Quoted from rawbars:

If you have never watched the show and aren't a fan of those characters then I could see how the translite might not appeal to you. But If they were all sitting around with shit eating grins it just wouldn't look right. I loved the show. It helped start all of the incredible original programming on HBO etc. and it's still better than most of the shows that came after it.
I watched it as it aired in my 20s and 30s And at some point this fall/winter I think I'm going to go back and watch it again. I think I will appreciate it even more now. And playing a Sopranos pin in a bar is what began my interest in this hobby. Eventually I will have one in my home.
