold any weapon w/o breaking a thumb

. I wish I had seen more figures getting the treatment of the comic packs. I would like a Falcon v1 and some others that way. Of course the relaunch of the RAH in 2000/2001 made some woderful figures too.
Many people tell how poseable the 25th are and in parts it is true, however you can get real good poses from the old sculpts. People keep comenting on my pictures saying how good the poses are, but there are many here doing better than I, with the o-ringed figures.
I think sometime things change, like good TV series getting to an end. The bad thing about the 25th for me replacing the old ones, is to be on the wrong side. On the looser side, the o-ring lover side

.
